Ellie and Beckett

Thanks again for sharing perpective in words to help our friends and family truly understand. And I shared yet another one of your posts on facebook! :)Mama to Ellie (27 6/7 days) and Beckett (25 weeks)...who is now 1 week adjusted! Wahoo! Going in for our second synagis on Friday. However I've been on the phone many times with the insurance, specialty pharmacy and pulmonologist since last Friday!

Sunscreen

I recently took my own kids to the beach. We always put lots of sunscreen on indoors, before heading out into the sun so it has time to absorb (it takes about 30 minutes). Even though they don't nap anymore, we all have quiet time inside during the early afternoon, when the sun is hottest. Nobody got burned!
