Dear Max,
Today we woke up late- we were suppose to have a doctor’s appointment with your heart surgeon – but based on the great visit last Friday with the cardiologist they cancelled the appointment. You are doing so well! Your daddy goes to work tonight for the first time since you arrived in our lives. He is leaving at 7:00 pm and will be home at 2:00 am – right in time to feed you!

Dear Max,
Today I cleaned the house and you hung out being such a good little baby! Tonight, Andrea and Patti, your mommy’s friends are throwing you a party for our friends in Las Vegas to welcome your arrival. Several of mom’s friends from church came over, both the Los Prados ward and the Aliante ward. Everyone was so excited to see you – and you were a hit. You are such a beautiful baby – everyone that sees you is just blown away with your perfect complexion and your perfectly shaped head and big blue eyes. You are amazing! We had fun opening gifts and you getting passed around and held and loved by everyone the whole night.

Dear Max,
Today was your one month check up with Dr. Downey. He is thrilled with the weight you have put on in the last week. He would still like to have seen you gain a little bit more – but with all you have been through was still pleased. After the doctor’s appointment we got a call from your Grandpa Page and he decided to spend the night in Las Vegas so he could see you again – he misses you so much! He stayed the night and helped us take care of you.

Dear Max,
This morning, Ruth the case worker from Premier Adoptions came by to visit with us. She got to meet your Grandpa which was so fun for her to see how excited everyone is that you are here. She talked to us about how you are doing. She was so excited to see you again. After she left we took your Grandpa back down to his truck and since we were out decided to take you into your daddy’s work to show you off to everyone. They were all SOOO excited to see you! They all said how beautiful you are and couldn’t believe how perfect you are. We decided while we were there that we would buy the paint and other items needed to paint your room. We are designing your room in a really awesome green and blue color. I really think your going to like it! When we got home that night we were all exhausted. But as soon as we got in the house – it started to SNOW! A LOT!

Dear Max,
Today your Grandma Page came into town. She couldn’t stand not seeing you and since Grandpa Page just saw you she just had to come! Grandma, You and I decided to run some errands and do some returns of items that we had gotten as gifts for you. You are such a lucky little boy – and everyone is so excited for your arrival that we were overwhelmed with the generosity of our friends and family. Amazingly enough – our little adventure took the ENTIRE day! I think that is one thing that your friends with kids don’t tell you – is how the little tasks suddenly take SOOOO much time! You are worth it all – but it has been a big shock to the system for me! I’m so use to just getting everything I could imagine accomplished all in a flash – it’s been so good for me to take the time to slow down! I need you!
It is so true! You knew new that running errands alone could be so much faster than running errands with one! Wait until you have two - then taking only one will feel like a treat! Then when you have three, taking two will feel like a treat! I am so glad you get to experience motherhood! You will be such a great mom!
