NBC4's Kristine Varkony shares exciting new milestone for baby Mickey
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — NBC4 Today Traffic Anchor Kristine Varkony and her husband, Michael, are marking another milestone in their parenting journey with a major announcement about their son Mickey.
Months after arriving early, baby Mickey has grown strong enough to leave the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at the hospital. Kristine will be off-air for a little while to spend some long-awaited time at home with her 3-month-old.
Kristine and Michael first shared their joyous baby news in January after a challenging pregnancy. In a heartfelt social media post, Kristine announced Mickey’s birth and expressed gratitude for the support received during her hospitalization.
“Michael II ‘Mickey’ was born Saturday,” Kristine wrote. “We’re both going to take a while to recover from his very sudden birth, but are getting stronger every day.”
She also thanked the hospital’s NICU staff for their exceptional care, which was instrumental in Mickey’s progress. Additionally, Kristine shared some new photos of Mickey settling into his routine at home.
Kristine will be back on air later this spring.
