active baby.

I am 13w and havent actually felt the baby move (or just don't know what to feel for) but when I get ultrasounds the whole time the baby will be wiggiling around doing flips, crunches, leg lifts, crawling around, we even got lucky and caught a picture of the baby stretching its legs all the way out just chilling for a second til it decided it was time to move again. I would rather have an active baby then a lazy one andi feel its great that it moves so much (even though ii have to go back for another ultrasound ( 3rd ultrasound this month) because it doesn't want to sit still and the way the ultrasound tech needs it to sit to see what she needs to see). What does it mean with so much activity? I know the baby has been moving like this since at least 10 wks (1st ultrasound) does that mean the whole pregnancy will probably be active? Also is that a healthy sign? Oh and will that mean when the baby is born, will it still stay active? Please ask questions if needed!

All the books I've read say especially if you've not had kids its usually 18-22 weks before you can feel them, mine gave me a mashed footprint against my belly last night and for a first time mom, my husband and I were speechless!
