SUGAR HICCUP II

WEEK 30. 5

I love the internet! I love Google...

I had not mentioned this, but Little Bean has been getting the hiccups...well...a lot more often these past 2 weeks. More so, this last week. She even seems to be on schedule too. After we eat dinner (5-7pm) she, on cue, gets the hiccups! I had noticed the pattern but didn't want to think of it as an issue but as conscientious as I have been of everything at the home stretch, for some reason, I kinda panicked this particular evening. I grabbed my laptop and looked it up.

[pheew]

After several articles later, it is incredibly normal! Even a good sign of a healthy baby!! A strong breather (?!?!) Thank heaven. Then, as I read one particular entry, I got misty-eyed. I got choked up as my Little Bean is too cute and healthy trying to breathe. She is terribly feisty. Something about that last bit of info set in the fact that there really is a little girl in my belly, playing, sleeping, and hiccuping. Oh, I think the statement was that the mother couldn't wait to see her daughter hiccup in person. That's when that surreal feeling happened and I got emotional. My belly is the most awesome thing my body could do, it's protecting a little person trying to survive. Hormonal I guess.

Very amazing feeling...I'm just sorry dads don't get to experience this miracle. I tell Ryan I would do anything for him to feel what I feel everyday for just 1 day. He gets excited with just feeling her movements from the outside, oh but if he only knew...
