Tres Mas Weekos

Yes, as the title states (assuming you all can understand my made up spanish) 3 more weeks! Its on the calendar, c-section on Aug 21!! BUT... the baby has dropped, is head down, and I am dialated to a 2... so really and truly it (probably, hopefully, wishfully, prayerfully) will be any day now. She said she thinks the baby is a good 6 and a half lbs... I can do that. Im ready... just need to get a bassinet... I know what your thinkin... your ready and dont have a bassinet??? YES!!!! I'll get to that asap. :)

Anyways.. still no internet... still no pictures. Sorry.

Home sweet home.

Hello everyone!
Wow, have we been busy!! We got moved into our new house. We had TONS of help which I am sooo thankful for!! I (for the most part) was able to sit and boss people around. :) But, I did alot... way more than I should have... I'll admit it. But, the baby is still on the inside so I didnt do to much to make labor happen. Thats all that counts right??? We got the whole house unpacked. Just got hangin stuff that needs to be hung. That is on Nat's list tonight then we'll be done... oh and get the stove workin... but really, no rush on that. Im fine with it not being useable. :)

We have sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much more space.. its amazing. I never thought I would have emptiness in my cabinets or closets! But I do. Its great. It will be alot easier to bring the baby home to a bigger house!

My camera and I have not been buddy buddy as usual... maybe I have to much on my plate to think about taking pictures?? I have taken a few pictures but... I dont have internet so Im bumming off my parents computer and my camera chord is at home... I know, sad day.

Anyways... Im glad we got over this crazy time in life and are unpacked and moved in and done with the first birthday... One more check off the list. (Garage sale) and we'll be more than ready for a new baby and life can slow down a bit.

A BIG thanks to Karl and Crystal, Grant and Amber, Mom and Dad for helpin us move!! Ya'll made it happen for us!

Quick story for ya. ***Please dont call the cops on us... we are VERY aware as to how illegal this is*** This weekend, we (Karl, Crystal, Nat and I) headed to lowes to buy an A/C window unit for the house, we were in Karls car... didnt really realize how large the thing would be... We get checked out and are getting in the car and realize that that thing was NOT going in the trunk... or the front seat... or the back seat... (legally). So we comprimise right??? My dear sweet sacrificing husband GETS IN THE TRUNK (yes, I did just say that) and the box slides into the back seat by me... Karl and Crystal in the front seat... Go aheand and think it... WHAT AN IDIOT!!!! I totally agree. I was 100% not for this but when Nat and Karl get together... Karl encourages Nat's (stupid) ideas and here we go... older brother, younger brother thing I guess. Anyways... we rode all the way home like that. We all made it home alive... I really hope that we wont ever have to do that again. Thanks Karl.... YOU are the reason Nat is the way he is...

Anyways... for some strange reason, I hear some brownies calling my name. I better go look into that.

Sneaky girl

Man.... does sneakiness and stubbornness come with being 1???

This girl is so sneaky, she knows when to be extra quiet so momma wont hear her, and when i do eventually process in my head that it is super quiet... better go find that girl, she hears my foot steps and she starts crawlin off 560 mph laughing her little head off cuz she KNOWS she shouldn't be doing whatever it is she is doing... Its all a big game to her... or if she has something in her mouth that she really would rather keep in there she takes off shaking her head no-no

And throwing stuff??? Whats up with that?? I dont play that game. (unless were in the middle of wal mart and I am forced to) She has gotten to where she takes her paci out of her mouth and just chunks it.. really Madelynn?? I am 8 months pregnant... it takes all I have to go on an outing with her by myself, she was throwin her paci everywhere. In the parking lot, 14 times while in the store.. I am sure that I looked like an idiot following the rolling pacifier all over the store. But it was one of those -in town all day, waaay passed due for a nap- times in life so I couldn't throw her paci in the diaper bag and let it be or we had world war 3 and I really wasn't wanting to deal with World War 3 at the time. Maybe tomorrow???

BUT... I still love her and think that she is the cutest thing in the world.

Loves to play that piano!

she tries to pick the polka dots off.

playin with her new toys!

