Announcing.... Holynd Reece Peterson!

We love our Baby Bean!
She's here! We're so excited. She's beautiful and perfect!



Born: 12-28-08 at 10:56am
Weight: 6lbs 15.8oz
Length: 20 inches



On the 26th, I went in for an Amnio to check her lung maturity. On the 27th, the doctors at University Hospital told us her lung were mature, her weight was awesome and that we needed to come in two hours later to start my induction. (Bean had a few complications they were worried about, so they decided to start me early to check on her.) We were totally surprised and scared. After 19 hours of labor, she's here and she's perfect. She's home with us now. We wouldn't trade her for anything. Even Heckles likes her!

Here are her first few pictures... I'm sure I'll have many more to come!

Enjoy!








As for Holynd's Guessing Game, my sister Tierra was closest on the date and my mom was the closest on the weight! So.... I guess they can treat themselves to some chocolate or something!

They're going to start inducing me this afternoon and hopefully by tomorrow our little Bean will be here! We're so excited! And a little nervous! (Well, I'm A LOT nervous, they think Bean is close to 8lbs! I wonder where she got those genes!)

Just... Wake me when it's over!

Just wake me when the pregnancy is over, finals are over, winter is over...etc.
I quit!

So, we've been "Blogger Slackers" lately.... Between school, work, Bean preparation, hospital visits, Ultrasound visits and Christmas decorating... We've been a little sidetracked! Bean likes to keep us on our toes by scaring us every couple of days. I guess she has to entertain herself somehow! I think it might be because when I stress... I eat everything in sight, so she gets lots of fun treats! Anyway, here are some pictures of what we've been up to! ENJOY!



This is a notice to Bean. You have 30 days to pay or vacate. Since I'm pretty sure you don't have a job or a means of income for rent, we're going to need you to vacate. Sorry!




We put Christmas lights up on our little deck! We learned quickly that you always test the lights before putting them up. Matt got the lights all put up and then realized that half of them didn't work. We ended up having to take them down, return them and then put the new ones back up again. Don't worry though, Matt insisted on taking them out of the box at Wal-Mart and unplugging half their Christmas displays in order to test them before we left the store.





Heckles refused to stay inside while Matt put the Christmas lights up. He was a big help by sticking his head through the bars and barking at nothing.



Matt got Bean's carseat a couple of days ago! She's going to be so cute in it! I hope we can figure out how to put it in my car!



So Heckles was really excited when we took the carseat out of the box.... 'cause he wanted to live in the box. He slept in there for about a week and then started to chew on the flaps. I finally got sick of having box pieces everywhere and threw it away. He was a little upset.



This is our last year with just to stockings on our mantel! Next year Bean will need one!



Here is our Christmas tree! I put it up the day before Thanksgiving against Matt's pleas. When he's big and pregnant, he can decide when we put our Christmas tree up!



So I decided that the dog needed his own Christmas tree... It had these cute ornaments on it, but he ate them. So now he just has his stocking on it and a "Mistle-Toad" for his tree topper. He likes to bury his treats behind it.



This is our little Christmas table setting! We haven't been able to eat at our table since I put it up, but I'm too pregnant to cook anyway!

So, we're patiently (Ok... Not very patiently) waiting for our little Bean to arrive! I'm completely out of room for her, so I hope she makes her appearance in the next couple of weeks! We'll post pictures as soon as she comes! (Especially since we've learned after a few trips to the hospital how boring it can be! We'll have a laptop close by!)

84 days and counting!!!!!!

So, my due date is in 84 days.... Sometimes it seems close and other times it seems so far away!!!! The dr finally gave me something (besides a gallon of milk and 7 tums a day) for my heartburn, which has been heavenly! It's made it a little bit easier to sleep at night. Now if he could just give me something for my "elephant feet/cankles/sausage toe" syndrome.

Bean is moving around like crazy. She really enjoys keeping me up all night long. She especially likes to put her little feet-sies under my rib cage. (My right bottom rib is pretty much completely numb.) She jumps when Matt's alarm goes off in the morning and even when the dog barks. Matt and I like to put Skittles on my tummy when she's really active and watch her kick them off!

Matt's still trying to paint the nursery in his "spare time" and he's starting to get used to my crazy mood swings. He's even gotten to be quite the cook. (As long as I'm in the living room giving him step-by-step instructions.)

We bought Bean her first stuffed animal!!!!! We call her Pei-Pei. She a piggie ballerina!!!! I decided I wanted to do Bean's room in a ballerina theme. So when I saw the pig at Target, I couldn't resist! Anyway, I've been reluctant to post a belly picture 'cause I feel HUGE lately! But since it's getting so close to the end, I figure I might want the memory someday! I also had to post a picture of Pei-Pei and Bean's "Homecoming" outfit. (I found the outfit at Carter's in Park City. It's been one of my baby clothes store so far! Alissa gave us the blanket and than I found the accessories at Target.)

Matt and I have been taking mid-terms the last couple of weeks! I took my last one today! I have no idea how it happened, but I had three in one week. It was a little bit stressful and Matt had a very unhappy pregnant wife for a few days. I'm so glad this week is over! I've also arranged to take all my finals early so that nothing can get in the way if Bean makes an early appearance. (But not too early Bean!)
