10 Questions to Ask Yourself Before Having Kids
My sonogram of my twins.
What cute little heads!
My twins, seven months in the womb, are already showing signs of what they like. I'm basing this on their reactions to what I eat and do, and how much they kick and respond.
I put together a list and I'm curious to see if the things they like now match with the things they like after they are born.
My twins love...
- Mexican food. I don't do spicy, so it's a bland version. But even when I had morning sickness in the first trimester, burritos and tacos were always welcomed.
- Daddy playing guitar. My hubs plays for them and first they give soft kicks in the direction the sound is coming from, then they are calm.
- When I sing to them. I made up a song called Two Little Babies in the Belly (I'm silly) and my husband knows the words, too. When we sing it to them they seem to respond, but seem relaxed.
- That first glass of water or juice in the morning. (So does mama.) They seem all tensed up when I first get out of bed, then I hydrate and they seem happier.
- Taking showers. They probably find the water as soothing as I do. For them it's more the sound though.
- Ice cream. I pay for this with their insane kicking. But oh how we all love Ben & Jerry's Peanut Butter Cup ice cream.
- Meditation and deep breathing. It really relaxes us all.
- When I rub my belly. Sometimes they move a lot or feel like they are tensed up in a ball. If I rub my belly over them and say some soft words like I love you babies, they relax.
What about your baby in the belly? Are you noticing certain things or foods they respond to or seem to like?

Mine responds to daddy playing guitar, too! Also, she starts kicking & wiggling up a storm when he gets home from work & she hears him. When I eat/drink something first thing in the morning. Or if I'm pretty hungry, she lets me know that both of us are hungry & we need to eat something!! She also seems to like when I do my yoga, I feel like she's stretching along with me!
Man oh man, I love your posts! They always make me giggle yet tear up a little! How sweet of you to make up a song for your little ones. I am sure they will love it when are are born too!
All three of my babies loved when we would put a flashlight against my belly. We would move it around and they would follow the light and kick and punch away at it! It was our favorite baby game.
When I was pregnant, both times, I craved cheese. I felt nauseous until I got to eat cheese. Now both of my girls LOVE cheese. They would rather have cheese than candy any day.
How awesome Daddy playing guitar for them! That is soooooo cool! It was rather long ago for me, but I do remember that I ate tons of junk food with my first & meat, red meat by the pounds and my second I could not tolerate most cooked foods, which left me with salads & raw vegetables - my first born is a semi-vegan she could not eat meat for a year and it wouldn't bother her & my second is a junk food junkie. I also remember that Nicol woke me at 3 am & Cory at 4 am every night the last trimester with kicking & squirming and it ended up being their feeding times, like clockwork.
What a sweet, sweet article!!
My baby girl looooved caesar salad. She would kick like crazy whenever I ate it.
Aww...that is super-sweet! When I was pregnant with my son he would go crazy when I was driving...I finally figured out that was because I always listened to music with a great beat! He also went crazy at my cousins band performance when I was about 37 weeks along and now he is 21 months and LOVES music! He also has a great beat and keeps time with all types of music!
She does not like Nervana's music. lol She loves Orange juice.
