"There was a hippopotamus
who hiccupped quite-a-lotamus.
And every time he got'emus...
he'd fall upon his bottomus!"
-Aaron Zenz
Dear Spencer,
Good morning little one! It's 6:15 a.m. on this beautiful Wednesday morning and I've just been introduced to an all new wonder of pregnancy...the baby hiccups! What an odd coincidence, as I just spent 20 minutes yesterday researching this topic and wondering how I would be able to tell when this strange phenomenon happened. Well, my questions have been answered, because this morning I undoubtedly felt you have the hiccups for about 10 minutes straight.
(I feel kind of bad admitting this, but I loved every minute of it.)
While my sweet little baby was being utterly annoyed by one of nature's most pesky bodily functions, I was marveling at the wonder of watching my belly go up and down in a perfectly rhythmic motion. It was simply amazing. For 10 solid minutes I was able to completely connect with you from the outside - all the while feeling helpless because I couldn't do anything to comfort you.
Yes, I do feel guilty for enjoying this moment that I am sure was less than comfortable for you. However, I'm sure you'll have many opportunities to pay me back in the future.
Amazed by you,
