punches & kicks

I'm curious as to how others are experiencing kicks & punches.  Do you feel them at two ends or one end?  Frequently throughout the day?  For a long time or just short bursts? etc, etc.

I have been feeling them more frequently and all over the place.  One minute she is on one side of my tummy and the next she is on the other.  She moves so much during one day that the next she must be tuckered out because she barely moves!  I LOVE watching her move! I cannot wait til she gets here!

I sometimes feel them in only one area and other times I can feel both the feet and hands making mvmts all over the place. Also if he is acting overly fiesty I will feel the mvmts in my stomach and then my back. Those ones hurt. Ouch!
He also can kick the TV remote control off of my belly which I think is a hoot. Both Daddy and his big sister can see his mvmts now as well as feel them.
Gavin has a pretty set schedule of wake up times. So I know when the kicking/punching is going to start up. I also know when he is quiet that it is sleepy time for him.

Punches and kicks...I have been getting the snot beat outta me since about 15 weeks by my lil guy, lol! He is ACTIVE! Sometimes I swear it's like he's trying to jump out of my stomach.
I sometimes feel the kicks and punches in one place, and other times I feel them in so many places all over my abdomen that I wonder how just one baby can be making so many movements in so many places (and I'm 99.9% certain there is only one baby in there...).
I feel movements throughout the day AND night...basically, every time I make a movement, he starts moving around, so in the middle of the night, if I roll over or get up to go to the bathroom, he wakes up and starts moving around for up to half an hour, but usually it only lasts for 5-10 minutes before he falls back to sleep.
Sometimes I feel him rolling around in there for very long periods of time, and other times, it's just little jabs and rolls that I feel for only a second or two, then he'll be still for another few minutes, then make another little movement, then be still again for a short time, and so on...so he's not asleep, he's just not doing gymnastics (thankfully).
I'm at 27 weeks this week, and he's grown enough now that he is just under my ribs, so I've been getting the full-out abdominal beatings, lol...and the rib and bladder kicks are what hurt the most!