Yesterday, Madelynn and I went Birthday money shopping! YA! We had fun... minus the pacifier chasing. We Went to Target and get her some shoes. She has pretty much outgrown all of her shoes so... we had to get some new ones... and whats more fun than shoe shopping??? Only thing is, they only had out wintery shoes.. no sandals or anything. Hello??? its only July, we will be wearing flip flops and sandals for atleast 3 more months. So we got a pair but definitely need to get some sandals to make it through summer. I also had a gift card that someone gave me a looong time ago as a baby gift and I have been saving it specifically for the baby. I finally thought of something to spend it on... Pacifiers! I am gonna try and give this one a different pacifier than Madelynn has to avoid issues and confusion. So we got some pacifiers.. another step towards being ready. :)

Today marks 35 weeks... know what that means??? 4 weeks to go!! That equals up to 28 days.. so close... but yet so far away. I got the car seat washed and ready for the baby. So Im ready!! Not that I want the baby to be early or anything... I do hope that we make it to atleast 37 weeks! I just have this little bitty feeling inside that I am a wee bit further along than the Dr. says.... YES, secretly, I am a doctor... :) Who knows... we'll just have to wait and see. Hopefully i get as lucky as I did with Madelynn and my water (undoubtedly) breaks in the middle of the night... not to early... but definitely not to late!!

Birthday day

So sorry if ya'll are sick of hearin about Madelynn and her birthday... 

Yesterday, Madelynn wanted to start her birthday day out bright and early around 6:30 in the mornin... her momma had other ideas but thats ok. I was glad tho cuz Nat got to see her and wish her a Happy Birthday before he went to work. When Nat got home from work, we headed to town and went to eat at Cheddars... I was reminded why we DONT eat out to often... the yelling that comes from my child during the -sit in the high chair waiting for our food- time... Luckily we were kinda secluded so I wasn't to worried about bothering other people. After we ate, Madelynn and I split... (and when I say split... I do mean I had half and she had half) a cookie monster... mmmm it was soooo good. We both very much enjoyed it.

waiting.... a silent moment

then... we made her wait for the cookie monster. Mean parents. :)

eaten our cookie monster...

and if you have ever been around Madelynn, you know this face all to well.

Then we headed to visit with her Great Paw-Paw and had some special memories with him. Neat to see the 2 of them together. A new, innocent life barely starting and an old life who has seen so much and knows so much. It was a sweet time!

We then proceeded to Academy where Nat got another pair of jeans with the rest of his birthday money. Then to Hastings to spend Madelynn's gift card! Let me tell ya... that is a great gift to give a child. We had so much fun looking at all the books and Madelynn enjoyed pulling books off the shelves as we passed by. Nat enjoyed playing with the train set that they had out... Its a little embarrassing to have your husband sitting on the floor playing with trains. But please... dont judge him. Were working on it. He is just a big kid who needs a son so that when he wants to play with trains... I can throw our son down there with him and it wont look so odd to onlookers. He also needs a son because the whole time we were looking at books, all he could pick up was books about trucks, monster trucks, working trucks, tractors and he would give it to Madelynn and try to convince me that she loved it and wanted it... I told him once we have a son, we can get those books but till then, we have to buy books about princess' and fairy tales and cute little girly things. (Dear God, please make this baby a boy. Amen) I could have spent hours in there just looking at the kids books. We eventually got out with a couple books. We had a fun time just the 3 of us.

Anyways.... I have been trying to upload a video but as usual... it wont do it. Not sure why I have so much trouble getting videos to upload... I'll try again later.

This is for Sherri. I knew he wouldn't be able to stay off of it for long. :) and Madelynn LOVES it! She laughs and laughs when she is on it. Thats what the video was of, hopefully I can get it on here!

Madelynn Part 2

....2:00 in the mornin, were sleepin and I am rudly awakened by a strange feeling. I was wetting the bed!! So I sat up and tried to hold it so I could make it to the bathroom but I couldnt hold it in... Im thinkin ok... what is my problem this is so weird. So I run to the bathroom and I think that I am peeing all over the place, at this point it was gushing out and I am thinking that my bladder exploded and Im gonna die. Once I get to the bathroom and fluid does not stop flowing Im like OMG... what if my water broke?? No way. I still had 4 weeks.. Im not even ready!! At this point, I am standing on a towel trying to figure out how to walk back to the bedroom to wake Nat up without making a horrible mess. I stayed on the towel and kinda slid walked my way to the bedroom. Here is how our conversation went:

Me: Nathaniel.

Nat: *snoring away*

Me: Babe... I need you to wake up...... NATHANIEL!!!

