Just another day in paradise...

Peyton and I began our day at 4 am... She spit up, while sleeping on her back, and started choking on it. It ended-up going in to her nose, which she was not happy about... I can't blame her. So we went downstairs, with the nose aspirator, and watched some CNN and sucked out spit-up from her nose. I did realize, as I finally got her to settle down at 4:52, that she was three weeks old. I had just given birth at that time three weeks ago! Oh, slow down time!!! The rest of the day, we just took it easy. We did run errands, yes, more, and got groceries done. I even managed to find more scrapbooking stuff at Target, I had to take a tie back... too bad I haven't even done a page... I also got Lynn's Kindergarten Round-up papers in the mail... I opened them and started reading... I started to cry! She saw me. I showed her the papers. She asked if I was crying because I am happy. I told her yes. I am still so confused at how I have a five year old... Ash got gum in her hair. She lost it at the store... I didn't find it till they were brushing teeth tonight... Brooke came over tonight and took pics of Peyton. I found the cutest and most perfect shirt for her at Wal-Mart... It has some peas in the pod on it and says: "Sweet Pea". See, perfect. Brooke is putting together a birth announcement for us. So excited! Here is a teaser... more cuteness to come!

Peyton looks so sweet in these pictures! I think I will cry too when Hunter is ready for Kindergarten. You will have to make this summer extra special since it is her last before school starts. How did the gum removal go? Poor Ash! It can be hard to keep track of that gum sometimes!

See what I mean? Back sleeping is dangerous! After going trough the spit up, choke, stop breathing thing with Hailey and Tyler, I stopped messing around and slept all my babies on their tummies.

NO, Back sleeping is safer than tummy sleeping. All the studies show it. Babies may choke on their backs, but their airways have a reflex that protects them...and they wake up. Babies who sleep on their tummies sleep so deeply, they don't wake up when they stop breathing.

Ok, sorry, that's a pet peeve of mine, but I'm the one who's tried to resucitate a SIDS baby before, and it's one of the worst memories of my life. And that baby died. And yes, it had been on its tummy. It's just too big a risk to take.
