3/18/2011 101 Days Old

March 18th, 2011

On the 101st day in the life of the most beautiful girl in the history of the world the morning began peacefully. Erin was off work today and we planned to have a fun family day. Somehow we ended up cleaning the house this morning, but I guess that was part of the fun. In the middle of our morning cleaning Maya had a hard episode. Her heart rate went way up and she began to cry. We did the best we could to comfort her but sometimes there isn’t much that we can do. Her spell lasted for about 45 minutes, at the end of which she got worn out and drifted off into a fragile sleep. She would awake from time to time to let out a little whimper, and would then drift off again. After and hour or two she was rested and recovered so we loaded her up in her stroller and went for a walk.

It was good to get out of the house with her. She slept through most of the journey until we turned around to start heading home. Walking the other direction the sun found its’ way past her sun visor and down to her beautiful face, causing a nose scrunch and some tears. We walked home with one of the two of us standing so that our shadow covered her face and the sun would not disturb her slumber any further.

This evening Grandpa Bob and Grandma Chris came by to share our leftover corned beef and see Maya for a while. She was a little bit cranky tonight. Maya that is not grandma. Grandma was just fine. We are going to make it an early night tonight. Maya is already asleep, and we just started a movie. I think I’ll try and watch the movie, but Maya is so cute when she is sleeping that I may be distracted.
