Fun and games with the baby

My weekly email from Baby Centre said that the baby could see light better this week and would likely be able to respond to outside touch.  A friend had already told me about shining the flashlight on your belly and trying to get the baby to touch it but I didn't know that you could try to get the baby to tap back in response to taps on the belly.  I've been trying it over the past few days and have been having tons of fun!  It's probably totally a coincidence that the baby has been moving after I tap my belly or move the flashlight around but it's so neat that I want to believe that we are interacting.  Scott tried the flashlight tonight for the first time and got a huge kick in response.  The baby is getting much stronger at moving around and kicking - the movements are starting to becoming much more visible from the outside.  This is a nice new part of pregnancy (which is good because I've been cursing the baby alot lately for causing all this nasty heartburn and rib pain...)
