SORRY!!!!!

I am so sorry that I have not been able to post more pictures. Everything is going well. It didn't take long before Peyton started getting the hang of the whole feeding and it has made life great, but hard to get around. I am not one for nursing in public, so right now we are only able to get out of the house for just a couple of hours. I am sure that I will get over it and will start nursing in public, but right now it is not my thing. Peyton is a good baby and loves to be loved all the time. (Meaning held!!!) Most of the time I end up getting good sleep at night, but not always. We have started Peyton on gas drops after being up with her for 2 hours the first night home crying and screaming. Things are much better now. Most of the time when I don't get a good nights rest is because Peyton wants to be held and then will fall asleep on my chest and I end up getting some sleep, but not great. We went to the doctor last week and Peyton only dropped down to 7lbs. 5oz. from 7ilbs. 7oz. when we left the hospital. We go back for her one month appointment on May 2nd.

Here are a ton of pictures that I have been taking over the past couple of weeks. I will do my best to post more often.


Here is Peyton at one week old.

I love to lay and sleep on my side. I turn on to my side all by myself while laying on Dad's chest.








Getting my first bath!


Mom and Dad washing all that hair.

I love my swing!

Peyton is doing very well and we have gotten the feeding thing down. We go to the doctor on Wednesday to get checked out and I am sure that she will be getting another shot, so I am hoping that she handles it as well as all the other shots.

We love our swing and spend lots of time in it. I could not get her to look right at me because the TV was on and she just kept looking that way.

Welcome Peyton Allison Yoder

Peyton Allison Yoder was born Wednesday, April 2nd at 2:18pm. She was 7lbs 13oz and was 19 3/4 inches. It only took 5 hours of labor before we could see our brown headed girl. She is all Brandon! She has his eyes (Blue/Gray) nose, and mouth. She has my chin and ears. We were totally shocked when she came out with a head full of hair. We had a little problem right at first getting her to breast feed, but she has gotten the hang of it in the last couple of days. She is such a good baby and Brandon and I can not get enough of her.

Enjoy all the pictures and remember to click on the picture to make it bigger.

39 Weeks!

How Peyton's growing:
Your baby's waiting to greet the world! She continues to build a layer of fat to help control her body temperature after birth, but it's likely she already measures about 20 inches and weighs a bit over 7 pounds, a mini watermelon. (Boys tend to be slightly heavier than girls.) The outer layers of her skin are sloughing off as new skin forms underneath.

Update from the Doctor...

I went to my doctor's appointment yesterday to see if there was any changes and hoping that it wouldn't be long before this little girl decides to come into this world. I am now dilated to a good 4cm almost 5cm. I am already in the active stage of labor...crazy!!! I was glad to hear that there had been a change since I have started to get very uncomfortable and have started swelling. I finally ended up having to take off my wedding ring on Sunday night. To get things started the doctor did a fun procedure to get contractions started. It wasn't very pleasant, but it did the trick. Nothing serious enough to get in the car and drive to the hopsital. Really the only thing that we have gotten out of it is very little sleep. It is hard to get some sleep when all I can think about is what the next couple of days are going to be like.

Peyton's Birthday has been set... April 2nd!!!!
If nothing happens today then we go to the hopsital at 8am on Wednesday morning and get things rolling. If I am blessed like my Mother and Sister and have short labors, then this little girl will be sharing a birthday with 2 special people in my life. My cousins Jeff and Ryan Manuel were both born on April 2 and Ryan has been saying all along that she was going to be born on his birthday. I couldn't think of two better people to share a birthday with then Jeff and Ryan.

Brandon and I are very excited and just can't wait for Peyton to get here. She will be a week earlier then her due date, but she already listens to her Mom because I told her she couldn't come out until April. Those of you that picked April...Good Job!

Are lives are going to change in the next couple of days and there is nothing that can prepare us for what is coming, but we have great family and friends that have already been such a great support to both of us. Not sure when my next post will be, but I will do my best to get pictures up quickly. Please keep both Brandon and I in your prayers.

Thanks, Kelly
