He's quite the mover and shaker...

Times of day (and night) that baby moves around most:
He tends to move most when I'm awake and moving around and after I eat. He loves to rustle around down there - I get quite a kick out of it!

More things that seem to trigger baby's movement:
He definitely responds most to spicy, cold and sweet foods. He also tends to respond to my movement - such as when I exercise.

I've actually recognized baby's body parts moving and pushing against my belly (cool!):

He has been head down for most of the pregnancy at this point... so I can tell when his feet push up against my ribs or his hands move around in my lower abdomen. I am starting to be able to feel his elbows and knees as well.

When the term Braxton Hicks entered my vocabulary:

I have some times when I think these mild contractions might be happening... but they aren't very strong. I don't really feel the cramping sensation that was described so much as tightness in my abdomen.
