32 Weeks

Gunnar Wolf is here! He came on 32 weeks 1 day. It is now 33 weeks 2 days and he is doing great in the NICU working on growing and eating! 
The most important part of this post is a note from Emily: please read it in detail.

 Dear Loved Ones of Chelsea and Dan,

This is Emily, (Chelsea’s best friend for those of you who haven’t met me) I don’t even have the words to express how excited and blessed I already am by sweet Gunnars appearance. I’m sure ya’ll are feeling the same way and want to do anything to make Dan and Chelsea’s life a little easier.

I’ve started a website (thanks to lovely Cousin Kara) where anyone can sign up to bring them dinner. You can sign up here : http://www.TakeThemAMeal.com ; the name is under: Turner and the code to sign up is: 2911   ( please make sure you read the notes since Chelsea does have some dietary restrictions)

Since Dan and Chelsea will be going back and forth to the hospital, I will be setting up a time once a week for people to drop off food. Please keep in mind that since we are having everyone drop off on one day for the week, freezable food would be the best!  If the set time doesn’t work for you, please let me know and I will ABSOLUTELY work something out/try to figure out a time when one of the Turners will be at the house.

Also, Dan and Chelsea are being so strong and brave and taking on a lot right now, so please be mindful and know that they appreciate all of the care and concern for Gunnar but they simply can’t respond to a million calls/texts/emails every day. I am HAPPY to answer any questions that you have (via text/call/email), or any of the immediate family on either side should be able to help answer your questions.  Please do not take this as, “don’t contact Chelsea or Dan” because they do need/want all of the love and support that they can get they have on their plates right now.

Since Gunnar arrived before the baby shower Chelsea and Dan are lacking a few of the essentials (which is okay since he will be in NICU for a little while).  If you would like to get them something before the “shower”, they are registered at Target and Buy Buy Baby.  We will still be having a party for Chelsea down the road but right now timing, etc. is up in the air. We will let you know as soon as details get solidified.

When in doubt about what you can do for the Turners, please pray. In times of turmoil and hardship Dan and Chelsea truly lean on the Lord for guidance and any prayers lifting them up are appreciated.

Thank you all in advance for helping make their lives a little easier, please contact me with any questions/concerns.
