I get to see Annelise!

When Annelise was just 1 day old, I got to see her for the first time!  I was moved to a different room at HUP after my 24 hours of magnesium were done.  I was able to move around and basically just recovering from the c-section at this point.  It hurt to get up and move, but the pain medicine helped a lot!

Aunt Denise (Kadunc) & Aunt Kristi came to see me at HUP and decided to travel (via tunnel...oooh!) with us to CHOP to see Annelise.  HUP transport came and wheeled me over with Matt, Denise & Kristi all following.  *The tunnel was nowhere near as spooky/dark/cold as you would imagine.  It was really like a basement corridor of a big building!

I got wheeled right to her room, and WOW!  She is SO beautiful....I really lucked out!  She definitely has her Daddy's ears and my nose.  She has some crazy dark brown hair that was all matted to her head from delivery.  They didn't want to wash it and disturb her until she was better.  She can't keep her tongue in her mouth either.  The ventilator tube was in there and she has her little tongue sticking out under it.  Soooo cute!  The nurses said she was having a good day.  She seemed to be doing well when I was there, especially compared to how we saw Grace when she was in the NICU.  It's like night and day.
