6/2/2011 176 Days Old

June 2nd, 2011

On the 176th day in the life of the most beautiful girl in the history of the world the morning began peacefully. I was on Maya duty by myself today. It was just me and and Maya in the house from 7:00 o’clock this morning until 6:00 o’clock this evening. I’m not gonna lie. I got a little bored. Maya had a talkative day today. Every few minutes she would squirm and make a little noise. I think it was because she hadn’t filled a diaper in about 36 hours. So we passed our morning watching movies and playing guitar. Maya spent a lot of time in her vibrating chair. After her 4:00 feeding Maya stopped squirming. In the course of the next hour Maya would succeed in knocking out three diapers, and then fall fast asleep.

We didn’t have any visitors today. This evening it was just the three of us. Maya got a bath, and the house got cleaned in preparation for our busy day tomorrow. Maya has a visit with her nurse tomorrow, and a photo shoot. She is approaching her six month birthday rapidly. We thought that a photo shoot would be a good way to celebrate. Both of Maya’s favorite photographers will be coming by tomorrow. Petra and Kendall now both volunteer for Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep. If I haven’t said so before, I think everyone reading this should look up N.I.L.M.D.T.S. They are a wonderful organization that helps families going through situations like ours get pictures of their little loved ones. It is sad to think but I think most of the families receiving help from now I lay me down to sleep have a far shorter time with their loved ones than we have. I know that Petra enjoys being able to see a little one keep up her fight for so long. So check them out. they are a great organization.
