Hi! I just wanted to share that I had a baby girl, Wed. May 17th, 6:01 am. She suprised us and came a tad early at 36 weeks. She was born at home after a quick and intense labor. Within an hour of her birth we decided she was just working to hard to breathe, so off to the hospital we went, where she spent her first 3 days in the NICU. It was the scariest thing we have ever been through, as we we never had any complications in any of our previous children. She weighed 6lbs. 13oz. (2lbs. smaller than my next smallest baby ever! :)) We came home on Saturday, and she is getting stronger every day. This is the first day I have all the kiddos alone, hubby went back to work yesterday, and MIL left last night. We are doing very well, and I'm loving every second of the joyful chaos of 8 children.

Congratulations, Lisbet! I am so glad she's getting stronger and you are all settling in. What happy chaos you'll have for a while. Take good care of yourself and keep us posted on the baby's progress. You have my prayers for plenty of rest for both of you.

Lisbet,
congratulations to you and your family on the birth of Molly Mae Very pleased to hear that after a scary beginning all went well. It must be strange having her here already before you were expecting her.
