More Pictures of Peyton

Here are a few pictures of our newest little man! He is growing like a weed. He is 8 pounds 6 ounces and is 21 1/4 inches. He has met both sets of grandparents and is pretty sure he has them both wrapped around his pinkies
He has had a little bit of a rough time, but he is doing great now.
He spent the night in the hospital under the lights for jaundice.
Isabella got to feed him a bottle for the first time, he is not sure he cares for bottles, but I'm sure we will keep trying.
He loves laying in his crib under his mobile, and he loves getting his feet and bottom wet in the sink at bathtime!

Peyton James Krebs




Ok, so, we were scheduled for induction for ...uh..TODAY...but Peyton decided Sunday 10-4 was a much better day. So Rodger Dodger, we headed to the hospital, and within 2 hours he was born.

He cried when he was born which was a first for us. (The Dr always had to pluck them or something to make them cry) However, even though he cried, he still looked a little purple, and then within 5-10 minutes he was grunting. This apparently was a red flag, because at that point they took him to the nicu to check him closer. When they returned they said they were going to keep him because they felt he had come too fast and the fluid didn't get squeezed from his lungs. They thought he would be back with us by 2am. So now, here we are on the second full day of NICU. He has been grunting a little less each time we visit, but not enough to let him go. Last night he was fed a bottle all night long, and today, he has stomach problems and is spitting up) But on the upside, he had not been heard grunting sinceabout 5pm yesterday. Could we be trading problems? Hopefully it is not enough to keep him in longer...




I am going home today, and maybe...just maybe....if he doesn't grunt, or cause any other reason for concern he can go with us. We are clock watching until about 2pm with our fingers crossed.


We can't get very many good pictures of him because of the NICU and his wires, and our limited time with him, but here are a few.
