Building Extra Healthy Babies

Sandy is an excellent mother, always giving, always striving to learn more about her children. While pregnant and on bed-rest, she read numerous books to educate herself on the babies’ development before and after birth. Nurses at the hospital alerted us to the HANDS program offered by the county. This program provides a nurse to visit our home weekly to provide additional child development education and encouragement. Our nurse, Jackie Sigler, has become our child-raising guide. New parents worry about every irregularity and Jackie is wonderful at reassuring us that all is normal and expected. On this day she tested the boys’ development and found them scoring normal for their age in spite of being five weeks premature.
