Visitors and Meals

Hi all!

Many of you have expressed interest in bringing meals over as well as coming to hold some very snuggly twins. I thought I'd just post info on here instead of replying to folks individually.

VISITORS
We have to continue to limit visitors to adults only, at least until May...doctor's orders, due to the girls' preemie status and the fact that the RSV/influenza virus season is so bad this year. And any adults who do come to visit have to be sure that they are healthy, and that no one in their household is sick.

If you are healthy and want to come hold some very snuggly babies, though, send me an email and we will find a time for you to visit! We kind of have to spread the visits out because the girls are still so small and their immune systems are still vulnerable, so you may have to wait a bit for your "time slot" but I know many of you are anxious to meet our little angels!!

MEALS
Many of you have sent emails wondering if you can bring food or meals by as we navigate this crazy time. We appreciate any and all offers of assistance - especially food-related! :) Cooking and preparing meals just isn't in the realm of possibility most days. I think with a single at-term baby, a household can sometimes be in a pretty good groove. But I am finding that the complicating factors--twins, premature, some trouble with feeding, a 21 month old also at home, a mommy who had such a rough pregnancy and complicated labor that she's slower to fully recover, etc.--mean that we're still "in the thick of it" at this point! Both the pediatrician and the lactation consultant said it's truly remarkable what happens when a preemie baby reaches their original "term" date, though... things just start to fall into place!

I apologize for not having the chance to get back to you individually regarding your offers to bring food. Please feel free to bring stuff over - just call or email to let me know when. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!