Nat: huh??

Me. I think my water broke (looking back now I laugh at the fact that I said I THOUGHT my water broke)

Nat: huh??

Me: I THINK MY WATER BROKE... CAN YOU WAKE UP AND HELP ME???

Nat: huh..

At this point I walk back to the bathroom a little frustrated and eventually back to try to wake him again

Me: (yelling) BABE. MY WATER BROKE. I NEED YOU TO WAKE UP SO WE CAN GET READY AND HEAD TO THE HOSPITAL

Nat sits up and stares at me with a look on his face like why on earth are you waking me up???

Nat: I told you I didnt want to go to church. Why are you waking me up?

Me: MY WATER BROKE. I DONT  WANNA GO TO CHURCH. I WANNA GO TO THE HOSPITAL

Nat sits there staring at me with a blank stare for about 2 more minutes I then inform him that he needs to wake up and hear what I am saying. 

Nat: (20 minutes later... not even kidding) Your water broke??? 

Me: YES!! I NEED YOU TO GET UP AND GET OUR STUFF PACKED CUZ I CANT MOVE OFF THIS TOWEL.

Nat got a big grin on his face then went into freak out mode (which I had already been in) Gets outta bed throws his clothes on and yells to me "Are you  sure your water broke" " Ya Im pretty sure... either that or my bladder exploded" At this point we are both so super excited and freaking out. I am standing in the bathroom on this towel, packing a few toiletries for us and yelling at Nat what to pack. He is running back and forth from our room to the babies room to the dryer to the babies room as I am thinking of stuff yelling it to him. That is teamwork!! :) I will have everyone know that he packed everything we needed!! He did a great job! 

ok so Im in full blown labor. Water is broke, contractions have started and are getting stronger and closer and it does not feel pleasant. Nat grabbed all of our bags and grabbed the car seat throws it all in the car and comes back in to help me out the door and into the car. An hour after my water broke, we were on our way to the hospital. Nat drove 90-100 MPH all the way to and thorough town. Ran a few stop sigs and red lights. In the mean time, he is timing my contractions and letting me squeeze the blood outta his hand and in between contractions, I am trying to call my mom and let her know it was time and then we called his mom to tell her we were on our way to the hospital (she works in the Nursery at shannon and just so happened to be working that night) We get to the hospital (I am STILL leaking fluids at this point) and we still have to go by registration. That took an eternity.

 Finally get up to L & D and get in a room and I am already  4 cm. YA! That was quick and easy.. gimme an epidural and I'll have this baby out in no time! ....Uh sorry... your baby is breech... we'll have to do a c section. So im thinkin ok. Thats fine. Just please give me some medicine. An hour and a half passes as they get stuff ready and get the Dr ready to go. At one time the Dr. comes in and tells me what I can expect and what he will be doing. Then the Anesthesiologist comes in and tells me all that he is gonna do and I can tell you NOTHING as to what they told me. I remember at one point telling my mom I thought she was stupid for doing this 5 times all natural. 

Finally, at about 4 somethin I guess (I really have no earthly idea... thats a guess) they come in and wheel me back. Give me that spinal and man... the world was a wonderful place! I layed there and my mind is going  a million miles an hour. I remember laying there thinking. I am sooo tired and Its 4 In the morning and this baby is coming. I am going to start this out being super tired and stay super tired cuz newborns dont sleep, I had a little moment of sadness. Then Nat came in so excited and so nervous and he sat there by me. I was shaking like a leaf (just a symptom of the spinal I heard) and I couldnt stop. He was very worried about me and the anesthesiologist told him that I was ok. and that it was normal. After that, I just remember a bunch of pulling and I felt like I was movin all over the place.

Then I heard it. That first cry. mmmh that is the best sound on the face of the earth. I thought to myself that is my baby! I couldnt believe it! IT was here... oh ya... it... what is it?? So I asked Nat if it was a boy or a girl and he just watched everything they did to her and totally ignored my question. Some time passed and Im like waiting for someone to say ITS A BOY... or ITS A GIRL! Then Finally like 8 hours later the anesthesiologist leaned over and told me it was a girl. He had heard me ask Nat. I later learned that Nat wanted to bring her over to me and tell me it was a girl as I got to see her for the first time. 

