Shortie's on the move

I've been able to feel Shortie's movements for six or seven weeks now, and we've been enjoying watching my stomach jump, and getting the baby to kick when we poke my tummy. This morning we entered a new phase of baby movement. Those who know me well know that I'm a sleeper. I don't like to wake up in the morning, and even though the alarm goes off at 6:05, I just CAN'T pull myself out of bed until around 6:25 (on a good day). Even if I'm "awake," I have to lounge around for awhile before getting up. Conveniently, I have a little baby to keep me company (since my husband shoots out of bed when the alarm goes off!). This morning, I looked down at my stomach, and it was not the nice round shape I've come to know. It looked like a mountain, and the peak was not in the middle, but to the right of my belly button. When I reached down, I felt a butt or a head. It was crazy. By the time I managed to drag myself out of bed, Shortie was back in a more "normal" position.
