Jaidyn Elliott


Jaidyn was "Baby B" in my belly. She said right in the middle of the stomach, so since I had Cameryn on my left and Jaidyn in the middle, literally my right side was not touched by a baby!! Oh Jaidyn, she is our little one. She dropped the most weight after being born, she was born 5 lbs and 11Oz's and left the hospital at 4 lbs 14 Oz's. Even though now she only weighs 1 lb less than her sister, she carries it so different, she is just lighter and smaller and more petite.
We know that her middle name is unique and that was the way we wanted it, I actually was going to name her Elliott for her first name but I changed my mind and we decided on Jaidyn, it was in the hospital that Tyson suggested we use it for her middle name!

She is also our MOST fussiest baby we have ever had. She is perfectly happy and content if...your holding her. She wants to be held and cuddled ALL THE TIME. Which is hard for us because first of all we are not used to that, second of all there is another baby that has to be taken care of and third of all we have a 2 1/2 year old that is having a hard time adjusting to having not one but two new baby sisters around. She has gotten better though as we have really put an effort in to not baby her when she cries and wants to be held, so hopefully it is just a stage and she moves out of it.

Sleep, that is another thing, she only sleeps about 4 hours a night where Cameryn is up to 6 hours. (Although last night she slept for 7 hours, I have a feeling that is not going to last but we will see!!) She will definitely makes us work as parents I have a feeling otherwise she might turn that and be the easiest toddler, who knows, but we will see.
