5/15/2011 158 Days Old

May 15th, 2011

On the 158th day in the life of the most beautiful girl in the history of the world the morning began peacefully. Maya only woke up once at 1:00. We were all three able to get some much needed sleep last night. The suctioning seems to be helping Maya out quite a bit. She had plenty of awake time today. She even got a bath. She still starts to squirm and grouse as soon as she hits the water, but we noticed that she calms down as soon as Erin starts washing her hair. I guess it soothes her to have her head massaged.

It was a boring day at our house. We had no visitors until 7:00 or so this evening When Grandpa Bob and Grandma Chris came by with Jadin. Maya was her usual cute self. She was peaceful most of the day. She still keeps us on our toes with her grabby little hands. She has started to use her right hand more. We have known that she is a lefty for some time now. When we lay her down in her boppy we try to lay her left side down. Or as I like to call it grabby side down. It minimizes the rush of panic to grab her cannula from her hand and place it back in her nose. Today she just decided that she would grab it with her right hand.

That was pretty much all that went on today. It was a nice day.
