Hello!!!!

Three weeks old today! Happy Birthday to Peyton!!!

First trip in the Baby Bjorn. She slept the whole time. And, Rob was sweating the whole time. We went on a walk and the heat between Rob and Peyton was on extreme. They both were so hot when we got home. It was nice having her bundled up right there in the Bjorn.

Here's a picture of Mommy and Peyton. I was actually showered, dressed and had make up on so I made Rob take a picture of me :) I need to be taking more photos of Peyton and of the family with her. I really don't have that many.

Naptime with Mommy. This is how we sleep at night too. Except she's usually on the other side in between Rob and I. I just had to take a break and give the left side of my body a break.

Things are going really well. Breastfeeding is still a little bit of a challenge. I was reading the What To Expect the First Year and it explains that there are different type of nursers. The first type is barracuda. And, that's what I have on my hands. It says that these babies latch on with avengence and really go to town. It said that the nipple can be sore for a few weeks with a barracuda nurser because the sucking force is so hard. That's the case here. It hurts really bad the first few seconds and then it's fine. I told Rob last night it feels like a really bad purple nurple (titty twister.) Once that period is over then we're fine.

Oh, and I also had my first experience with leaking milk. It was really funny, but felt really weird. Took me by surprise.

That's it for now. Same routine different day. It's funny how you totally lose track of reality when you're home. I have no clue what date it is or anything like that. I just have to remember doctor appointments and social engagements. Other than that it's just like Groundhog day.

Thanks

Thanks for all the information ladies. I really don't know what to do. LLLI says that the vitamins could potentially cause colic. NO THANKS!!! I think Peyton gets plenty of sun and I am not Vitamin D deficient so I'm not sure why the Pediatrician said to give this to her. I guess he just gives it to all of his patients. I think I'm going to wait and get a 2nd opinion on the vitamin thing. We're going to start going to a private Pediatrician so we'll see what they say. If any of you hear anything from anyone about this topic please let me know.

Thanks,

Kelly
