Karate Kid?

Christie has been feeling our little girl squirm around now for a couple of weeks. It wasn't until this last week that I felt her first kick. At first it was a slight push, but within the last few days it has turned into a full scale karate kick.

She seems to become active at night right before Christie goes to bed. We figure that through out the day she is rocked back and forth to sleep by Christie's constant movement, but come night time she is ready to party!

For me, it's an amazing feeling that she is able to respond to me as I place my hand on Christie's belly. I apply slight pressure and WHAM! -- she pushes against my hand. There is no turning back (not that I would want to if we could) -- she wants to connect with me. She responds to me. I love her already.
