I realize it has been a while since I have given any pregnancy updates so I thought I would share a few.

I now have less than 6 weeks to go and according to this web site, the baby is 4.73 lbs. and 17.72 inches long.

Last time it was mentioned that the baby may hiccup. WELL, he has been. A couple of times this week Joe has put his ear next to my stomach and actually heard the baby hiccuping and moving. Joe thinks it is so cool! All I can say is that he is moving so much that I am startled sometimes.

This is not something that I ever imagined. I never thought I would ever have kids so feeling this life inside me is an interesting experience. I can actually see my stomach moving at times and after I drink any caffeine, he is VERY active. I now understand why they ask pregnant women to limit their intake.

I reminded Joe that we have a doctor’s appointment on Monday and he said, “Maybe it will be like your sister and you will have to go straight to the hospital to deliver.” Talk about a scary thought! At this point I wouldn’t mind delivering early so I could get some relief for my back and so I can bend over again comfortably.

More to come later.
