6/27/2011 200 Days Old

June 27th, 2011

On the 200th day in the life of the most beautiful girl in the history of the world the morning began peacefully. Maya woke up twice during the night, but when I awoke she was sleeping peacefully. She slept right through the crazy storm that blew through our neighborhood around the time of her feeding. She also stayed asleep through much of the day. Erin worked at the dining room table as I got a few last minute details before listing the house. The house goes on the market tomorrow. I am in need of a little rest after the last week, and apparently Maya is too. We did get to spend a little time sleeping on the couch.

This evening Grandma Kathy came by for dinner and to see Maya. Maya stayed asleep most of the time, but I think she enjoyed the visit. She has been a little congested all day. We are going to try deep suction again tonight. It really helps Maya sleep, but we hate doing it. She makes the saddest noises every time. Now that she seems to be more aware of her surroundings it is even more difficult than before. She looks up at us for a bit and then her eyes close with tears. I hope that her congestion can clear up. We don’t know what causes it, but we do know that she was not always gunky. Maybe one night we will suction her and her throat will just stay clear. I hope that that time is tonight.
