Payton's first few weeks

Payton,

The first night home was not very good. You were up for about 3 hours in the night. You hated being on your back in the pack and play. Which is weird since you were in the hospital. I had to literally hold your paci in your mouth to keep you from crying. Long. Night. 

We decided the next night to keep you in the swing and you did much better! We spent Saturday playing with Brody and adoring and holding you! It was a great day!!! Your big brother sure loves you! He loves holding you and being around you. He brought you blankies and paci's to help soothe you. Its so sweet. Sunday, you got your first bath. You were not so much a fan! :)

Monday, May 5, was your first doctors appointment. It went well. You weigh 7.7 pounds and are 20 in. long. Since you lost 7 ounces we will go back on Friday to check your weight again. This week Nana was here. She helped us so much! You were loved on and held a lot! We also did your newborn pictures on Wednesday and you did great!

This week you have had some big spit ups! We asked the dr and she said just watch it. You are eating great! I think maybe you get too full or you have some reflux. You are very gassy and burp and toot a lot so I think sometimes your belly hurts! On Friday, you were 7 pounds 11 ounces and the doctor was pleased with your gain!

The next week Lolly came. Again, she was a great help! You were loved on and held a lot again :) Its so hard not to! :) You sleep well in the swing so that is what we are doing now. You are having very large spit ups and still some more tummy issues. So I called the doctor Thursday. They didnt call back. ON Friday you ahd blood coming from your belly button so I just stopped by the doctor to ask. They had you come in. We have to put alcohol in your belly button to have it dry up and we got you some Zantac for your belly. Hopefully it will help!

We went to a few stores for some things. It was probably too soon, so we probably wont do that for a while. On Saturday, Lolly took Brody to Amarillo and on Monday we went to pick him up. He sure missed you! It seems like so long ago that you arrived, yet just yesterday. It has been a blast and we are so glad you are here! Love you baby girl!
