Happy One-Month Birthday to Peyton!

I can't believe our little angel is already one month old today! Time is going by so fast! We went to the Pediatric Cardiologist this morning to get her heart murmur checked out and the kind of murmr she has is a normal one for some infants. The doctor said her pulmonary artery is the artery that is causing the murmer because it is so small and all the blood that is trying to get through it has a little bit of trouble getting through. She said that when babies have this kind of murmur it normally corrects itself in 6-12 months, so that was WONDERFUL news. On the "bad news" side of things, she is still not gaining any weight and is now even losing some. She weighs 7 lbs, 15 oz and has only gained 6 oz since birth when the average weight gain for a newborn within the first month is 1 and 1/2 lbs. We have an appointment with a GI specialist next Wednesday to get her diestive tract checked out so hopefully that will help us figure out what is wrong with her. Even though she cries a lot and seems to be very uncomfortable a lot of the time, she is the sweetest little girl! Hayden is NUTS about his baby sister and when she cries like she does he'll bring some of his toys to her and kiss her on the forehead! It's the CUTEST thing! We are so lucky to have the two most beautiful and sweetest children in the world! We just need to get "baby sister" straightened out and we will be perfect. I will keep you all posted and I will try to post a slideshow of some more pictures soon.
Love to you all!
