How to Survive Hiccups

The other night you had hiccups for the first time. A little strange considering it was in me and I wasn't the one with hiccups.But as your Daddy said "You are really going to hate them you you get out!" Since most likely this will be the case you thought we'd give you a top ten list of things you could do to cure your hiccups.

Top Ten Ways to Cure Hiccups

1. Take a deep, long breath and hold it for 10 seconds and then let it out slowly. Repeat 2-3 times.
2. Drink a whole glass of water without stopping and plug your nose. (First need to work on holding a glass to get this one done)
3. Drink a glass of water upside down. (Your dad claims this one works, has yet to work for me)
4. Take a spoonful of sugar and stick the spoon in your mouth. Suck on the spoon of sugar for 5 seconds and than take a sip of water.
5. Have someone scary you.
6. Drink a 1/2 teaspoon of pickle juice every 7-10 seconds until Hiccups stop. (You might want gum or mints on hand after this one)
7. Smell vinegar for 10 seconds. (This might burn your nasal cavity. Just warning you)
8. Suck in your stomach for 10 seconds and release very quickly. Repeat as needed.
9. Lay down facing up on a large, flat, and even surface. Stay down for 2-5 minutes.
10. Lean your head back. Put a penny on your forehead and wait till they go away.

Honestly, I am sure a lot of it is just waiting for the hiccups to runs its course but you are more than welcome to see if they work. Just like the Calvin and Hobbs comic said, I am sure a lot of these methods are for the entertainment of others. 

Love you,

Guppy!!
     Hi!!! Your mom and I are way excited for you to get here! You will arrive in about 11 weeks! We are trying to get everything ready for your arrival. Just want to let you know how excited we are for you to come. We love you so much and are just waiting for you to get here so we can hold you and see you!
     Your last doctors appointment went well. We heard your heart beat and it was strong as ever. The doctor said that your heart was healthy and that you were doing real good. Your mom is tired a lot because your getting heavier and moving around a lot, which sometimes keeps her up at night. However, keep growing and develop well and we will see you when you get here!
    Your mom posted a song from Veggie Tales, it is about cheeseburgers. Mainly because that is what she has been craving since the second trimester. The first trimester was Mexican food. Now that you are getting closer the craving is still cheeseburgers. So your mom posted that song to remind you that is what you wanted for the majority of the time you were developing!
     Know that we love you and are way excited for you to be here in 11 weeks! Or in about 2 and a half months. We will try our best to be good parents, but it is our first time so you might have to be patient with us because we are learning what is going on! Love you mucho, mucho!!
Love, Papa!
