The life of new parents

Last Wednesday through Friday Sara, Maya and I went to Wichita for work. Here are the girls playing before bed.

Sara keeps Maya entertained at the hotel while Mommy goes to work.

Who loves Sara? Maya does!

We stopped for some ice cream after a hard night of shopping. Maya was not happy that Sara wasn’t sharing.

Thank God the girl fell asleep! Her teeth were bothering her and she was fussing at the beginning of the trip on the way home, we thought we might be in for a painful ride home…but the Tylenol kicked in and baby girl was out the whole way home.

We have been so blessed to find 2 amazing nannies for Miss Maya. Sara is a friend of my sister Brie’s and so she’s been around since Maya was just a few weeks old. She now watches her 1 afternoon a week because her schedule has gotten very busy since she’s at the end of nursing school. She’ll graduate in May, way to go Sara! Don’t forget the little people when you get your nursing gig!

Maya gets so excited when she see’s Sara. Even when its been over a week you can tell she knows exactly who Sara is when she walks in the room. Maya just lights up. She knows she’s going to get her undivided attention & be held as many snuggles as she wants.

And here’s Katie. She is wonderful & Maya is already starting to attach & this was just her 2nd week with us. Katie has had a couple classes with my mom, that’s how we met her. She’s starting nursing school in the Fall so hopefully we’ll have her around for awhile. Throughout the day, I can hear her playing with Maya & teaching her things. They read, & play on the activity mat, & look at pictures & rock. Do far things have been going wonderfully, she’s great to have around.

Lots of rocking.
