Kicking, Moving, or Punching...

I have finally felt the baby moving.  I have been looking forward to this from the beginning.  They say that with your first baby it's hard to distinguish gas from the baby's movement.  But I remember the exact moment that I felt this little one move.  I was in a morning meeting at school and I felt this little movement in my lower stomach...and then again.  I dismissed it as gas because it didn't feel like "butterflies" like all the books had told me.  It felt more like when you get a muscle spasm.  Well, the next day I felt it again.  And on Sunday I felt it more.  Each day I felt baby move more and more.  I don't know what he's doing in there, but it seems fun.  It's hard for me to concentrate when baby starts moving because I just want to stop and enjoy the moment.  Chad still can't feel it, but I assure him that something is going on down there.  What a wonderful feeling!!!
