Day 56

Dear Daddy,

Somehow I turned into Houdini last night and wiggled out of my swaddling! I guess mommy didn't do a very good job... because I woke up at 5:30 (a half hour before mommy's alarm, as usual).

(After I ate and got dressed, mommy made me take a nap till it was time to go)
We had to get up early for my doctor's appointment this morning. I guess my cold just wasn't going away on its own... and the doctor said although I look wonderful and happy, I have bronchitis! So I have to take the pink amoxicillin (funny thing, Evie is on the same medicine but in doggy-pill form) for ten days, but if I don't start to get better in two days I have to go back in. I'm growing-they weighed me and I am 14 pounds 8 ounces, and they hooked up a funny machine to me to see how much air I was getting into my lungs to make sure I was breathing ok-and I passed just fine! I was such a good girl, and everyone of course commented on how pretty I was. I was all smiles!

When we got home, mommy gave me my first dose of medicine-she didn't shoot it far back enough in my mouth and I spit it ALL OUT! It was a huge mess and it stained mommy's fingers pink!
After that I got in a cozier onesie... it was hot out today (in the 80's) so mommy dressed me in this.
More curls/waves on their way!
This is what Evie was doing when mommy told you she was being silly.
After that mommy and I took a loooong nap. We got up and went to Emily's for dinner, and then the night kind of flew from there... I fell asleep with mommy holding me, like this:
...but then as soon as we got home I got a diaper change, took my medicine like a good girl this time, and went right to bed. Hopefully I sleep good because mommy is really tired tonight.

I love you, daddy, and I can't wait to see you.
Love, Maya
