Professional Pics of Peyton!

We had some professional pictures done with the photographer who did our wedding photos when Peyton was 5 1/2 weeks old! She did tons of Peyton and a family one too! Here are just a couple of them to glance at! I had to take a picture of the picture since we didn't get them on a disk, so they're not the best quality ... but you get the idea! :)

How big is Peyton?? Soooo big!! :)

Peyton is getting so big! She is almost (or could be) 13 lbs now! I get her weighed every Monday at "Baby Drop In" but it was closed for Easter Monday so I'm not sure of her exact weight, but she is a porker! ;) She has really started to smile and "coo"! Every morning when she wakes up, we head to her change table and she sure puts on a show! She loves "chatting" away and smiling! It is so cute! She is coming up on 2 months old, as of April 6th and I can't believe how fast the time has gone by already! Here are a few pictures from the past couple weeks ... ENJOY!!

Our Little Fashion-ista!! ;)

Well anyone that knows us ... knows we have TONS of clothes for Miss Peyton! She is now starting to fit into all the fun & cute clothing, and I am having a great time dressing her up! She went to her first wedding on March 1st and was a little angel .. the picture above in the pink dress is of her before we left! We went to "Baby Drop In" today and Peyton now weighs a wopping 10lbs 7oz and is 21 3/4" long! She gained 1lb 1oz in a week ... she went through her 3 week growth spurt last week :) Anyways, we will keep you updated on the progress of our little princess ... who will be A MONTH old on Thursday ... where has the time gone?!

We're so in love!!

Peyton is now 2 weeks and 3 days old and getting bigger and bigger by the minute! On Monday at "Baby Drop In" she weighed 9lbs exactly! She is a very happy and healthy baby! She feeds usually every 2-3 hours during the day and every 4-6 hours at night! :) We just love her so much and can't remember our life without her! I really do love her at this stage but can't wait until she can smile and respond to us! She is a great combination of the 2 of us! She "talks" in her sleep like her mom, and poops like her dad! haha! Enjoy the pics!

She's Here!!!

Meet Peyton Elizabeth Lee Veenstra ... born Feb 6th 2008 weighing 7lbs 11oz and 20.5 inches long!! With a long labor after being induced 4 times ... Peyton made her way into the world! We are so happy that she is finally here and are adjusting well to our new lives as parents!

Three days overdue ...

Yes that is what I feel like ... Peyton is using my bladder as a squeeze toy! I am offically three days overdue and just waiting! I think that's all we can do is wait, and whenever she is ready she will come! :) We have a dr appt this afternoon and we are hoping that he can get things rolling ... we are hoping to have a baby by this weekend ... perferably not on Superbowl Sunday! haha! ;)

I have to tell all of you, that I think I have the BEST husband in the whole world. He had been so helpful, cosiderate, and caring throughout this whole pregnancy, but especially towards the end knowing how much I just want her here! He is going to be such a good father and I can't wait to see the relationship that him and Peyton share. I am so blessed to have him as my best friend, my husband and the father of my children!

Again, we will keep you posted and hopefully our next posting will be a picture of the new addtion to our little family :)

We're due TOMORROW!!

No this is not Peyton in my tummy, but this is exactly what it feels like! We are soooo excited that we are due tomorrow. We can't believe the day is almost here, it seems like so long in the waiting ... yet it has gone by so fast at the same time! We can't wait to have our daughter here and have our little family!

On Friday, we had a Dr Appt, and I was 1 cm dilated, my cervix was open and the doctor could feel her head ... so we're hoping that it will be sooner then later! Last night I had contractions for just over 3 hours and then they STOPPED! Hopefully just getting my body ready for labor :) We have another dr appt scheduled for this Friday (Feb 1st) if she isn't here by then, and our dr has requested Feb 5th be our induction date. We will be keeping the blog updated, so just keep checking for information!
