We are happy to finally announce the birth of Molly! I say finally because it seemed like that last week or so of my pregnancy took forever! I felt continually let down with not going into labor, so I am so happy that it's over and she is here safe and sound. My doctor induced me two days before my due date for reasons unknown, except that it was convinient for her, so when she gave me the out of being induced I took it! So I still don't know what it's like to go to the hospital on my own, oh well. I was induced 10:30 pm and delivered Molly at 10:59 pm on September 28th. She weighed in at a whopping 8 lbs 10 oz! She is by far our biggest baby by a pound and a half. Kelly and Lydia were both 7.3. and 7.4. So we were shocked to say the least. Now we know why I was so darn big! The girls can't seem to get enough of her and want to hold her all the time. They are helpful and love to see Molly awake. Molly has been a pretty good baby so far. She is sleeping alright. I forgot how fun it is to have a new baby in the home. Sure the sleep isn't that great, but there's something about a newborn that I can't get enough of.
Before Molly came I was really nervous about having three children. I kept wondering if I will be capable of doing this. But now I feel like I can do this! After about a week by myself, I am proud to say I have kept my cool, and am getting things done. I haven't gone grocery shopping with them yet, or I haven't cooked dinner yet, but I feel like we have a good system here. That will probably all change I am sure when Molly gets older.
My pictures are out of order for some reason, and I don't want to switch them around.
Lydia and Molly. I love this picture.
