Yes I am still pregnant.  This week I am just into my third trimester.  Now before all of you jump the gun and think me insane, give me a moment to explain.  And forgive me to those of you who think all of this is idiotic.

Yesterday evening I noticed the little one seemed to be kicking in rhythm.  I thought it a bit odd.  It lasted about three to five minutes.  There were no other symptoms.  The tapping feeling was slightly below my belly button and very light.  So light infact I thought that maybe it could be my own pulse I was feeling but no, my heart was beating a bit faster than the rhythmic feeling in my belly.  So I went back to the idea it was the baby.  I feared something was wrong.

I did the only thing I could think of.  I googled it.  I tried a few search terms.  Nothing.  Nothing good, nothing bad, just no information on anything happening like this.  I kept an eye on the clock and tried a few more pages in.  After some digging I started to find some women who had gone through the exact same thing.  Everyone said it was hiccups.  I didn’t even know it was possible for my unborn child to get the hiccups.  It seemed a little strange.  Then I stumbled across a site where a certfied nurse explained to a woman going through the same thing that it nothing to worry about the baby had just a little case of the hiccups.

Hiccups!  That’s insane.   I will of course confirm this with my OB at my next visit.  I just wanted to record the moment so I would never forget.

At 17 weeks I started feeling him kicking.

At 26 weeks pregnant my unborn baby boy had his first bout of hiccups.

I really should setup a timeline with this stuff.  Wish I would have recored more things as they happened earlier. :’(
