2/8/2011 63 Days Old

On the 63rd day in the life of the most beautiful girl in the history of the world the morning began peacefully. It was my day off today. After Maya’s 5:30 feeding I was able to go back to sleep for a while. I really needed the sleep. Maya kept us up half of the night. She was irritable and crying most of the night. We don’t know if it was because of her condition or just being a cranky baby. We hope that it was the later. When she gets upset it shows in her monitor. Several alarms were sounded last night as Maya wailed. We held her and comforted her for most of the night. Eventually she calmed down and drifted off to sleep.

Later in the afternoon Maya got a visit from her nurse. She received her R.S.V. vaccine. The process is not one that Maya is fond of. As soon as she felt the needle close to her leg she began to wail. We held her and calmed her down. She also got weighed today. She is now 6 lbs 15.5 oz. She would have made the 7 lbs mark if not for an untimely diaper change right before weigh in. Speaking of which. She is on her third onesie today. The new diapers worked for a while but she seems to have figured out a way to best them. No diaper is a match for the diaper assassin.

This evening Grandma Kathy came by to see Maya. We ate diner together and watched TV. It was an uneventful night. All onesies survived and Maya slept. We are turning in early tonight. I never thougth I would be looking forward to going to sleep at 9:00. Oh well, I guess that’s just life as a new parent.
