So for a really long time I did not think that I had felt the baby have the hiccups at all throughout my pregnancy. I was at the doctor last week and I mentioned that I often feel that I can feel my blood flowing/heart beat; he thought that was odd and say that maybe they were just really small kicks or movements. Today I was sitting in our Monday staff meeting and I kept feeling this motion of like my stomach moving up and down…I believe the baby had the hiccups and has really been having them for several weeks now…apparently I was just too naïve to realize that is what was going on. It was kind of cool once I realized it, then the baby started to have the hiccups and kick/punch at the same time which was just a lot of movement period! I am still waiting to see an actual foot or hand print on my stomach when the baby kicks.
I know it has been over a week since we posted pictures and we will soon. I can promise you as nature intends that I am getting bigger…at this point I realize there is nothing I can do about the process. Laying down is starting to get uncomfortable, but luckily at this point I am still comfortable sitting, standing, walking etc. Joe and I were laying on the couch last night watching a movie and I felt like my lungs were being completely smushed, I took in some pretty deep breaths, then I would have to attempt to re-position myself on the couch. At some I think I got comfortable, but I am sure for the next 4 weeks or so it will be an ongoing struggle.
My next doctor’s appointment is next Friday (September 2) I will be 37 weeks and from there we start weekly appointments. It won’t be long now! J