There she was. 6lb. 1 oz. 18 in long. Born at 5:01 in the mornin. Oh she was so beautiful. Then they took her away and Nat left with her and I was all alone. Finally They wheeled me back to a room and I got to hold her for the first time. She was so peaceful and beautiful and best of all, she was mine. She was goin home with me and was gonna be my daughter forever. We stayed in the hospital for 5 days with her cuz she had jaundice. I was dis- charged 2 days after she was born so at one point, we left her in the nursery and went shopping. Yes, 4 days after I had a c- section, I was at target. But we needed a few things for when we got home and I really wanted to get out of that hospital room. I walked around with such pride. I had a baby. My lifetime dream has come true! I look back now and I love the feeling that I felt while in the hospital and walking around target. What a great memory! 

Now, she is 1 years old and she is the most wonderful thing that has ever happened to us. This year has been the most wonderful, most stressful, year of our lives. From our battle with brestfeeding, and then our battle with formulas and vomiting, it seemed like it would never end.  Then the fact that she was so terribly tongue tied. Ill never forget the day we got her tongue clipped. It was the most terrifying horrible day of my life. Then there was the flu, ear infections, RSV, pneumonia, torticollis. Then the small milestones like sitting up and crawling and waving, seeing her smile for the first time, and hearing her coos for the first time, feeding her baby food, then feeding her real food. Seeing how much she enjoys food. Starting to pull up and take steps around the couch To the fun memories we will always have with our little girl. Our trips to Austin, our trip to the zoo, swimming with her for the first time, Our trip to Abilene, Our trip to New Mexico.... uhh I could go on forever, but I wont cuz Im sure Its plenty long enough.

We love you Madelynn!

Happy first Birthday!

Cant wait to see you grow up into a beautiful little girl! 

Thank you God for blessing us with a perfect, healthy little girl. May she grow up and love you with all of her heart and seek you all the days of her life! Bless her.

Madelynn Part 1

Today, one year ago, It was a Saturday and we didnt have much on our agenda. We were having a get together with all the Roses around lunch time and then after that. we HAD to go to town so Nat could get fitted for a tux for a wedding he was in. He had put it off way to long. We had talked about not going to the family get together and just going to town but Sharon REALLY wanted us to go for some odd reason so we just went ahead and went.

So we get to the cabin and walk in (we walked in with Nats mom, dad, and brother and his brothers famiy)  and we hear SURPRISE!! What?? surprise ..who in the heck would need a surprise party right now... thats weird.. oh well.... WAIT!! there is baby stuff everywhere, there is a baby cake, baby gifts... this is a surprise for us!! I was soooooo surprised.. I am a pretty sneaky person and it is very hard to surprise me but they got me! So after I realized this party was for Us and our baby, I was rather relieved because my other shower was not till Aug 2 (i think) and I was quite nervous cuz we had absolutely nothing ready for this baby and I was due Aug. 12. So we did the shower thing, played a few games, ate cake, and opened gifts... and hallelujah!! We got a crib, dresser and changing table set. We were sooo happy! We got lots of other great stuff but that was one thing that  we desperately needed and I was so relieved. 

We left and headed for town and hurried back so we could get all of our goodies set up and ready. Nat went in "the babies room" (as we called it, cuz remember, we didnt know what we were having) and shut the door and informed me not to come in till he said. So I stayed out and kinda cleaned and straightened up, there was stuff EVERYWHERE. Our house was a disaster just from all the goodies everywhere and kinda startin to get stuff ready to go the hospital. I had sat down and made a list of stuff I would need to pack and stuff Nat would need and of course, all the stuff for the baby for the hospital.... after all, I still had pretty much 4 weeks to go. But I planned to pack it all up the next day (sunday) We had also planned to go to  church on Sunday and then go to the hospital to register so that when I actually did go into labor, I didnt have to sit and register everything while in labor.

This is what the babies room looked like at this point

Around 11:30 pm, Nat finally comes out and tells me to close my eyes and come in the room. ....

It looked so wonderful!! 

and I pretty much looked like this...

humongous... swollen and swollen and not so wonderful...

