5/11/2011 154 Days Old
May 11th, 2011
On the 154th day in the life of the most beautiful girl in the history of the world the morning began peacefully. Maya only woke up once last night. She was up at 1:00. We were able to suction her nose and she went back to sleep after a bit. When I woke to get read for work Maya was still asleep. When I left for work she was also still asleep. She did wake up Erin with her alarm at 7:30, but some quick suctioning and she was ok again.
Erin had the whole day alone with Maya today. She did not have to work today, and she got some quality time with her baby girl. At 11:00 Maya got a visit from her nurse and her Dr. Maya seems to be doing a little better. It is hard to tell whether she is recovering a little bit from her congestion or the suctioning is just helping her, but her oxygen level has been pretty good today.
When I got home from work Maya and Erin were relaxing on the couch. Shortly after Maya woke up she got wide eyed and happy. We haven’t seen her this active in a few days. I think that means she is doing a little better. We sat on the couch, listened to some music, and did some tummy time. It was a great moment for us. Everything slowed down and we just got to enjoy our beautiful girl. She was breathing easy. We listened to some Mumford and Sons. She always loves Mumford.
This evening Krissie and Travis came over and made us dinner. They got some good Maya time, and Krissie helped with Maya’s bath. We left the TV off tonight. We have just listened to music. It’s been a while since I posted Maya’s playlist. Rest assured her musical education continues. Here is her playlist from the last few days.
Ray LaMontagne, “Trouble”
Ben Harper, “Live From Mars”
Bruce Springstein, “Greetings From Asbury Park”
Ray Charles, “The Definitive Colection”
Mumford and Sons, “Sigh No More”
Dave Mathews, “Some Devil Bonus Disk”
