Eyes and Noses

First, Elizabeth had her eyes rechecked yesterday and according to Dr. Yoon, who refers to her as "Little Lizzy", she is perfect. We knew that, but I think he was referring to her eyes ;). That was nice to hear, we don't have to see him again until the girls are 9 months old. The nurse in his office is one of the nicest people. She loved Elizabeth and commented on how strong she was and how surprised she was that her eyes were fully developed at her size. She thought she was the smallest she had seen that didn't have to be rechecked. Elizabeth did great during the exam, but we are thankful we don't have to go back to have her eyes dilated again.

Second, Anna and Elizabeth both have come down with stuffy noses. This makes for long nights and one tired Mama. We can thank their big brother Jack for bringing home this virus last week from preschool. I am weary thinking this is only the beginning! Anna is slightly worse, but both girls are able to take their bottles--they are just slow and spit up more. I have them propped up to sleep and have been suctioning their noses. I hope they get better soon. Jack's cold didn't last very long and was mild for an almost 3 year old, but snotty noses in tiny babies sometimes can be serious. So, we are hoping they improve each day. And we are hopeful we can keep it from Kate if that is possible.
