Peyton Update

We got to talk to the doctor today. He explained a little bit better why they want to tube him every other feeding. It is because he gets so tired and exhausted after each bottle feeding, and that tubing every other time will help him get the rest he needs to eventually bottle feed every single time. He also has Jaundice so they have him under lights. That is almost gone so they will remove the lights tomorrow. Not having Jaundice anymore will also up his energy level. So we're still crossing our fingers for taking him home on Thursday but it might be Friday. Rob can always get him to eat everything that he needs to, so he has decided to be there for every feeding just to make sure Peyton doesn't be naughty and fall asleep in the middle of it. He is such a sweet and caring daddy!!

  1. His little pictures were so cute and I can't believe that picture of you. How is it possible you had a baby less than a week ago, you look beautiful. Luke had trouble with feeding too all of sudden he just got it and then he was feeding himself every feeding. I'm sure it will be soon! I'm so glad he is doing well besides that one little problem. What beautiful boys you have!
