Baby Peigh in Motion

We've been waiting for some time now to feel the baby move. Sources suggest a mother should feel the baby move in the womb any time between week 16 and 20. Today we begin week 19. Needless to say, we have been anticipating this moment for some time now. Most difficult has been differentiating between a significant movement and indigestion. I know, it seems a bit crude - discerning child from gas - but it is a very important experience to note. In addition to being an exciting bench mark in any pregnancy, the date a child is first felt moving in the womb can help doctors and midwives pinpoint the projected due date with greater accuracy. So it was with overwhelming enthusiasm that Pilar called me on Friday afternoon with news that her office had been consumed by spontaneous laughter when suddently she felt something new - completely unlike gas - within her womb. Baby Peigh is officially in motion.

A New Feature: Flicker

I am excited to introduce a new feature here at “ThreePeighs.” So that you may enjoy a random selection of pictures from our “ever expanding family,” a “flicker badge” is now located in the right hand column of this page beneath the “Archives” list. By clicking on the images that rotate in the badge, you will be whisked away to a photo album of our family. Periodically we will add pictures of Pilar as the weeks continue to roll by in our pregnancy. In addition, you may find a random selection from recent trips, friends and the like. I hope you enjoy this snapshot into our lives! Continue to check in for more updates!

A look into week 17

It has been a few weeks since we have submitted a post. Life seems to have gotten pretty busy in the month of August. We are looking forward to things slowing down a bit in September (yeah right!). Nonetheless, we wanted post a picture from around week 17. Not sure how noticable it might be, but to date Pilar has gained approximately five pounds. This picture was taken outside the "Common Man" resturant in Merrimack, NH in celebration of our one year anniversary on August 14th. What a year! Over dinner we fondly remembered our wedding day and all the people who made it so wonderful! We are so blessed by your friendship.

On a different note, Pilar is not as sick any more. Thankfully this means we can go grocery shopping again!
