Honestly, though, I can't find any explanation on the Internet about being preggers and getting hiccups!� Although, funny enough, there are tons and tons of search results addressing the fact that [babies are known to get hiccups in utero](http://www.amazingpregnancy.com/pregnancy-articles/358.html) (how adorable!).� I must be the only crazy pregnant lady who doesn't really suffer from the [*common *weird pregnancy side effects](http://life.familyeducation.com/pregnancy/postpartum/50746.html) (i.e. cravings for pickles and ice cream, morning sickness, etc.) and instead makes up her own quirky ones. I have a dr. appointment on Monday, so maybe she can shed some light on my hiccuping situation.� I'll keep you posted.� Until then, I'm off to the Jersey shore this weekend to enjoy some fun in the sun and to model my new [maternity bathing suit from Target](http://www.target.com/Liz-Lange-Target-Tankini-Bottom/dp/B000ITNR3K/601-6257748-7208161?ie=UTF8&node=13866601&frombrowse=1&rh=tgt_1%3AMaternity%202-pc.%20Swimsuits&page=1)! **Oven Timer: **19 weeks, 3 days [more](https://www.littlebabylump.com/blog/bid/219608/What-s-With-All-These-Hiccups) Topics: [shopping](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/shopping), [Bizarre](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/bizarre), [hiccups](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/hiccups), [pregnancy](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/pregnancy), [little baby lump](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/little-baby-lump), [side effects](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/side-effects), [Target](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/target), [pickles](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/pickles), [ice cream](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/ice-cream), [maternity bathing suit](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/maternity-bathing-suit) ## [Hooray For Body Pillows!](https://www.littlebabylump.com/blog/bid/219609/Hooray-For-Body-Pillows) Posted by [Pamela Vaughan](https://www.littlebabylump.com/author/pamela-vaughan) Aug 18, 2008 9:02:44 AM [![](https://www.littlebabylump.com/Portals/188884/Images/caffeine-cartoon.jpg)](http://pregnancy.baby-gaga.com/calendar/week19)So I just got back from a super long walk and, man, am I wiped!� James keeps saying we should go for more walks, and yeah, I know exercise is good for pregnant women, but I'm thinking four miles was a little much. On the bright side, I did make out with a pretty comfy [body pillow](http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?order_num=-1&SKU=13690456&RN=1144) from [Bed Bath & Beyond](http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com), which is going to make sleeping on my side much easier.� My regular-sized pillows just haven't been cutting it lately. In other news, today marks my [19th week](http://pregnancy.baby-gaga.com/calendar/week19), and apparently Baby Lump should be about 10 inches long now.� A little strange considering he/she was only supposed to be six inches last week, but apparently this week is when they start measuring babies with their legs included (before this week, they were only measured from crown-to-rump) - interesting! Enjoy this funny, three-headed baby cartoon from [Baby Gaga](http://baby-gaga.com) until my next post. **Oven Timer: **19 weeks [more](https://www.littlebabylump.com/blog/bid/219609/Hooray-For-Body-Pillows) Topics: [Weekly Updates](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/weekly-updates), [shopping](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/shopping), [little baby lump](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/little-baby-lump), [19 weeks](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/19-weeks), [pregnany](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/pregnany), [Baby-Gaga](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/baby-gaga), [Bed Bath & Beyond](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/bed-bath-beyond), [exercise](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/exercise), [body pillow](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/body-pillow) ## [Maternity Pants: Not JUST for Expecting Mothers ](https://www.littlebabylump.com/blog/bid/219612/Maternity-Pants-Not-JUST-for-Expecting-Mothers) Posted by [Pamela Vaughan](https://www.littlebabylump.com/author/pamela-vaughan) Aug 11, 2008 12:06:52 PM [![](https://www.littlebabylump.com/Portals/188884/Images/old-navy-maternity-jeans.jpg)](http://www.oldnavy.com/browse/category.do?cid=5848)I had a fun little pregnancy milestone today: I broke out and wore my maternity jeans for the first time.� Let me tell you - you've been missing out.� I can't stress how incredibly comfortable maternity pants are. I actually encourage every woman to invest in a pair for the sole purpose of wearing during major food consumption holidays - Thanksgiving, Christmas, the Super Bowl.� Not a huge investment either - I bought mine on sale for only $14.99 at [Old Navy](http://www.oldnavy.com/browse/category.do?cid=5848) (be careful though; not all Old Navy stores have maternity sections).� I bet you it'd be completely worth your money.� No need to unbutton your pants when your waste band stretches to accommodate your growing belly - whether it be full of baby or full or turkey.� Just a thought.

Why do I have a craving for ice cream all of a sudden?� I kid, I kid.� ;o) **Oven Timer: **18 weeks [more](https://www.littlebabylump.com/blog/bid/219612/Maternity-Pants-Not-JUST-for-Expecting-Mothers) Topics: [Weekly Updates](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/weekly-updates), [Milestones](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/milestones), [holidays](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/holidays), [shopping](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/shopping), [pregnancy](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/pregnancy), [little baby lump](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/little-baby-lump), [Old Navy](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/old-navy), [18 weeks](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/18-weeks), [motherhood](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/motherhood), [maternity clothes](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/maternity-clothes) [Previous](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/shopping/page/1) [All posts](https://www.littlebabylump.com/all) Search ### Subscribe by Email ### [![rss](https://www.littlebabylump.com/hs-fs/hub/188884/file-313297286.png?width=34&height=36&name=file-313297286.png)](http://littlebabylump.com/rss.xml)   RSS Feed ### Recent Posts ### Popular Posts ### Posts by Month - [January 2014 (1)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2014/01) - [December 2013 (2)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2013/12) - [November 2013 (3)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2013/11) - [October 2013 (2)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2013/10) - [September 2013 (1)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2013/09) - [January 2011 (1)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2011/01) - [November 2010 (4)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2010/11) - [October 2010 (1)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2010/10) - [September 2010 (2)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2010/09) - [August 2010 (2)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2010/08) - [July 2010 (1)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2010/07) - [June 2010 (2)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2010/06) - [May 2010 (3)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2010/05) - [April 2010 (1)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2010/04) - [March 2010 (1)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2010/03) - [February 2010 (2)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2010/02) - [January 2010 (5)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2010/01) - [December 2009 (3)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2009/12) - [November 2009 (3)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2009/11) - [October 2009 (5)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2009/10) - [September 2009 (6)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2009/09) - [August 2009 (3)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2009/08) - [July 2009 (4)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2009/07) - [June 2009 (6)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2009/06) - [May 2009 (8)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2009/05) - [April 2009 (6)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2009/04) - [March 2009 (8)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2009/03) - [February 2009 (8)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2009/02) - [January 2009 (7)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2009/01) - [December 2008 (7)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2008/12) - [November 2008 (5)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2008/11) - [October 2008 (7)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2008/10) - [September 2008 (8)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2008/09) - [August 2008 (10)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2008/08) - [July 2008 (4)](https://www.littlebabylump.com/archive/2008/07) [See All](https://www.littlebabylump.com/topic/shopping/page/2#)
