Baby kicking much more and harder in the morning

Hi mommies, I am in week 26. I notice my baby has bigger movement and have hard kicks in the morning the moment I am awake… I feel gentler kicks throughout the day.. I start wondering if , does baby know when I am awake? Otherwise how is he so active when I wake up in the morning. 😅 I am curious to know as I am a late sleeper, I hope my sleep do not affect my baby’s sleep or development 🙃 #firsttimemom #firstmom #firstbaby
