Baby kicking higher than uterus measures?

St

I’m almost 26 weeks. Did you ever see kicks higher than your uterus was measuring? My doctor swears my uterus is 2-3 inches above my bellybutton, but I always see her kick a few inches higher than that. Is that normal? My stomach is also very hard in those places, but I also trust that my doctor knows what he’s doing when measuring me.
