Hiccups

For a couple of weeks now the baby has been getting the hiccups every day. For a while they happened at the same time each day but now they are random. It is so weird when it happens and some times it can be distracting (like while I am sitting in a meeting). The hiccups remind me that there is something living inside of me! It can be a very frightening thought some times. How has this time gone by so fast?
