The girls' Grammy Collins is here for the next three weeks helping out while we look for a nanny. The girls absolutely love her and she's being a big help.
Here's Grammy with Miss Mila chilling out on her shoulder. Grammy helped out with bringing the girls to the doctor's while their mom worked at home.The girls had another two vaccinations - and they both did really well. These vaccinations can cause fevers and make the girls cranky, but they were very well-behaved.
This brings up something very important that bears repeating. We've had several people recently who've wanted to visit with the girls who we've had to refuse because they have been sick. Let me clarify, the rule is that you have to be well for three consecutive weeks in order to visit the kids. You can't have had a cold, or stomach problems, or even a cold sore. This isn't an arbitrary rule, and we aren't being paranoid. This is straight from our medical professionals.
We're sorry when we have to tell people they have to wait. We know that, if you don't have premature children of your own, this may be difficult to understand. A virus that may give you or me a common cold can be life threatening for the girls. Even if you have been well for two weeks, you can still carry a disease which can be serious. For the first year or so, premature babies do not have the immune systems of full-term babies.
Speaking of preemies, we had a visit from our good friends Kirk and Christine today. They brought their son Quinn who was born at just over 23 weeks. He's now over a year old and doing extremely well. You can see just how big he now is here on his dad's lap. Keep in mind he was 1lb 4oz at birth.
Here is Ninong Jason with Mila and Tita Christine with Sophia today
