calming hands

Alex usually has this calming effect on our baby, when he puts his hands on my belly she usually calms down and kicks less/softer.  Yesterday however, she was doing somersaults in there and was moving and kicking pretty hard even when Alex put his hands on my stomach.  He was so surprised when he felt how hard she was kicking!  After a while she did calm down a little but it was pretty intense for a while.  I'm thankful that overall Alex has a calming effect on the baby =)
