5/16/2011 159 Days Old

May 16th, 2011

On the 159th day in the life of the most beautiful girl in the history of the world the morning began peacefully. Maya stayed asleep as me and Erin got ready for work. Grandma Patti came by today to take care of Maya while we were away. Grandma and Maya got some good cuddle time this morning. When I got home Maya was asleep on Grandma’s shoulder.

Maya had a peaceful day. She slept for the first part of the afternoon. She woke up at about 3:00. We had a couple hours of good awake time. At 4:30 Maya had a visit from her nurse. Maya’s condition is the same. She has a whole lot of gunkus. We got some good tips on how to suction her out better. Maya now knows the sound of the suction machine. She doesn’t grouse too much most of the time, but if we try to suck out some gunkus and we can’t get it out, then she gets really mad. If the suction leaves her breathing easier, then she doesn’t seem to mind too much.

This evening Grandma Kathy came by. We got to cook out on the grill tonight. The weather was perfect. We even got the windows open, and Maya got some fresh air. We attempted to watch the Royals game, but after 7 of the first 8 pitches were balls, we decided are attention was better spent elseware. Erin is trying to get Maya to sleep now. I hope she sleeps well tonight.

    Dear Maya,

    I think of you often, sweet little one! Tell Daddy he needs to add some dance music to your playlist and that you want more portraits. Six month session, mom and dad? I’m dying to hold your little bundle o’joy!
