Daddy changes his first diaper

Today when Matt & I visited Annelise, her nurse, Heather, taught Matt how to change a diaper.  We had registered for Baby Basics class so he could learn how to care for an infant, however our class was scheduled for Saturday, July 10th.  We obviously didn't make it!  It was so cute how gentle he was changing the diaper.  He was very concerned and careful not to hurt Annelise at all. 

When the doctors did rounds, they decided to switch her ventilator setting and see how she did.  The setting it was on, the machine did most of the work.  The machine basically breathes for her, pushing oxygen into her lungs.  With the new setting, when Annelise takes a breath, it triggers the machine to give her oxygen.  This allows the doctors to wean her off of the ventilator a lot quicker.  Initial results were good.  She is on only 28% oxygen right now.  (Regular room air is approximately 21%).

After Matt changed her diaper, I got swab her mouth with breast milk.  She is soooo cute.  She grips onto the swab with her mouth and sucks on it.  I think she's almost ready for food!  Then she opened her eyes real wide for us!  We decided enough was enough, she needed some girly accessories.  Mom Mom had bought her some cute headbands, so we got out a white one and put it on her.  She opened her eyes again and looked at us - we snapped a picture.  She didn't look amused at all.  But she's so pretty with her little bow, I just can't take it off! 

*UPDATE*
Figured out how to post a picture.....here's sweet Annelise with her white headband on!  Her left eye is a little puffy because she had been laying on that side of her face all day.
