Four Shots

Well, today was another visit to the pulmonologist and more shots. They are receiving a medication to help prevent RSV this winter. They are big enough that they now need two shots of the medication, one in each leg. This visit, I had to work so Rocky brought the girls to the office and we went together. Then we had lunch in the cafeteria before he went home to rescue Gramma and Grampa from the other kiddos! The girls are now on breathing treatments 3 times a day and steroids twice a day for the next 5 days. If they are not better by monday, we are to call the doctor back to see where to go from here. He believes that they have just picked up a virus that has caused their Reactive Airway Disease (from prematurity, etc) to flare up. Isabelle has now passed up Abby by nearly a pound. She weighed in at 19 lbs 2 oz and almost 29 inches. Abby was 18 lbs 5 ounces and 28 inches. No wonder the are so heavy in their car seats!

This weekend was really busy. I made cookies and candy on Saturday and then on Sunday the kids and Mema decorated the cookies we made. There are a FEW left over for santa, but not many! That's ok, I hear Santa doesn't need that many cookies, anyway!

Here are some pictures of the girls in their Christmas dresses, and then my 4 girls together. Olivia was not really keen on posing for a picture, but we tried. Isabelle now has 6 teeth. She has cut 4 on the top and 2 on the bottom now. Abby is behind with just the 4 (two on top and two on bottom). We will be spending tomorrow taking care of the last minute things for Christmas, cooking, cleaning and cooking and cleaning! Oh, and did I mention I am counting the loads of laundry I do this week, just to see. I started on Sunday and I am already up to 10 - How high do you think it will go?










We hope you have a blessed Christmas!
