had to write this immediately -- just felt the baby move

i've been waiting very patiently for this... everything and everyone says you don't feel your baby move for the first time until you're 16-22 weeks along. and it's usually 18-20 for first-timers. so, even though i've semi-analyzed every feeling in my tummy for a while now, i didn't expect to feel a thing.

but for the past 30 minutes, sitting here at the computer and watching tv, i've been feeling flutters. they haven't stopped. even as i write, i feel it.

all i could do was call dave to report it, and then write this. and cry a bit.

glad to have something to record this.
