1/27/2011 51 Days Old

January 27th, 2011

On the 51st day in the life of the most beautiful girl in the history of the world the morning began peacefully. I fed Maya in her bad before I headed out to work. While I was at work Maya had plenty of visitors. Michelle came over to help take care of Maya. Maya’s nurse came around noon to bring some supplies and Weigh her. She now weighs 6 lbs. 6.5 oz. and 18.5 inches long. It was an increase of 10.5 oz. in 2 weeks. Another few pounds and she will be up to her cousins birth weight.

At 2:00 Maya had an apnea that lasted for 4 minutes. Erin held her and comforted her while she recovered. I was at work and Erin was home alone. I feel bad that I was not here, but I know that Erin takes good care of her while I am at work.

This afternoon Chris came by to see Maya and deliver some G scout cookies. Maya’s stash was running low. She needed some shout outs. I don’t know how she eats them but they seem to disappear while I am at work. Chris held her for a while. She was awake and looking around most of the time. After Chris left Jennifer came by. The girls got to catch up on a little gossip. As Jen was leaving Grandma Chris and Grandpa Bob were arriving. We ate dinner with them and now Grandma Chris and Maya are cuddled in the rocking chair. Both of them are wide awake.
