Joy vs Frustration

I started feeling fetus movements, i.e. kicking and punching, about a week ago. It was amazing that you can actually feel Olive's movements but at the same time it was also very frustrating. Olive tends to kick when I try to fall asleep...it has been extremely hard to fall asleep while someone kept kicking you non-stop. Olive is also fairly active hours after I consume food. According to the book I read, in order to encourage baby movements, drink a glass of orange juice will do the trick. This is because the sugar content of the juice will cause a spike of energy on the mother's body and hence on the fetus as well. But if you ask me, I think a bowl of yummy ice-cream works better.
