Our little baby girl had her first round of hiccups last night! I've read that around this time babies in the womb experience hiccups because they are practicing breathing - our little one had them. I was laying in bed around 6:30 (yes that's right, laying in bed! my back was hurting, but I did get up soon after and play with Austin and get dinner going) and I started to feel this little 'tap' every 2 seconds pretty low. I laid there and realized she was having her first round of hiccups. They lasted for about 2-3 minutes, with this rhythmic tap every 2 seconds. Feeling that reassured me that she's doing well and is head-down. I always thought she was head-down b/c most of the movement I feel is above my belly button and I assumed that's her little feet. Also, I'm pretty sure I felt an elbow roll across my low belly a few nights ago, that was a strange feeling.
If you're wondering on how big she is - I've read (and the Dr confirmed) that she probably weights a little over 2 pounds and is around 14" long. My book described her as weighing as much as a head of cauliflower ....random I thought. We go in for our next visit on April 24th and we get another sonogram! Oh I can NOT wait to see her again. They recently told me I have a low-lying placenta and they want to take another look at it, but they are 99% sure it will have moved up so I can deliver naturally. We're crossing our fingers this is true :) So I will have current pictures to post of our baby in 3 weeks!
So Jeff and I have officially decided on her name! BUT, we still are not ready to announce it yet. We're going to tell both sets of parents first and of course siblings, before we post it on the blog. I hope to post her name after Easter if we can get in touch with everyone! I'm so excited to start monogramming.... well, I say that but I really dont have anything to monogram yet. All I have is one changing pad cover I want to put her first initial on. Oh well, either way we are SO excited to let everyone know her name (and monogram!)
Lastly, Jeff's mom and sister got us the most adorable outfits while they were in Aspen last week. I'll take pictures of the outfits soon and post them - they are precious!

I'm so excited you got to feel her hiccups! It's still so fun to feel Sutton's and it's almost like I'm "bonding" with him more when he does real people things like that. :) Movement is SO fun, too. Enjoy this time!!
I can't wait to know her name!!
