For those of you who have NICU babies you understand all of the extra precautions one takes to avoid any sickness reaching their child. First - you scrub into the NICU area for a whole two minutes. Then, if you want to hold your child you need to put on a gown to avoid any germs from your clothes to reach your baby. If you have a cold or feel sick - as hard as it is - you stay away from your baby. We have been debating when and who we would allow to hold Makinley. We WANT everyone to hold her but we also know it is important for her to stay healthy.
This weekend Grandpa Rog and Grandma Cyndi came to visit. We felt we needed a little extra support after a rough week. Once they arrived, we suprised them by letting them hold Makinley for the first time :) They were thrilled! (This was mom's fourth visit to Sioux Falls since Makinley was born so she was more than ready to hold her.) Here are a few pictures we captured:
