I know I've mentioned before that I think it's one of the neatest things ever to feel -- and watch -- the baby move. But it's even cooler when I can poke my belly and the baby pokes back. Which he did last night. More than just once. It was pretty awesome.
Also, I think that maybe he might have had the hiccups yesterday. At least, I think that's what it was. For about five minutes or so, I kept feeling this faint, yet strangely constant and steady kicking...kind of like a small on-and-off vibration deep inside my gut. The fact that it was different than any other movement I've felt from him before, combined with the propensity to frequent hiccups this child is sure to inherit from me, led me to make this informal diagnosis. I wonder if my conclusions were correct.

The research designer in me thinks it would be so fun to experiment - how different music styles and volumes affect him and his motion, how your motion affects his . . . you could have some serious fun with it. You know, in case you have spare time on your hands . . .
I thought it was the cutest thing the first time mine got in utero hiccups. Let me just tell you--it will NOT be cute for much longer! He had them pretty much all night, every night until he was born! Not cute to a sleep deprived pregnant mommy. And then he still got them a lot after he was out in the world, which was more distressing because he looked so freaked out by it! Good luck and enjoy while you can!
Oh, I loved the hics! It helped remind me that everything was going okay in there. For someone as neurotic as I tend to be, it was a little reassurance.
