11.7.09: Sniffles

The girls got their first cold. I knew this would be a challenge when having multiples - cross contamination. There is really no reasonable way to prevent the spread of a cold between the girls. I would like to pretend that we don't share binkies, bottles, or medicine, but I would be lying. When we first brought everyone home from the NICU we were much better about cross contamination, but soon learned it was going to happen regardless of what we did so we just decided to embrace it. Besides, at least this way they all get sick at the same time rather than consecutively. Of course that makes the couple of days they are sick very tough, but then they are all on the mend at the same time too. Thankfully the cold only seems to last a couple days and I believe we are entering the recovery stage.
