Hiccups at 32 weeks

I've had a number of people ask me if Braylin has had the hiccups yet, and unfortunately I've had no idea what the hiccups even feel like. Until last night! Jay was feeling her move all around, and all of sudden she was in a steady jumping-like pattern for a little while. I'm assuming it was the hiccups -- or at least it was exactly what people have been explaining it's like! It was so neat! I don't know what gets into this little booger at night, but she almost always decides to dance around my belly in the evenings. I absolutely love it!!!!! It's the best part of being pregnant!!!!

32 week update from "What to Expect..."
This week your baby is tipping the scales at almost 4lbs and topping out at just about 19inches. And growing isn't the only thing on the agenda these days. While you're busy getting everything ready for baby's arrival, baby's busy prepping for that big debut, too. In the last few weeks, it's all about practice, practice, practice, as she hones the skills needed to survive outside the womb, from swallowing and breathing to kicking and sucking. And speaking of sucking, your little one has been able to suck her thumb for a while now. Ok, maybe it's not a survival skill, but it sure is cute! Another change this week: your baby's skin is no longer see-through. As more and more fat accumulates under the skin, it's finally opaque (just like yours!).
