I feel like I'm a punching bag lol but it's ok it's worth it

That sounds like no fun.. I'm not sure how to get her to sleep so that you can other than just waiting her out :/

do they enjoy doing this to us ?

same I feel like sleeping at night won't be an option for long she's just getting really big and I'm very petite

My baby girl always starts kicking the most when I lay down for bed I either try to sleep through it or wait till she falls back asleep then I sleep.

use a flash light. i heard that will stop them from moving. they can see the light. well this is what I've been told. just put it against your belly
