18 weeks: first movements

Late last night I had to wake a sound asleep Jeff because I finally felt the movement of a little human inside of me (a little creepy). Rousing Jeff from sleep does not usually elicit such a positive response, but he put his hand on my stomach and was as excited as I was to feel the little bugger for the first time.

What seemed to be a single dance step inside of me turned into what I can only describe as a full reenactment of Saturday Night Fever. He/she danced around for over two hours, keeping me awake. I guess this is the first of more than a couple of nights we'll spend without an optimum amount of sleep.
