Sick Again

Poor Maya.  Daycare called early afternoon on Thursday to inform me that she has been having diarrhea every 20-30 minutes.  I took her to the walk-in to find that there is nothing that can be done except wait it out and put her on a bland diet.  Okay, I can handle this with Dave being out of town for work.  Well...after her nap I fed her roughly 4 oz of formula.  Apparently her tummy didn't care for it and Maya proceeded to throw up and boy did she throw up.  I have never seen anything like it in my whole life.  Maya managed to cover herself, the couch, the blanket, and me.  Thankfully my friend Andrea who lives down the street was able to come over so I could clean up.  Thank you Andrea!  Maya hasn't thrown up anymore but continues to have episodes of diarrhea.  Dave did fly home late Thursday and was able to stay home with Maya on Friday.  Despite not feeling the greatest, she still has her charming personality.  Maya still wants to be active and play with her toys.  Hopefully she'll feel better soon.


On a different note...Maya did not win the photo contest :( She was 10 votes behind and received 3rd place.  Thank you to all of you that voted!

Christmas, New Year's, and Maya's Baptism

Happy New Year!  Sorry for the delay in posting a new message.  Here is a recap of the last couple of weeks.

We had a wonderful Christmas.  Maya got to spend her 1st Christmas in Bismarck with some of Dave's family.  Thank you Kerry and Melvin for hosting!  Maya did really well dealing with all the excitement and sleeping in a new environment.  She also got to try all sorts of new food like mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie, and a candy cane.

The holiday weren't busy enough so we threw in a baptism too!  Maya got baptized on Dec. 30th.  Some family were able to make it which meant so much to us.  Maya looked absolutely beautiful in her gown.  Thank you Cherrie for letting Maya wear Megan's dress.

New Year's came and gone but boy did we have fun.  We had some friends over for a pizza party.  The kids had a ball playing with one another, Maya's toys, and our Roomba.  Who knew my Christmas gift from Maya (really Dave) could entertain 2-years olds for so long.  Maya pooped out around 8pm but the party kept going.

Well that about covers it.  Stay tuned for some pictures of our new house.  We are getting closer to being settled!
