Yesterday, we had a brain candy evening at home. Monster-in-Law was available on-demand, and although this may be damning with faint praise, it is probably J-Lo’s best movie. (Not that I’ve actually seen enough to merit having an opinion.)

Toward the end of the movie, I felt a funny, slight rhythmic movement down where Smudge hangs out, and after a moment, I realized I was feeling him hiccupping!

"Jill! Feel this!"  I grabbed her hand and put it on my belly. "Do you feel that???"

"I feel…something."

"He’s hiccupping! Lil Smudge has the hiccups!"

We still can’t actually see him moving around in there, but it is so exciting to feel him moving around more and more. And very NEW thing we feel or see raises our excitement to fever pitch.

Plus, what’s not to love about a movie where Jane Fonda asks Jennifer Lopez if, rather than marrying her son, wouldn’t Jennifer rather be a pregnant lesbian? (And somehow, the dialogue doesn’t actually come off as being homophobic.)

All in all, a lovely evening. Which completed a lovely day where I ate an amazing and delicious gala apple and roughly a cup of roasted brussels sprouts.
