Hiccup!!!

I had another Dr. appointment today to see Eric again! (tomorrow I'll be 34 weeks)

As always, they asked me how I was feeling. I told them great...because I am! It's amazing what taking one day off of work, to do nothing but lay on the couch with my eyes closed for most the day, did for me!

She then asked how his movements have been. Again, I said great! As much as this is the most uncomfortable stage of my pregnancy (ribs always ache)...it's by far my favorite stage of my pregnancy! As sad as it is for Eric...I love the fact that he is running out of room in there. He can no longer hide from me and I love it! Before he would kick and be gone...but now he doesn't have anywhere to be gone to! hehehe! So at just about any point of the day I can feel my stomach and feel where he is at (it's rock solid compared to the rest of my stomach)! It also means that I feel most his movements now. So anytime he does a slight adjustment...so does my stomach! Which can be a lot of fun when you are sitting in a meeting and he start to move around and someone, like Jessica, sees my stomach bounce! It was so much fun seeing her reaction to it! By the way...I'd like to thank you Eric for making Mommy's long meetings WAY more entertaining.

So after I leave the technicians room I have a seat and wait for the Dr. to be ready to see me. As I am sitting there Eric started to twitch, twitch, twitch. At first I started to laugh, but then he started to do his usual rolling around on top of it. To this day I never questioned how he moved, but this was strange. I tried to stay calm figuring I had just seen him 2 min. prior and everything looked perfect. But I couldn't figure out why he would be twitching at the same time as he is rolling around. So the Dr. calls me in and I immediately tell her to look at my stomach. She started to laugh and said "Oh...he has the hiccups!" Sure enough as I was sitting there they started to calm down and so did Eric. She said now is the time that that will start to happen more often. Now that I know what it is I think it's cute (Even though I don't think Eric would agree. He sure was moving around like crazy...almost as if he was trying to get what was happening to him to stop! Poor guy.) As much as it seems he hates them...I can't wait to hear those little hiccups in person!

Yay! I loved the Hiccups, unless she had them when I was trying to sleep. By the end that was the only time Aaron could feel the baby! Wouldn't that have been cool.....or maybe scary, to see him on the ultrasound with hiccups. :-)
