Whispers From The Womb VOICES UNHEARD

My Life in Mommy’s Womb

My 1^st Month of Life

I have my own set of DNA

God has already decided if I will be a boy or a girl

But Mommy & Daddy won’t know until later

My eyes have begun to develop

By the third week my heart begins to beat

My arm & leg buds start to appear

I am about ¼ inch long

My 2^nd Month of Life

I begin to move & I respond to touch

My brain waves can be recorded

My muscles work together

My ears, eyelids, nose & lips can all be seen

My fingers & toes are defined

All my organs are present & functioning

I am about 1 ¼ inches long

My 3^rd Month of Life

I can suck my thumb

I can grab things with my hands

I hiccup sometimes which mommy will feel later

I move & I jump around a lot

I can hear & feel pain

And I am about 3 inches long

My 4^th Month of Life

Mommy can feel me moving

I can taste things now

Fine hair is growing on my body & my head

You can see me make facial expressions

Sometimes I smile & yawn

By seventeen weeks I am 9 inches long

My 5^th Month of Life

My hiccups are driving mommy crazy

My fingernails & toenails are present

I weigh about 1 lb

And I am about a foot long

This month is the half way mark for me in mommy’s womb

But if I had to be born now I could survive

My 6^th Month of Life

I like tasting all the different foods that mommy eats

I don’t have as much room to move around

But I can roll over

And sometimes I don't mean to

But I kick mommy really hard

My 7^th Month of Life

I enjoy it here in mommy's womb

I use my senses

I look around

I taste, touch & listen

I weigh about 3 lbs.

My 8^th Month of Life

My skin begins to thicken

My lungs continue to mature

I love to hear my Mommy & Daddy’s voices

I am getting bigger & gaining more weight

My 9^th Month of Life

My lungs are fully developed

I weigh between 7 and 8 lbs

And I am about 20 inches long

I am turning in my mommy’s womb

To prepare for the big day

My Birthday
