Movement

I'm convinced my baby knows her dad isn't here !! (He started new job today after being home for 2 weeks) .. & he usually wakes up & talks to my belly .. & since he isn't here and hasn't done it she's kicking & turning like crazy !! Like she's angry lol .. I'm actually enjoying it because I haven't felt her in two days .. But is this really what it takes to move for mommy?
