2/9/2011 64 Days Old

February 9th, 2011

On the 64th day in the life of the most beautiful girl in the history of the world the morning began peacefully.  The night however was another story.  Maya has gotten her nights and days mixed up.  She was irritable again tonight and kept me up until her 2:30 feeding.  Dad had to get up to go to work today so I was able to sleep in till her 8:30 feeding. It was a quiet morning.

Grandma Patti came over to help out today.  Kendall also stopped by to look over the photographs that she took in December.  She also got a chance to hold Maya. She has done two photo shoots with Miss Maya, but hasn’t gotten a chance to hold her until today. After lunch Magen, the OT, came to work with Maya.  She is impressed with how well Maya’s joints have been doing.  The work we have been doing on her hands and hips have been paying off.   We worked on tummy time and tried out the bouncy chair.  We had tried it when she was 2 weeks old, but she didn’t do well with her head support.  She did much better today. She was very focused on the stuffed snail that hangs from the bar.  Magen gave us some things to work on to help her focus and track better with her eyes. After Magen left I was able to nap for a little while.

Dad had to stay at work late for conferences so this evening we tried out the Moby Wrap.  I wanted to get somethings done in the kitchen before her feeding so I put her in the sling and was able to be hands free while still holding Maya.  Morgan stopped by for a visit.  Grandpa Bob and Grandma Chris are here this evening to get their Maya time in.  Maya is eating now and getting rocked by Grandma.

We hope for a better night tonight.
