I had to make a post about this so I don't forget the date or time later on down the road.
Last night around 1am I was watching TV with Sean. I was laying down when I felt the baby start kicking. I told Sean that she was really moving tonight and asked if he wanted to feel her. He did :)
After a few seconds of putting his hand on my belly, he asked "whoa, is that all her?" That's when I realized, for the first time that I've noticed, my precious little Mia had the hiccups! It was hilarious. I tried to lay as still as I could, but I started laughing really hard. The hiccups were faster than my heartbeat (which I had to check for, because I can sometimes feel my heartbeat in her amniotic fluid too and I didn't want to confuse one for the other). Anyway, like I said. Faster than my heartbeat and completely rhythmic, just like hiccups should be.
I was definitely tickled pink the rest of the night.
By the way, hiccups are a good sign that she's practicing swallowing and probably swallowed just a bit too much at once. :)
Stay tuned for the next milestone...who knows what or when it will be!

Haha the more you learn, the more you should share with me!! I love learning more, but I'm way too impatient to wait for all the fun stuff to happen to me in order to learn about it. :P