So we eventually head to bed, house still a crazy mess. We had a small argument about whether or not we would go to church the next day (I know, I know). Nat was very tired and wanted to sleep in. I on the other hand wanted to go to church. We settled with if we wake up in time to go we will go, if not , we would just stay home and head to town later to register at the hospital. 

tomorrow... you will hear the rest of the story. :)

Party. Animal

Today we had Madelynn's party. Oh it was so wonderful! We really had a great time! She wont REALLY be 1 till Monday but we went ahead and got the partyin outta the way before movin and before I became any more pregnant. :)

Yesterday, at the very last second of the day, they scheduled Nat to work today. His last stop being at 2... the party was supposed to start at 2... so that threw me waaaay off seeing as he needed to be here not only for his daughters birthday party but also to grill the burgers and hot dogs... but we made do and changed it to 3. Luckily, he got here right on time to start the grill up! Thank the Lord!! 

I had flash backs to one year ago, almost exactly, when we were in the SAME exact place... but only having a baby shower. We were sweatin and openin gifts for our new little baby... today, one year later, were still sweatin and openin gifts for that same little 'ol baby (oh and did I mention that I am STILL pregnant?????)  Oh the memories... but you can hear all about that if you tune in tomorrow. :)

Thanks everyone who came out and celebrated with us. 

This is pretty much this is just gonna be a bunch if pictures of the day. Enjoy!

Its all for me??

Diggin' in

Our sweet little family

Oh ya!!

clean up was not so fun

present time!

Casher helpin open presents

Got lots of books! She loves to read!

and this awesome chair that I think she is gonna LOVE! She crawled right over to it and crawled up in it.

playin with her new toy

Cash and Mad

checkin out her new fridge toy with Daddy. (hopefully it will keep her occupied while I try to do stuff in the kitchen?? atleast a few days anyways)

She also got lots of clothes (yay!!) and a few toys and some blocks and a fun riding toy that she also loved. It was a good turn out. She got stuff she needed.

and I am BEAT! We had a great day but I'll tell ya.. I am in some serious pain this evening. I did WAY to much today. Dont tell Nat.. :) I'll get in even more trouble than I am already in for doing all I did. I have been trying to get a little itty bitty bit of a foot rub outta him but... its lookin like a no go... Darn.

Slow down life!

So remember way back when I told you about the magazine story??? Well, the other day when we checked the mail, It was in there!! Seriously, 5 months later?? Is that a necessary amount of time to make someone wait for a magazine?? Needless to say... its a DUMB magazine... I was just thankful that we got it! I was beginning to think not nice things about that guy.

Not much goin on around here. I have just been getting stuff ready for the new house. Cleaning and laundry. Dr's appointment yesterday, everything is goin great! Baby is growin wonderfully. and GETTING ANOTHER TOOTH! YA!! we survived another one. :) I'll just say the girls livin on motrin! Getting everything together and shoppin for Madelynn's birthday party. I think we are there! Now to just finish putting it all together and have a fun time celebrating Madelynn turning one. I am really excited about it. I really thought that it would stress me out but I have actually had alot of fun getting it all ready. And, on top off ALL this... I am managing to be 34 weeks pregnant in triple digit heat without dying. YEA!! Its goin by so much faster than the beginning did. We actually have been kinda busy. I lied when I said there was not much goin on around here. :)

Life is moving so fast. In a few days, our little girl will be one, in a week or so we'll be livin in a new house, then a few more weeks after that, we'll have a new baby. I am really excited to see what God has in store for us in the near future with all this change happening! 

It's all gonna work out, and its all gonna be ok! 

Thats my motto in life right now. 

Isn't it funny how God works in the most mysterious ways??? We have had some issues arise in our life and last night, God totally worked it out and turned the situation around completely. It was hard to face the reality of the situation but this morning, I feel like a whole nother happier person! Like my life has been renewed and washed clean. 

Anyways... I know that this was all probably super random... oh well. 

(sorry for the lack of pictures... I have zero energy to get up off this couch and find my camera and put the pictures on the computer)

Shake It.

We had a WONDERFUL birthday day together!  We did lots of shopping and talking. Nat found his Hallelujah jeans. Good Lord... I have NEVER in my life met a guy so dang picky about his clothes. He makes me laugh. But after 4 stores and trying on millions of pairs of jeans, we found em! It was alot of fun. We never made it to the movies but that just means we gotta go on another date...  I had contractions the first part of the morning for a good few hours... I dont know (but am assuming)  they were John Stamos contractions (or rather braxton hicks... one of Nat's "pregnancy words".. thats a whole nother post in itself.) They eventually went away. Since then I had a few here and there. I never had braxton hicks with Madelynn so Im just not 100% sure if I should be concerned about it or not. 

