yea, its normal. When i bought my car i was freaking out cuz when i stopped moving the temp went above the middle line (i forget the actual number). I swapped out the thermostat and it was still doing it. I also flushed out the coolant. Anyway, its normal, atleast thats what people told me when i posted this same thread.
