Maya is six weeks old today. The time has really flown by. I was doing our weekly photo session and Maya peed all over the bed. Less than one week left until we move.
Day 44, April 6
We had professional pictures made again today. We did them outside at a park since it was finally a nice day. Maya cried most of the time. It was really the first time she had been outside and not buried under blankets in her car seat or carrier. We went to Bible study tonight and she slept the entire time. We started giving away stuff we don't want to move today.
Day 45, April 7
We spent the day running errands and getting ready for our move. Maya and I packed up my stuff in my office and said goodbye to most of my labmates. Derek packed up his office and then came to help us.
Day 46, April 8
My brother, sister-in-law, their three kids, and my mom came to visit today. My brother and his family hadn't met Maya yet. They were all excited to meet you.
Day 47, April 9
I think Maya smiled at me today. I'm not sure if it was a real smile but it sure seemed intentional. We had family dinner with our adopted family tonight. It was great to see them but hard to say goodbye.
Day 48, April 10
We went to church today along with my mom, brother, sister-in-law, nieces, and nephew. Maya decided she needed to eat and eat and eat so we spent most of the time in the nursery. After church, we went to my mom's favorite Sunday restaurant before they left for home. We spent the afternoon trying to get everything ready for our trip. In the evening, we went back to church and said goodbye to everyone. It wasn't as bad as I had anticipated. Maybe the move still doesn't seem real. This evening when were trying to pack and organize for the move Maya was cranky. She just wanted to nurse.
Day 49, April 11
The moving company packed us up today. They started at 8:30 and were done by about 1:30. That is definitely the way to move. Maya and I spent most of the time hanging out in the hall. We stopped by to say goodbye to our best friends on the way out of town. It was rough. We will miss them. While we were at their house, Maya was cranky again. After she settled down, we started the drive to visit my grandparents. We drove about halfway there and Maya slept the entire time.
