Prayer, hiccups and ... poop?

Blogging is a lot like praying for me.  I tend to pray only when I want to complain about something or when I'm extremely thankful for something. 

Easter Sunday at my parents' church and old friend who hasn't seen me pregnant yet said to me, "I wish I looked that good not pregnant!"  I gave her a huge hug and told her I loved her.  Some women just really get it.

Last night I spent way too much money on a few essentials from Babies R Us.  I knew better.  I knew I could find it cheaper or wait to use a coupon.  Or buy it second-hand.  But I didn't.  And $45 later I dreaded going home to face the husband...and of course the argument ensued.  And now I'm taking it all back and rebuying portions of it with a coupon that we have. 

This morning he sleepily told me, "You are the wife I always dreamed for.  You are not only hot normally but you are hot pregnant too."  That sort of made my day :)

Another thing that has made my day are my baby's hiccups.  He is getting so big and my belly is lopsided depending on what side he prefers on any given day.  This morning he got the hiccups.  A rhythmic tiny spasm moving my belly, lasting for about 3 minutes.  Isn't that a marvel.  He's really in there and he's really got the hiccups.

Last night Tim proudly reported that he not only started but read four chapters in a birth book I asked him to read.  I admit, I was surprised.  Then later he grinned at me and said, "I read today that the baby poops in the amniotic fluid and then breathes it in, hee hee." 

Seriously.
