So anyone who has seen me lately knows that I have the weirdest hiccups you've ever heard. I've always had crazy hiccups but I don't get them very often. Now that the wee 'un is squishing everything around I seem to have random, single hiccups on a regular basis. Travis tells me I sound like some bizarre exotic dying bird when I hiccup and he tries not to laugh at me as sometimes they hurt!
Today, however, I was NOT the only one with hiccups. The wee 'un had a round of hiccups that took me by surprise! I get a lot of baby movement every day, which ranges from gentle squirming to kicks and jabs that make me cry out (generally the former, less often the latter which is a good thing) but this afternoon was something totally different. It took me a minute to figure out what was going on, didn't feel like movement but something was definitely going on in there. After a couple of minutes they were all done and we went back to our normal program of wiggles and squirms.
I sincerely hope for our baby's sake that if hiccups continue that they'll take after Travis and not me :)

Scotland and baby update
Home at last! No more trips, no more visitors (we enjoyed all of you that came to see us!), and now it's time to scare out all the dust bunnies that have collected in our tiny apartment and rearrange furniture to make room for +1 coming in a couple of months.
Just posted, a small photo album of our trip to Scotland. The first weekend in May was a holiday weekend here (known as a 'bank holiday' it's rumored to celebrate May Day). We took advantage of the day off, added a couple more days, and flew all the way to Scotland. Turns out it's a good thing we opted for a short trip this time (45 min flight time Dublin-Edinburg) as the wee 'un is already pushing for space. It's difficult for me to sit totally straight up in the position of airline seats, the wee 'un let me know know how squished it felt in there.
So far all is still going well with the pregnancy. I'm definitely slowing down and feel absolutely enormous. My knees remind me of how much weight I've gained every time I try to bend them. The munchkin is VERY active still, my belly looks like a wave machine most of the time! Travis is back to working 6 days a week, which is rough on both of us, but we're hoping he'll get out of the thick of work in the next few weeks. He will be able to take some time when the baby comes, I'm hoping that the time sacrifices now will free him up later when it will actually be more important to be together.
