3/17/2011 100 Days Old and St. Patties

March 17th, 2011

On the 100th day in the life of the most beautiful girl in the history of the world the morning began peacefully. Erin got ready for work and I got to stay in bed. Spring break is nice. After Erin left Maya gave me a little scare. After her 8:30 feeding Maya threw up a little. I don’t think she was able to get it all out and it rattled in her throat as she tried to breathe. I turned her on her stomach and patted her on the back as well as suctioned out her mouth. After a short time her color came back. At this point I was on edge and Maya was very cranky, but she was able to get calmed down and fall back asleep.

This afternoon David came by to help out with Maya and watch some basketball. A stressful morning turned into one of the best afternoons that I have had with Maya. At about 1:30 this afternoon Maya woke up. It was the first time she had really woken up without being cranky in quite a while. She stayed wide awake and playful for the entire afternoon. I spent my time sitting on the couch taking pictures and video of my little girl as she made funny faces and moved her hands all over the place.  It was a special afternoon.

This evening Grandma Kathy came by to share our corned beef and cabbage. We ate our dinner and watched some basketball. After dinner Gerilyn brought us some ice cream. It is cool when people bring us stuff so that they have an excuse to come see Maya. We are now sitting watching our cats. Maya gets a little emotional during the games but we tell her to take it easy on the refs. Halftime is almost over. Gotta go now. Adios.
