THE RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE
Not being near home while the babies are in the NICU is not going to be the most ideal situation for so many reasons. Not being able to see friends and family, or spend time working on our new house, or even give our beautiful cat Cole a hug. (Miss you buddy) Luckily, the Ronald McDonald House tries to take some of those discomforts away. It is a beautiful Victorian house with an iron gate all around it in downtown Burlington, only a mile and a half away from the hospital. We will both probably gain weight while we are here, due to the plethora of food that is in the kitchen. We can do laundry, watch TV, play games, and they even offer rides to and from the hospital. There will be other parents here so we can go through this stuff together; it seems like it will be a nice support system while we are here. We still love all of the support from home, so please keep it coming. To start off our first night here, we thought it only appropriate to have a Big Mac and Double Cheeseburger for dinner…so daddy went to go it!
