Going Home


This week we were able to bring the little guys home from the NICU. *thunderous sounds of applause* This helps to explain Ian's party attire and accompanying bewilderment. And yes, Mike picked out their 'going home outfits' because chicks dig the hat (thanks Kelsie). Other than the chronic sleep deprivation, things have been going well.

Because the babies are still quite small (6 lbs!) and sickness is so big and bad, the doctor in the NICU advised us to not have any visitors (especially children) for a couple of months and, since Mike has already gone 180 rounds with the season's cold/flu champion, we feel pretty strongly about this. Since they have already had respiratory problems, even a minor cold could make life miserable, and the last thing we want is to have to spend more time back in the NICU. We appreciate all of the concern and support that our family and friends have given us and we'll let you know when the Visiting Hours are open.

Cheers!

Congrats, Nicky, the kids and I have been staying away because the cold virus seems to pass from each of us daily to the person who is feeling better. We love you guys, and can't wait until we get to hang with you and the little guys!

Thanks! Sorry to hear that you guys have been hit by the bug. It seems that no one is safe...

I guess we'll have to cancel our flights then. Must be great to have the little guys home with you!

Great to hear that you are all home. Enjoy the time you have getting used to having them around! Once visitors start to come there'll be no peace. Hope that all is well with you all.
Love,
Annette & Nick
