Payton's first week!

1 week has gone by fast. We are enjoying her so much of course. Maddyson is crazy about her and always wants to be right up on her. She is great with her even though she doesn't realize how gentle she needs to be. We did have to go back to the hospital for a 24 hr period of time for payton to get a suntan :) Her bilirubin level rose from a 3.4 when we were discharged to a 17.8 at her first pedi appt. We were used to the lights cause with Maddyson's jaundice. We spent a week and a half in the hospital under the bili lights. Payton is doing great though. Being 3 weeks early, it takes them a little longer to process the bili, so they use the lights to help. She is eating every 2-3 hrs. At night sometimes we have to wake her to feed her. Hopefully when we want her to sleep through the night she will :). She will feed directly, but i've also been pumping because my you know whats have needed time to heal because she has totally made them raw. Also it has been nice because Brandon can get up with her and feed her since he has taken time off.

Payton is so precious. And the girls do look a lot alike.

Grace was quite smothering when Emma was born... always wanted to be right in her face. But that quickly faded and now she does pretty good with her.

Hope you guys are getting some sleep :)
