Peyton Update

So, I know its been FOREVER since I posted last. We've been super busy since Peyton came home from the hospital, but we are still alive and well! :) Peyton is doing a lot better now, but unfortunately he is not an easy baby! He's pretty colicky, and doesn't sleep well a lot of the time, so he likes to keep me busy walking him around the house. He still has the reflux, and is on meds for it, but they only seem to help some of the time. I've been able to nurse him full time though, so he doesn't need to take a bottle anymore, and he does pretty well with it. He still spits up a lot, but not anymore than he did with the bottles. He's a sweetheart though, and is starting to smile at us a little, and when he does it makes all of the hard times with him totally worth it! Sadie's doing really well adjusting to life with a new brother, especially considering he takes a significant amount of attention away from her. She loves Peyton to death and can't get enough of him. She calls him her Baby Peyton Brother. Sadie has her moments, but is really a good girl and is doing really well with it all. And I'm doing well also. My recovery from the c-section was surprisingly easy and fast. I've felt really well, just super tired since I'm up at night with Peyton a LOT! Tanner's been a huge help to me and does such a great job picking up my slack when it comes to taking care of the house and Sadie. Its always really nice when he's home and I don't have to do it all by myself. Thanks Honey! :) Anyway, we're doing well, considering. We have good days and bad days, and are just still trying to learn what works and what doesn't. Hopefully as the days and weeks pass we will start to have more and more good days and less bad! We so appreciate everyone's support and prayers for us when Peyton was in the NICU and we'll try to keep up the the blog as we have the time! Thanks

Hey Katie, my brother-in-law's dad is a chiropractor. He does adjustments on babies and it totally helps with the colic problems. My sister had him adjust all her babies when they were Peyton's age. Anyway, just a thought.

Thanks for sharing the pictures. I hope you get more sleep soon!
