I've read that infants in the womb are capable of hearing and responding to music, so occasionally I place headphones on my tummy for the baby to enjoy

I play the same set of songs: Enya's" Lothlorian," "Concerning Hobbits," from the Lord of the Rings soundtrack, a bit of Mozart and Bach, the principal theme in "Amelie," and this cute little instrumental number from Jesse Harris called "Mineral."
I read to the goofy little guy, too. Kipling and Rowling.
Some of the best advice I can pass on (from my infinite baby knowledge ::rolling of eyes::). Pick out a lullaby and start singing it now.
I chose a lullaby that I thought wouldn't drive her crazy when I was about four or five months along and started singing it daily. There wasn't a big difference when she was really young, but at about a month or two old, when she started really responding to music (which she adores), even other people commented that that song more than any other could calm her down within a verse.

And wow, can I do a run-on sentence or what?

(I thought I'd counteract the run-on with fragments.)

They can also feel touch after 7 weeks, so you can feel free to give yourself belly massages!
