Squirmy squirming

I think I am finally getting to the fun part of pregnancy. I felt the baby move last week. While sitting down at work or at home I had felt some little "bumps" and wondered if that could be the baby moving. Then after a long night shift I was lying in bed and felt a big bump in my belly. My initial reaction was to get mad at Michael, who was sleeping beside me, for elbowing me in stomach. And then I realized... that wasn't Michael. And then I freaked out. It is kind of like when you find a spider on you and you have that "Aah! Get it off!" reaction. I was so creeped out by there being a person inside of me. But then I realized that I love that little person and I very much want it to be inside of me. Now I think it's really cool. It makes my pregnancy seem more real. He (Michael and I both have a strong feeling that it is a boy, so we call it he) moves all the time now. Whenever I am sitting still I can feel the little bumps of him moving around. I'm only 17 weeks so I am surprised that I can feel the baby so early, especially since this is my first pregnancy. Michael keep putting his hand on my belly to feel it but I think it's going to be awhile before he can. Good squriming, Squirmy!
