Whoorlito Update
Hello out there!
First off, I want to thank everyone for all of the wonderful comments. The last 5 days have really been a whoorlwind – yes, I actually just TYPED that horribly cheesy word. It’s the hormones! I swear! Cheesy words or not, your comments have made me smile.
I was discharged from the hospital yesterday afternoon, but unfortunately little Wito didn’t make the trip home with us. He is spending some time in the NICU due to a particularly bumpy delivery and we are hoping to have him home by the end of the week. He is such a strong little boy and gets better everyday.
I can’t wait to tell you about this crazy week, but obviously, I will be spending all of my time with him in the NICU until we can bring him home.
Until then, be well and send little Wito some serious “going home” vibes!

August 7th, 2006 7:55 amCONGRATULATIONS! (I didn’t check the last post all weekend – what a suprise when I came back this morning) I’m sending all the good wishes I can, plus some, that your little man makes it through wonderfully and that you get him home as soon as possible. Can’t wait to hear more, but I will wait patiently, of course. You belong in with your guy.

August 7th, 2006 8:58 amAll of my love to you, D, and Anders. Take your time this week and know that we’re all here when you need us.
I can attest to the fact that he is gorgeous AND a fighter! Just like Whoorl, y’all.

August 7th, 2006 9:20 amBeen folowing your pregnancy and delurk today to send my blessings and prayers out for your family. The NICU can be an overwhelming place. Praying for your strength and healing for Anders.
Stacy
August 7th, 2006 9:26 amThe NICU can be an intimidating place. Don’t let the NICU staff push you around. Ask questions, and if you feel he’s ready to come home, push for the discharge. Our son stayed in the NICU 3 days longer than he really needed to.
Lisa
August 7th, 2006 9:36 amDe-lurking today to say I’ve been thinking about you all weekend and wish you all the best and a safe and speedy trip home for little Anders! I know lots of Canadians have you in their thoughts.

August 7th, 2006 9:56 amJust de-lurking today to tell you that I wish you, D, and precious baby Anders all the best.
I’ve been through the NICU experience also, and
I know it can be difficult. Your little guy will
be home with you very soon. Spend as much time as you can with him, but make sure you get some
rest too!
Wendy
August 7th, 2006 9:57 amWe ended up coming home without our baby, too. It was so HARD! He only ended up having to stay one more night in the NICU, though, so here’s hoping Anders has a speedy recovery, too! It’s amazing how tough those little guys are.

August 7th, 2006 11:56 amAs intimidating as the NICU is, aren’t we lucky to live in a place that has such facilities for our little ones when they need some extra care. Sending strong and happy welcome home vibes to Baby Anders and strength vibes to you and Anders’ Pa. What a beautiful name.
Miss Peach

reluctant housewife
August 7th, 2006 2:00 pmI’m sorry that Anders isn’t home yet, and that your delivery seems to have been difficult. Now I feel like an ass for telling you not to worry about it.
But like others have said, we are fortunate that our little ones can get all the care they need.
Your family is in my thoughts. Can’t wait for all of you to be home together soon!

Many good vibes being sent your way!! Be well…

BeachMama
August 8th, 2006 6:30 amThoughts are with you. My sister went through a similar experience in February. Your little guy will be home with you before you know it and these first few days will seem like so long ago once he is home with you. Get some rest while you can and get ready for the arrival home.
Becky
