Hiccups...

Yep, le babe has the hiccups. and i totally dig it. Really, it is the cutest, sweetest thing to feel her hiccuping. She's been going for several minutes now, and since i know it doesn't bother or harm her, i kinda hope she keeps it up. I know i've complained about the trials and sufferings of pregnancy, but feeling her move is something i'm completely into. and feeling the constant, rhythmic movements of the hiccups is even better.
i will admit, that despite my whining on here about not enjoying pregnancy, i am beginning to realize i will miss it a bit. don't get me wrong, i will not miss the constant craving for food, any food, the very fast weight gain, the limited mobility, the cramps or the sore back. i will, however, miss having her right here with me, protected from the outside world, and i will miss it being just the two of us. really, its an intimacy that i can't explain properly. i think about it often. when i'm with friends, or in church, or in class or wherever, i think about the fact that this tiny little person is inside me, hanging out, and no one else is privy to that. i'm the only one that knows when and if she's moving. i'm the only one who can tell if she's punching me, stretching or rolling around. and i'm always aware of her, whereas other people know i'm pregnant but they don't get the enormity of the baby inside of me. there is just no way to explain how special that is. so yeah. there are lots of things that i don't like about this, as i've mentioned. but the cool parts, so outweigh any of those.
