Matt holds his first baby....ever!

Today, it was Daddy's turn to hold Annelise!  He was a little nervous I think, he had never held a baby before.  And holding Annelise could intimidate anyone.  She's feisty, has a large tube down her throat, and another tube in her nose, as well as multiple iv lines and wires hooked up to her chest.  But Daddy did a phenomenal job!  Annelise's vitals stayed stable the entire time, and Matt looked like he was in heaven.  He even remarked "I could hold her forever!"  Aww.....however about 1.5 hours later, his arms were tired of our 5 lb. 5 oz. baby girl, and his butt was numb from sitting and not moving.  So we put her back in bed.  She loves being out though, and I can't wait to do this every day!
