Booby wins!

Well I just want to announce that booby finally wined. We are still giving her medicine for the thrush (hopefully ending on Tuesday). So whether this rejecting of breastfeeding was due to the mouth infection or nipple confusion or a combination, we successfully feed 2 days without needing to give her the bottle. Her hardest feeding is around 6 pm and was the last one to struggle with.

She also slept through the night on Saturday. She finished feeding at 10 pm and didn't wake up till 6:30 in the morning. However she didn't do it again last night.
:( Maybe she do it again soon.

Some sad news: Russell wasn't able to get the job promotion. Later during a physical for the company he found out that the company has a policy stating that no one with diabetes can work in that job in a fear of the person blacking out at the wheel. Despite argument of no risk of Russell with non-insulin dependent (type II) blacking out he couldn't change their mind. : ( Oh well, I guess it wasn't God's will.

For those who don't know we have been giving little Nelly Gentian Violet for her trush. Gentian Violet dies everything purple. Everything! (That is the dark purple stained on the side of her lip.) And we are starting round 3 of meds to get rid of the trush.

Also her 2 month check up today. She weighed in at 12 lbs exactly and 24 inches long!

Well I wanted a wash and go type of do. So I thought I would try a perm, but lets just say that didn't work out very well. So I went short, what do you think?




See the update of the whole family.

Woohoo!

Russell just got a new job/ job promotion. He was able to move around in his company he works for to get a better paying job that has room to move up the corporate ladder. Hopefully down the road he will make enough where I can stop working as much. I love you Papi!

Big Bouncing Baby Boy

A big bouncing baby boy was born today, September 8th, at around 11:30 am EST. Colton Thomas Payne was born 10 lbs 1 oz, 21 inches long via C-section. Here is a beautiful picture of the little boy.

the stork is coming....

The Stork is visiting the Payne family (my husband, Russell, cousin). Keep Nicole, who probably is in labor right now, in prayer for a smooth labor. I will announce as soon as I hear of little boy Colton and when he has made his appearance to his new parents Kyle and Nicole.

Booby in the lead :)

Well Penelope's thrush is not gone...nope it isn't gone after ALL that we have done and over a 7 day treatment with Nystatin. So Doctor mom is giving her Gentian Violet (an old remedy). So tonight (Thursday night) we are doing day 2 of treatment. I really hope it helps her. But I have been able to breast feed her again, a little. Today, however, she has been a little fussy. So pray that it gets better soon.
