My mom was over yesterday, and we were talking about baby movement. I mentioned that I hadn't felt either of my boys hiccup, which made me kind of sad. I knew I had the hiccups quite frequently when my mom was pregnant with me, and my best friend's little guy hiccuped almost non-stop, including for many months after birth. It's just something I wanted to feel for myself. My mom said that only me and my brother hiccuped--neither of my sisters ever did.
Oh well, right?
While watching the Jazz game last night (a tragic loss in overtime, against the evilest team in the world), Damien suddenly bounced.
And bounced again.
And again!
About every 5-10 seconds, for almost ten minutes! My little guy, what a show-off. His daddy didn't believe me at first (he had somehow never heard, or perhaps believed, that babies could indeed hiccup in utero). After about 5 minutes of his hand on my belly, he took it as fact.
It was so much fun--these little rhythmical spasms, not very strong but certainly present. I pictured him bouncing around in his fluid, probably a bit pissed off, as really, he hardly has any muscle control at all, this simply adds insult to injury. It also made me happy--I know it's practicing breathing that leads to hiccups, so now I have proof positive that both him and his brother are doing everything they can to mature their own little lungs.
I'm getting so excited to meet them.

Very cute! I found my sons hicups very reassuring as well.
Hooray! I wonder if I'll feel that.
Both my little guys hiccup all the time....I find it hilarious and adorable!
