5/12/2011 155 Days Old

May 12th, 2011

On the 155th day in the life of the most beautiful girl in the history of the world the morning began peacefully. Maya slept better last night. She was up at 3:30, but then stayed asleep until 6:00. I was able to get ready for work and try and comfort her back to sleep at the same time. I was having little success calming her down. Eventually I had to go to work. I woke Erin up and passed Maya off to her. Seconds had not passed since I placed Maya in Erin’s arms and she drifted to sleep. She just needed her Mamma.

Grandma Kathy took care of Maya today while Erin worked from home. Maya had a good day. She is needing less suctioning every day. I hope that means she is getting better. She is not out of the woods yet though.

Tonight Grandma Patti came by to see Maya. Erin has spent the night in the kitchen.Maya has been on the couch. Maya and Grandma got to take a little nap together, while I played guitar. It has been a relaxed night.Maya is a little cranky now, but nothing that we can’t handle. We are hoping that tonight might be the first night in a while with out a rude awakening. We could use the rest.
