Peanut to Pumpkin
Payton Michelle was born on July 14, 2006. She was 3 weeks early and weighed only 6 lbs 2 oz. When I was pregnant we named her Peanut, because she looked so tiny in her ultrasound pictures. The nickname stuck from the moment she was born. Not only was she little, but her name began with a "P" which seemed to complicate things for everyone.
However, our little peanut has grown since her big debut. Payton has gained over 2 lbs sincer her birth. She is eating, sleeping and pooping like a champ! Although we have gotten better at calling her Payton, we've decided her darling cheeks and ever growing belly deserve a more fitting nickname...Pumpkin.
