Peyton is FOUR Weeks Old!

Little Miss Peyton is 4 weeks old today! Time sure is going by quickly! Peyton has a doctor's appointment on Friday, so I am excited to get an update on her weight and length! She is still wearing newborn clothes, but the ones with feet are getting a tiny bit tight and it is tough for Peyton if fully stretch out her legs.
We are currently working on getting into a routine- right now bedtime is anywhere between 8:30 and 10:00pm. She will wake up somewhere between 1 and 3am to nurse, then again around 5am & 8am. Sometimes I can get her to go back to bed until 10:30 or 11:00am which is really nice- but sometimes we stay awake after our morning feedings. Hopefully soon we can cut out one of the middle of the night feedings... hopefully.
Peyton is convinced that she is always hungry and will tell anyone who will listen all about it. During the day she will nurse every hour if I let her (and sometimes I do... is that bad??)... she doesn't take very many naps during the day and if she does they are very quick... most of my days are spent nursing or holding her.... as you can imagine I don't accomplish much around the house... oh well!
We had the chance to visit with lots of family members this week which Peyton thoroughly enjoyed- she loves being held and telling everyone how hungry she is! :)
Check back on Friday for an update after her appointment!

Those babies sure don't let you get a lot done, but they are so precious and get more and more fun as they grow!
