Baby Hiccups

I've been feeling kicks or beats in my belly button area, pretty close together just now. Once every 2 to 3 seconds. And then I noticed that it was still happening, even after 1 minute. Then I thought, maybe she is hiccuping! This is bambina's first long hiccup session that I've felt. If I wasn't at work I'd open my shirt and see how my belly was moving.

Hiccups are supposed to be good for the baby because it means they are practicing breathing and swallowing.

Even her hiccuping sounds cute to me and Colin. I told him at work when she was kicking that I thought she was hiccuping. Too bad you weren't here to feel her hiccups! Maybe that's what she's been doing at night when she does a lot of belly bumping in there.

Also I've noticed that Bambina moves when she hears Colin talking. Not a lot and not all the time, but there were a few times when I was laying on my back feeling for her, and then when Colin came home and talked to me the baby kicked when he put his hand on my belly. She really responds to him, it seems :)
