I'm getting bad at this....

I'm so sorry....I'm getting really bad at keeping this updated!  Things have been soo busy around here!  Annelise is becoming such a big girl!

This weekend, Annelise got a big girl crib!  So we started bringing in clothes for her to wear since she doesn't need the heat anymore.  She fits into Preemie size clothes right now.  I brought in a lot of Newborn size also, but they're a little big still.

This is Annelise in her big girl crib!  Notice that she's laying on the quilt Mommy (me) made for her!  Luckily her Mom Mom made me do the top the week she was born.  So once I got out of the hospital, all I had to do was sew the backing on it.  What good timing!

They changed her CPAP mask to a different type.  It's using a real CPAP machine, not the ventilator machine they previously used on her.  There were no CPAP machines available when they extubated her, so they just switched the setting on the ventilator to the CPAP mode.  The mask sucked.  She was miserable, and everytime she moved, the mask moved with her and blew more air into her belly....not her lungs!

So a very nice respiratory therapist came in this weekend and replaced the CPAP.  YAY!  Although the helmet/cap isn't really cute at all, she's breathing a lot better.  They've been weaning the CPAP machine also, and she's down to room air (21% oxygen) now. 

See?  Not really a cute helmet/cap....but it's doing the job. 

This is the picture we took today, on her 1 month birthday!!!  I can't believe that 1 month ago, I gave birth to this angel!  She is the sweetest and strongest girl I know!  She's changed my life immeasurably and I'm forever grateful for her!  Her Daddy and I are soooo in love with her.
