The snow is slowly melting... and the nursery is slowly coming together. My wedding "thank-you" list is slowly nearing completion and every morning finds me sloooowly getting out of bed. I certainly welcome the slow pace these days, and find that I'm much less forgetful if I am slow to move from one task to the other.
Morenna, on the other hand, is anything but slow. Within the last month she has developed a habit of having the hiccups at least once a day. This has been a really unique experience for me. I knew to expect them at some point or another, but this every day stuff is getting a bit much. :-) If I sound like I'm complaining, I am... sort of.
At a recent Drs. visit Morenna was identified as being head down and ready to go. Every mother's dream, right? It's true I'm happy about that fact (although we still have 9 more weeks to go). But every time Morenna has the hiccups, she head-butts my bladder (more than you wanted to know, right?). The scene typically looks like this:
hiccup... bladder spasm... 3 seconds of peace...
hiccup... bladder spasm... Mom wonders if she should visit the restroom... Mom dismisses that thought... 3 seconds of peace...
hiccup... spasm... Mom stands up... Mom sits down... 3 seconds of peace...
hiccup... Mom dashes to the bathroom...
baby's hiccups stop.
Cute, Morenna. I guess that's one way to get me to do a little workout.
LOL! Pregnancy sounds like such an adventure. :-)
ReplyDeleteThough I long for someone in the family to have the "pleasure" of carrying, birthing and raising twins, I am beginning to understand (by way of your "complaining...sort of") why you perhaps, may not be the "chosen one" AP ;-)
ReplyDeleteLol... that sounds familiar! Lucy regularly had hiccups at least 3 times a day, but fortunately she wasn't sitting right on my bladder most of the time. Be thankful for that, though! That probably means that Morenna is actually in the right place, as the doctor said. Lucy was head-down, but turned sideways, hence (probably) some of our difficulties in getting her out. :-p
