I can't believe it has been 3 weeks already! In some ways it seems like a lifetime, but in other ways it seems like it was just yesterday. Labor seems like a distant memory and Peyton seems like she has been in our lives forever. What did we ever do without her? She is such a good baby. She has her own schedule, but we are adapting (as is she). She has started having about a 6 hour stretch between feedings at night, so we are definitely enjoying that! She usually only gets up around 3am and then at 6 or 7. During the day she eats every 2-4 hours and sleeps most of the rest of the time. She is rarely fussy (only when she is awakened from a deep sleep or evening times). We are truly blessed with a really good baby.
Scott is being an awesome dad too. He has had band camp this week and he has pretty much taken over when he gets home. He gets up with her and changes her in the middle of the night and then brings her to me. He is also in charge of bathtime...they both love it! As we speak he is reclining in his chair with Jake on one side and Peyton on the other! What a cute picture!
Grandma & Grandpa Maack were here for a few days after she was born and were a great help at the hospital, at home, and with Peyton. It was great having them around when we first got home. We had about a week to ourselves, then Grandma McDonald came out. She stayed for a week. Peyton had a great time getting to know her too. Aunt Britney and Uncle Ryan stopped by on the way home from their honeymoon...that was a great visit too! It's sad that we don't all live closer, Peyton has some great Grandparents!! The McDonald's will be back in August for a week or so and we will see the Maacks again in a few weeks for an open house with Michigan family.
Here are a few pics: (I will try to post more when I can get into town and get get access to some high speed internet)
