I'm almost 27 weeks now, and there's been a noticeable increase in strength of movements in just the last two weeks. I've felt baby for just over 10 wks now but I'm just starting to get feet in the ribs and all that. I only work 3 days a week but even when I was at home sitting down I couldn't feel baby very often and figured (s)he was sleeping. At about 23 weeks my baby was very quiet during the day for the most part, and was more noticeably active at night. I experienced nearly the same thing that you are, and all is well in my world:) Enjoy!

At the moment baby won't have a pattern until after 28 weeks (when you start counting kicks and recording patterns), for now baby will still sleep most of the time or still be able to find spots you can't feel so well.
then finally when you feel then a lot you hit 33 - 34 weeks and the movements won't be as powerful as they run out of room replacing kicks for rolls.
Of course for real assurance or if you feel there is something wrong head straight to your Dr.
I don't think I will ever stop obsessing over her movements so I've read a lot into it lol You'll soon learn little tricks to get her moving you reassure you.