Anyways... on to my story. So some how or another, it must have been burned into her brain while in the womb, but Madelynn knows what shake it means.  You tell her to shake her booty and she starts bouncin and dancin and its just about the cutest thing ever. We have lots of fun with it. She LOVES to dance and the second she hears the words shake it or shake your booty  she starts dancin and shakin it. Its quite funny. I really need to get it on camera.

 This morning, we are watching Go Diego Go (this is not a normal occurrence... but its just one of those mornings.) and if you have never watched the show, they ask you to do stuff with them or answer questions... apparently Diego got into some sand (dont quote me on that, I was not paying very close attention to it) and they were havin to shake it off. I looked up from my computer when I heard them singing the words shake it off and Madelynn is standing in front of the TV dancin and shankin it... I about died. She may not know a whole lot in her little one year old brain... but she knows what shake it means... maybe we should be concerned about this?? :)

Ugh... I love it. 

Here are a few pictures of Madelynn's day with her MiMi and PaPa.... my mother must know me to well... she knew I would pack the camera in the diaper bag... Good job, mom. :)

Madelynn and "her girls"

Papa and Madelynn sun-bathing

Just a little bit tired I think... :)

and I just had to add this one on here... just look at those legs... dont worry, I will squeeze them for you.

and this is for Sharon... He does read... only to Madelynn!! I thought you might like to know about this. :) I am pretty sure that he would do anything for her. Your homeschooling paid off.

Happy Birthday to my Sweetie

Ok so when I said that my posts would be few and far between.. I lied, and what I meant to say was: A) We would get everything packed up that could be packed up way sooner than I had thought. B) We ran outta boxes. and C) I would be immobile due to the pain that this child is causing me. Allowing me to have ample time to blog. 

Now that we got that straight... For the record, Nat (who is the sweetie that I am talking about) has a birthday tomorrow  but he gets his birthday blog today cuz we have plans for tomorrow and one of them is not being at home so I can say sweet things about my guy and wish him a happy birthday. So Happy Birthday (tomorrow) my love! And a special shout out to his momma who labored with him for many hours only to be followed up by a honkin huge baby delivered by c-section. I would have given that kid up for adoption. Ok, not really... but I love him! In case ya'll couldnt tell. He is a great guy.

Thank you Lord for sending him to me and I pray for many more years to come in his life!

Last night, we had a birthday party for Nat with his family. It was fun. Fun times playing games and eating and hangin out. 

Happy Birthday Daddy!!

Madelynn and her aunt Crystal

Mark Allen reading her her new book all the way from Alaska. 

and this is just Nat for ya..

and yes, I realize that most of the pictures are of Madelynn, and this is supposed to be about Nat. My apologies 

Tomorrow, we plan to drop Madelynn off bright and early with my mom. (Not really mom, dont worry.) Just around noon or so. Then were gonna go out by ourselves! Wow, its been like 6 months since we have been out alone! I am soo very excited about it. Were gonna go see Transformers 2 and go eat somewhere. Then do some clothes shoppin with his birthday money and we also plan to get Madelynns birthday present while we are out. Then were gonna go to the stampede game! I know, so romantic. But thats what he wanted to do!! I am really lookin forward to it in case you  cant tell. I think that thats what is going to get me through this boring day!! That and the fact that Madelynn and I slept till 10:45 and when you sleep in, your days go by soooo much faster. 

This is just to make up for the blogs with no pictures. Ms. Bruise head herself... bein cute.

Oh and did I mention that today, I am 33 weeks! Woo Hoo! I made it through another week. So that means 6 weeks left!! I will just be glad to have some relief from the pain I am in. I really dont care THAT much about having this baby. :) ya right.. I think we all know differently than that.

....And I know that I am kinda going on and on about nothin but I had a question??? This morning, I was laying in bed and it was real quiet and I hear a popping noise coming from my stomach. I did not move at all and it would do it every time the baby moved. It sounded just like when you pop your fingers or your elbow under water. It was crazy. Do you think you could possibly hear that?? I looked it up online and it seems to be a common thing. A few ladies said it was just hiccups but these werent hiccups. A few said they had asked their Dr's about it and it was normal. Im not concerned about it. Just wondered if anyone else had ever experienced this??? Kinda neat.
