21st Week: External Sounds and Hiccups

Im beginning to feel a little bit tired, a little hungry and a little uncomfortable much of the time.  It is probably my way of adjusting to my growing belly.  I'm beginning to cut my soda intake, and excess carbohydrates because I don't have enough exercise to loosen my weight a bit.  I still haven't come up yet with a new program(exercise)that will suit my bulging belly and my appetite for food.

This week, I suspected that I'll probably experiencing my baby's hiccups for the first time.  Yep, those little jerky motions I feel, his/her way of practicing the important task of breathing.  The baby's brain will begin to grow rapidly and could hear external sounds or movements that may roused her/him from sleep, thus, a sound of loud music or any machineries or even vibrations can stir my baby into activity.  When it happens, Im sure he/she'll roll over, kick and flutter.  These moments are exceptional and may feel a little bit uncomfy when lying on bed, to ease me to falling asleep, I turn on my left side with one leg crossed over the other and a pillow between them.  I find sleeping on my back increases my backache and discomfort.
