baby movement at 18 weeks

This is my first pregnancy and I am 18 weeks. I actually didn't find out I was pregnant until the 15th week but ever since then I can always feel the baby move positions! Anyhow yesterday I didn't feel it move at all until late 8pm and I am concern if that is normal or not? Today it has been moving like crazy all day but yesterday there was zero movements for most of the whole day........

I wouldn't be too concerned, some women are lucky and can feel their babies move early.  But, most don't feel the baby until 20+ weeks (especially in first pregnancies because you don't know what you are feeling for and it can feel like gas).  Babies are still very small at 18 weeks, and really cushioned in amniotic fluids.  Your last trimester is when you start counting movements/kicks... and at that point you can just drink some juice and your baby will kick you in the ribs...lol :)
