Day 50, April 12
Maya is 7 weeks old today. Last night she spent the night in a hotel for the first time. We finished driving to my mom's house and she slept the entire way. After lunch, Maya met my grandparents for the first time. They were very happy to meet her I think. My grandma is a bit of a baby hog. My poor grandpa barely got to hold her. Maya has smiled a few more times so I think her previous smile was a real one.
Day 51, April 13
My grandma could barely wait to come hold Maya again today. She held her most of the afternoon. Maya got to meet several of her cousins today. They lined up waiting to hold her. Maya is still cranky and just wanting to nurse in the evenings. I hope she goes back to her usual happy self once we get settled.
Day 52, April 14
Maya started cooing. It's less of a coo though and more of an ack sound. Today we said goodbye to our families. It will be a while before we see them again. My grandparents and aunt visited us in the morning. Then we had lunch with my mom and brother. My cousin stopped by during lunch to meet Maya. Then we headed to Derek's parents house for a few hours. After Maya got over her crankiness and fell asleep, we hit the road.
Day 53, April 15
Today was lots of driving. Maya did well during most of it. She added states 6, 7, and 8 to those that she's been in.
Day 54, April 16
More driving. Maya added two more states to her list of travels. She was cranky again tonight but did really well other than that.
Day 55, April 17
More driving. Maya had her first brush with the law. She was cranky and wouldn't calm down. We were in the middle of nowhere and the only place to stop was a gravel pulloff. I got her out of her seat and was feeding her when a state trooper knocked on the passenger side. Startled us since we didn't see him pull up. He just wanted to make sure everything was ok. He said saw Derek looking into the back and though someone was injured. I guess this is better than our last encounter with the police when we made this drive, when someone, we won't mention any names, got pulled over. Maya finally calmed down and slept until we made it to our new home.
Day 56, April 18
We went shopping today. Maya seemed to be fascinated by everything. I wore her in the wrap and she was looking around taking it all in. I guess she really hasn't been out much. She'd only been shopping one other time at 5ish weeks and she slept through it. We picked up a futon for us to sleep on until our furniture gets here and since we figure we'd have plenty of guests this summer. We seem popular these days for some little reason. I also finally got a rocking chair. I'm excited.
