Well, after living with us throughout my pregnancy and listening to stories with more details than he ever wanted to hear, Lee finally gets some hang time with his new niece. Lee was home from MU last weekend and spent some time at our house. Maya was happy to see him as she found looking at him to be quite entertaining.
Aunt Brie is in town from San Diego. I had no idea what a blessing this would be. The adjustment into parenthood is no joke. Of course people tried to tell us, but until you experience it 1st hand you have no idea. It’s the hardest, most amazingly wonderful thing we will ever do. However, it takes a village. Brie has been helping on the 12-3 night shift with keeping Maya company while momma tries to get some rest. We’ve taken baby on errands and for drives, and learned how to give her a bath without making her cry. Brie is in love with Maya, that much is clear, and Maya returns the love. God bless sisters, I don’t know how I could do this without mine!

Little did she know she was about to be poked and prodded by the nice nurse practitioner. Maya did great, she weighs 8.15! To put that into perspective, she was born 8.6 and discharged at 7.14, so to already be up to almost 9lbs is awesome. Way to nurse Maya!
