Getting kicked

The baby has been kicking up a storm for the past few weeks. He doesn't seem to be quite as active as I remember Mara being, but it could just be that I'm more used to the kicks and movements this time around. Finally, last Sunday at 23 weeks, John finally felt a kick.

The baby loves to start kicking away when Mara sits on my lap, so I tell her that her little brother is kicking her. Yesterday, he was being really active while I was standing in the kitchen, so I placed her hand on my belly and he gave a really hard kick (or maybe it was a punch). She was so excited to finally feel him. I wonder what her reaction will be when she can start seeing him move.
