How to get the first sentence from the first paragraph?

 <h2>Test</h2>
 <p class="preserve">
      Morbi in sem quis dui placerat ornare. Pellentesque odio nisi. Euismod in pharetra a, diam.
 </p>
 <p class="preserve">
      Morbi in sem quis dui placerat ornare. Pellentesque odio nisi. Euismod in pharetra a, diam.
 </p>

My regex take all the sentences from the first and the second paragraph.
