15 Week Update

We hit a huge milestone this week! I am pretty sure I felt Peanut move for the first time. I have heard these early movements called flutters, but here's how I describe them. Think back to your childhood days. Whenever you saw a fountain, you asked your mom or dad for a penny to toss in the fountain. I feel like there is a little kid in my belly dropping pennies into the fountain, and when the penny hits the water, I feel the ripples it makes. I am not 100% sure that it's Peanut moving, but I do know it's a feeling I hadn't felt so far.

I've also been shopping for maternity pants for fall. Although I've only gained two or three pounds, none of my regular pants fit.

We checked out an in-home daycare provider this week. The woman has been doing daycare in her home for about 15 years. It is obvious that she knows what she is doing and puts a ton of time and energy into her work with the children. She only takes five children at a time, and she has tons of games, toys, crafts, puppets, etc. for them to do. We are meeting with a second provider this week, and then we will make our decision.

Here is a 15-week belly picture.
