A couple of weeks ago, we read in our "What To Expect When You Are Expecting" book that after the 25th week we would be able to hear Carter's heartbeat by simply pressing an ear against Kathleen's belly. The only problem is that every time Dax puts his head on Kathleen's belly to listen, Carter immediately kicks or punches Dax right smack in the ear! Apparently, Carter is rather protective of his personal space or his mommy because he's managed to do this every single time.
Although we haven't heard the heart beat yet outside of the doctor's office, this past week, for the first time, we heard Carter hiccuping, which was pretty awesome! Kathleen felt a rhythmic beat in her belly that was too slow to be a heartbeat and told Dax that she was pretty sure she was feeling the baby hiccuping. Dax was skeptical at first, but when he put his ear to her belly, he confirmed that the little beats were definitely hiccups. He went back for another listen and immediately got punched. You've gotta love a predictable baby!
