Hiccups?

My whole pregnancy I've been wondering if the baby would get the hiccups. Low and behold, several times in the last couple weeks (including right now as i write this) i've been experiencing what I can only assume is the hiccups. It's a rhythmic kicking feeling. Quite funny really. In my head I imagine the noise that would go with them (*hic*).

Also, my belly is so big that it's hard for me to wash the dishes. Note here how far away from the sink I am and the awkward lean to my back I as stretch to reach the faucet for rinsing... Maybe that means I'll get to relinquish my dish duty.
