Where do you feel your baby moving most?

Title of the post says it all.  =D  I'm wondering for those of you far enough along to feel a decent amount of kicks and squiggles or those who've had babies already, where you felt it most.  Also, if you haven't already told me a million times, what is the sex of your baby?  =D  Yes, this is another 'lame' attempt to guess at the sex of my baby.  =D  I can't help it tho!  I love data gathering and 'experiments'.  =D

Most of the time, I feel movements around and slightly above my belly button area, but when I'm sitting at the computer desk, I get the occasional poke at my ribs.  Also, I occasionally feel some swirly squiggles *very* low ...makes me feel like I have to pee!  lol  My mom says I look like I'm carrying high ...but I can't tell if the movements I feel are considered "high" or not.  DH agrees that I'm carrying high ...I seriously just can't tell.  >.>

im 38 weeks tomorrow with my 3rd boy. I feel a lot of movements above my belly button and a lot of movements below, I can feel him rubbing a elbow or hand across my hip bones, which isn't all that comfy.

Im carrying low with this baby. I carried high with the other 2 boys, and felt them move at the top only. This is the first baby I carried low with, and the first one I have felt movement way below the belly button.

I'm almost 26 weeks ...so I feel movements when I'm sitting, standing, laying down, etc.  lol  S/he can really get movin' sometimes!  =D  When I first noticed movements, they were little swirls and flutters low and near my pubic bone.  But, like I mentioned above, the majority now is near my belly button.  =D

I am carrying high and having a girl.  I am 20 weeks today.  I feel the baby move around in the middle of my stomach but when I feel her kick it is down low, just above my pubic  bone.  I had thought before that I felt her kicking in my rib cage, but I think it was just muscle spasms, because now that I can feel her kicking I know that wasn't it.  I don't know how far along you are, but I notice the kicks more when I lay down, so try that and see what happens.
