mamajoanWhen Isaac was in utero he got hiccups very frequently. This is fairly common. And fetal hiccups are pretty hard to mistake for anything else -- what else would cause the baby to jump/twitch rhythmically like that? Up until a week or so ago I thought Cosmo was going to skip all of that, because by this point in the pregnancy Isaac had been getting hiccups for quite a while, and Cosmo, so far nothin'. Although Cosmo seems to be a much more active baby than Isaac was (I say "seems to be" because honestly my memory is kind of sketchy, so it's really just a feeling), Cosmo didn't seem to be the hiccuping type.
Until now! And now s/he seems to get them at least once or twice a day. And they last quite a while. It's a pretty odd sensation especially since s/he is so big now. S/he doesn't seem to like it much either; there's a lot of wiggling around goin' on in between the hics. ;)
Isaac hiccuped a lot in his first few months after birth too, which I understand is also fairly common. So we can expect that with Cosmo too. There isn't much that's cuter or funnier than a small baby with hiccups. :D
Research has indicated that babies can recognize their mothers' voices after birth, from having heard it so much in utero. It seems to me that this must also be true of other people whose voices they hear frequently (e.g. mom's significant other). It makes me happy to think of Cosmo recognizing Isaac from his voice after s/he arrives. Goodness knows s/he hears him talk enough, my little chatterbox. ;)
