'I just can't wait to take them home'
By Mary-Jane
EGAN, Free Press Reporter, Wed., May 10, 2006
When the newborn cries of Maia Cristina
VAGUEIRO rang through
a London hospital delivery room last week, parents Paul and Cristina
broke into tears of joy.
"But then I pulled it together," Paul said. "I had work to do."
Video camera in hand, Paul watched in awe as that first proclamation
of "It's a girl," was followed within a minute by another "It's
a girl," then "It's a boy," and finally, "It's a girl."
The VAGUEIROs' miracle quadruplets were letting out a chorus
of wails, assuring their apprehensive parents they had arrived
and that each had a healthy set of lungs.
And the news just keeps getting better.
Though the babies were born Friday by caesarean section, about
six weeks before their due date, they spent only four days in
St.…Joseph's Health Care's neo-natal intensive care unit before
being moved to a "progressive" ward.
The move is a sign they are doing remarkably well, said Renato
NATALE, associate chief of obstetrics for London hospitals, who
oversaw a team handling the quadruplets.
Most quads do well to stay 29 weeks in the womb,
NATALE said.
For Cristina to make it to 34 weeks and two days was "excellent,"
he said.
"I feel overjoyed," Cristina said yesterday from her hospital
bed as a doting Paul handed the infants back to nurses after
a brief photo shoot.
"They're perfect and I don't think words can express how I feel
about them. I just can't wait to take them home and start our
family."
They are, in order of birth:
- Maia Cristina, born May 5 at 10: 19 a.m., weighing four pounds.
- Hailey Nicole, Maia's identical twin, born 10: 20 a.m., weighing
three pounds, 13 ounces.
- Cole Alexander, born 10: 21 a.m., at three pounds, 12 ounces.
- Sarah Vanessa, Cole's fraternal twin, born 10: 22 a.m., at four
pounds, one ounce.
Cristina, drugged but conscious for the births, said the wails
from firstborn Maia ended months of anxiety for her and Paul,
who were shocked 10 weeks into the pregnancy to learn they were
having quadruplets.
The odds of conceiving quadruplets without the aid of fertility
drugs are one in 750,000, based on live births worldwide.
"As soon as they held her up and I heard her crying, I felt like,
'It's okay, it's okay,' " Cristina said.
The couple had been warned more than 90 per cent of quadruplets
are born prematurely, have a low birth weight and are at five
times greater risk of birth defects and disabilities.
"I realize how lucky we are," Cristina said of the healthy infants.
They'll likely remain in hospital another three weeks to ensure
they're feeding well and don't become jaundiced.
"It's like we prepared for the worst and hoped for the best and
we're so blessed that they're doing so well," she said.
Paul said emerging from the delivery room immediately after the
births -- caught on video -- was quite the sight.
"It was like a Boxing Day sale," the beaming new dad recalls.
"There were all these people, my family, Cristina's family, nursing
staff -- all cheering and giving me high-fives. Even the custodian
gave me a hug."
Cristina had spent eight weeks in hospital awaiting the births.
Though she's been aching to get home, she dreads the idea of
being discharged without her children. She'll likely be discharged
in days.
While she recovers from surgery, Paul has been on regular bottle-feeding
detail, using Cristina's pumped breast milk. Cristina has also
begun breastfeeding, which she describes as her first chance
to bond and cuddle the babies.
"Yesterday was the first time I actually felt like I was a mom
because I was able to breastfeed and give them a sponge bath,"
she said.
Cristina, 26, and Paul, 30, said they're grateful for the offers
of help, including a corporate donation of children's clothing,
since news of the young couple's instant family began spreading
two weeks ago.
But they're also well aware of the challenges before them.
Paul, a pharmaceutical sales rep for Novartis, who works from
home, had the basement of the family's home hurriedly refinished
to house his office to make room for a main-floor nursery. A new
van was purchased.
But diapers, change tables, formula, strollers, diaper pails,
receiving blankets -- the list is endless.
"We're going to take it one day at a time," Cristina said. "If
we look ahead to them being toddlers, the terrible twos, that's
overwhelming."

EGENER,
Norah - 90th birthday Thank You
The observance of my 90th birthday and the launch of my memoirs,
"A Force to Be Reckoned With" on January 14th was a joyous occasion
for me. I deeply appreciated the many people who came, some from
many miles away, to partake in the celebration. I was honoured
by the beautiful floral and plant arrangements, gifts of chocolate
and even singing salutations by members of the Canadian Federation
of University Women. In particular, I was touched by the numerous
cards expressing heartfelt sentiments. It is humbling to realize
the eftect one can have on the lives and aspirations of others.
I would like to thank the members of my family (traveling from
such divergent places as Washington D.C., Calgary, Alberta and
Boston) who worked together to decorate the venue and arrange
for the delicious food both at the party and at the family gathering
which followed. I treasure the kind words spoken by my two daughters
and son during the celebration. It is a day to remember with
pleasure and gratitude.
