Hiccups

Weirdest. Sensation. Ever. Woke up in the middle of the night on Saturday, and while lying in bed, felt this thump thump thump thump thump thump thump... in my belly. It went on and on and on. At first I thought maybe I was hearing the baby's heartbeat, but it was slower than that, and faster than mine. Then I remembered that the baby could be hiccuping. Ahhh... so that's what it feels like!

I never got hiccups myself; well, they only lasted a hic or two and then stopped, so it was kind of an alien feeling to me. They say (you know, the all-knowing They) that the baby doesn't feel discomfort from hiccups, and, well, I sure hope not (how do they know???)!
