Rowan has hiccups right now. I'm trying not to let myself write blog posts at work (it would be nice to achieve some degree of compartmentalization in my life, though that effort may be futile), but anyway, I was afraid I'd forget this.
He's probably had hiccups about ten times now. The first time was quite a while ago and he was still small, so it kind of felt like a tiny little boxer was punching with a tiny little fist from inside my lower belly. But now that he's bigger, I can feel his head very low and his feet very high in my stomach, simultaneously doing rhythmic little jolts that actually jar my whole body. If you're wondering how a baby who isn't breathing air yet can get hiccups - I wondered that too! But lest I end up making two medical posts in one day, I will not recount my current understanding of fetal hiccups. Go use your vast knowledge of the internet and look it up yoursef! :-)
