Little Hiccups!

The cutest thing happened this morning as I was lying in bed refusing to wake up. I felt Baby hiccuping for the first time! Normally the taps, thumps, kicks, prods, pokes and rolls are completely random and I never know when, where or how the next one might be, but this time, it lasted a few minutes and my tummy was jumping at the same place and at regular intervals! It's really thrilling to feel her moving inside me. She's started moving a lot more lately. She used to just prod and poke occasionally, but now I feel her rolling around, moving up and down and doing all sort of acrobatics. Sometimes I watch in amazement as my tummy develops a life and personality of its own. It's like those round curtain changing rooms, where you see all sorts of funny shapes and movements when someone is changing inside. Or like Darcy when we put him in a doggy bag and the funny shapes we see when he stretches or pushes against the sides of the bag!

I'm really excited. Baby is now 28 weeks old, is the size of a chinese cabbage, has eye lashes, can hiccup and suck her fingers!
