5/27/2011 170 Days Old
May 27th, 2011
On the 170th day in the life of the most beautiful girl in the history of the world the morning began peacefully. Maya slept through her first morning feeding and did pretty well overnight as well, but sill insisted on waking up before the alarm clock went off for Erin to get to work. She was not awake for long though. She fell asleep again around 8:30 and stayed asleep until 2:00. She was making up for a sleepless day yesterday.
Maya had an eventful day today after she woke up. She got a new feeding tube and a bath. I can’t imagine that it is a very fun to have the feeding tube put in, but I can vouch that it is not fun being the one putting it in. Me (Erin) and Maya had a good (read: sloppy mess) cry after all was said and done. They have definitely gotten easier to do and hopefully less traumatic for Maya but it is hard to not pick her up and comfort her in the middle when the tube is not completely in and taped down.
After her bath and dinner Maya had some special guests. Maya’s Great Grandma Hoisington and Great Aunts came by for a visit. Susan, Kate, Carrie, Geneva, and Great Grandma all got to hold Maya for a little while. They will get more opportunities to hold her again on Sunday as we are taking Maya on her first extended trip out of the house. We are going to Grandpa Bob & Grandma Chris’ on Sunday for lunch. We are excited and kinda of nervous too. Stay tuned to Sunday evening blog to hear how it goes. Wish us luck.
