Baby Fun

Every night between 10-11 pm Jordan & I lay in bed and watch baby girl move all around. It is so fun! We like to tease her but last night it made us wonder if she is going to come out hating us!?! HA.

Anyways, usually we just put music on my belly and watch her squirm to it, sometimes we like to poke her and watch her move to the other side and then poke her again! Last night we tried something new. We put a flashlight on my belly and boy did she kick! It was hilarious and strong so naturally we did it again and so did she!

So every week it seems like I have a new symptom. Seriously it makes me feel crazy! But lately its been heart burn! Oh joy! Tums have seriously become my best friend. They go every where with me. They sleep next to me on my night stand so I can quickly reach over and grab them at 3:30 am. Seriously, I have never had heartburn before....I thought it was just for Dad's (because my dad always has had them) but now I know..... I also had NO idea that Tums would work so fast. It's simply amazing!

We are so excited to meet her!! Only 8 short weeks left!!!

30 Weeks

30 Weeks- May28th, 2011

I just took this picture on Saturday! I can't believe that I am 30 weeks and we only have 10 more weeks! Time is flying! We are getting more excited everyday! Especially with the arrival of my sister Stefanie's little Lucas on Saturday morning! I am so excited that she will have a cousin that is only 10 weeks older than her.

Lucas Ryan Ward- born May 28th, 2011

Some fun facts:

• I am feeling really good!



• Last night we were able to see my entire stomach move when baby girl was squirming. It was so cool!



• Baby girl P is really active in the morning & at night. We wonder if she will end up being like her parents and being a night owl?!??



• We went to the U2 concert last week and she rocked out in my belly the entire time. LOVED it
  


• I still don't have specific cravings, I am just hungry ALL THE TIME!!!



• We have our crib and stroller ready!



• I can't stop buying girl clothes



• Jordan is still the BEST husband and baby daddy I could have asked for!



• I/We are not at all nervous for labor! Actually we are just excited!



• I am having 2 baby showers in June! I am so excited!!!



• Life is good but we can tell it will even be better with our baby girl
  

First Time Parents.....Moment 1

We bought our stroller the other day because it was on sale plus I had gift cards. When we were at the store picking it out it was SO easy to fold up, take the car seat in and out etc. Well, when we got home it was a totally different story! Jordan and I tried for 20+ min to get the car seat out of the base! I wish I could have recorded it because we must have looked like complete morons! We finally found the BIG ORANGE release button and got the car seat out. Good times. After we put the stroller together we had fun walking it around our house (I know we are total dorks) I am sure that this is just the first of many, many more first time parent moments!

Keep us in your prayers! Haha!

Moving......

Our baby girl is moving all around! Its so fun to feel her kick, punch, roll and feel whatever else she is doing in there. Jordan is finally able to feel her which is fun for me and him! The other night we turned on Pandora and put the I-phone up to my belly....she went crazy! Loved it! I can also poke where she has just kicked and she responds. Its so fun!

For the most part I am feel completly fine! I still have some random days here and there but I can't complain! I can still wear all of my clothes but can't button up the pants....awesome! Thank you Belly Band! But I am sure in a few weeks even my pants won't be comfy.

I can't wait to see what the next few weeks bring and how I change. We are flying to SC in a few weeks for my sisters wedding and hoping the plane ride is smooth because when I flew home from CA a few weeks ago the ride was very turbulant and made me pretty sick! I had to keep my head down for 2 hours and pray that I wouldn't throw-up on the plane! Luckily I made it!

It's been really fun buying baby girl clothes and other stuff! I can't help myself! There is just so many cute things out there!!!

It's a.............

I just laughed thru the entire ultra-sound. But we couldn't be more excited!!

When we got into the ultra-sound room we told the tech we were still unsure if we were going to find out. She said OK and started the scan well...........the first shot was of baby girl Peine's legs....Jordan looked at me and said there's nothing there....I said nope....the tech said no there's not.....we said it's a girl...the tech confirmed. It was actually really fun to find out. My mind has been going crazy with color schemes all day!

Baby girl was so cute covering her face with her one arm (she has two arms don't worry) the entire time. The tech & doc. had to make her move a few times because she was being so squirmy (no thanks to the orange juice & sip of diet coke I had before the ultra-sound. oops!)

We cannot wait until AUGUST! Yea for summer babies!

Crazy things happen when you are pregnant......

I went to my third drs. appointment today! I love those things because you get to hear the heart beat! It's just such a relief. I started feeling fluttering back on the 25th...love it! Its not constant and I have to being pretty still to feel it but its really fun. I can't wait for Jordan to be able to feel the baby move. The dr. said that I should really start feeling it in a few weeks!

I am definitely started to have more good days than bad days, but when a bad day hits I can't seem to remember the good day and vice versa! Good thing I have lots of amazing women in my life to tell me I completely normal when all these random things start happening to me! Like...when all of the sudden I have developed a gag reflex...and I gag on air.....AWESOME! There is just so much more but really, you don't want to read about it on here!

Next week is our big ultra-sound. I am excited to see the baby and make sure that baby P is healthy! I am also interested to see if we will find out or not! PINK or BLUE??? Today as we listened to the heart beat the doc said...I can tell you right now that its a girl......but then he said he always wrong half of the time! The heart rate was at 165. I know there are all those myth's about if the heartbeat is fast its a girl if its slow its a boy! I told Jordan that we are going to need pre-child counseling if it is a girl!! So much to look forward too!

As far as showing.....well I can definitely tell. We have been really bad about taking weekly photos....in fact, we haven't taken one! The good news is...I haven't gained any weight! Amazing because when I'm not pregnant I can snack on carrots and eat tofu and gain 5 lbs in a week! Maybe its because sweets really do make me sick....it must be true what they say don't eat sweets if you want to lose weight. I still want sweets however.....

I can't believe that I am almost halfway thru with this pregnancy! I can't wait to see what the next half holds.....or can I?!?!?

Feeling Much Better

It's like some switch was flipped at 14 weeks! I am feeling so much better! I have only had to take 2 pills this week....to me that is a victory!! I have to eat as soon as I feel hungry and that seems to help. We had our 2nd Dr's appt. on Friday. All is looking and sounding well. We are set to have our ultra-sound on March 17th. Now here is the million dollar question:

To find out or to not find out?!?!

I still hate onions and tomato's but am able to eat pretty much anything else. Except sweets. Here's hoping that the rest of the 25 weeks goes great!!!

And since it's Valentines Day I will give a shout out to my wonderful husband! Who literally will & does anything & everything for me! I love you baby daddy!!!
