I had been having contractions off and on for a few weeks, but when they became very regular in the afternoon on Saturday, we started to wonder whether or not we would make it to our May 4th due date. At 9:30pm we were at the hospital being admitted for observation with my contractions coming every 3-4 minutes. My doctor decided that it would be best to go ahead and deliver Molly early, so with only 9 minutes to spare in the month, Molly Elizabeth made her way into the world weighing in at 6 pounds, 11 ounces and measuring 19 1/2 inches. Although she came a week earlier than her official due date, she measured the same length as her big brother and outweighed him by a whole ounce.
So far, Molly is a great little sleeper and eater. She has seen so many visitors already and has won their hearts. We may be a little biased, but we think she is perfect and her big brother thinks so too. We look forward to bringing her home on Tuesday afternoon.
