I just got out of the shower- sorry, no face shots today! But, here are my belly shots from this week. I am going to try and do them every week as opposed to every other week since we are getting close to Chase's arrival!

Chase has had the hiccups several times a day, every day. In fact, he has them as I am typing this right now! I read that it is a sign of a healthy, mature baby, so that makes me happy! See below:

"First of all, only more mature fetuses hiccup in the womb because their central nervous system is adequately developed in order to allow this to happen. It is believed that the fetus breathes in amniotic fluid or drinks it. When this happens and the amniotic fluid enters and exists the fetus lungs then the diaphram contracts and hiccups results. Fetal hiccups appear to be extremely normal and almost all moms will feel the babies hiccups at least once if not on a regular basis. Keep in mind that when your fetus is hiccupping there is nothing wrong. You dont need to call your doctor or midwife, unless you feel something else is going on, and you dont need to freak out. Simply relax and enjoy feeling your baby move inside you."
