Molly Comes Home - First E-mail Sent


Howdy All -

This is very overdue but once I explain, I know you will forgive me.

We were due to deliver on March 25th as most of you know. The doctor did not think I would go much past that time but when I went to my weekly doctor's appointment on Monday March 17th, we ran into a few surprises. I will not bore you with all of the details but had gained this unbelievable amount of weight in a short amount of time, blood pressure was sky high and the swelling in my legs was out of control, so the doctor admitted me into the hospital to induce labor. We had no time to think..........as you can imagine.

Molly Fiona was born on Tuesday, March 18th at 6:14pm, weighing 7 lbs, 10 oz and 20 1/2 inches long.

Attached is a picture of Raymond and Molly and a picture of Molly on the day we could bring her home (Friday, March 21st).

It was a very crazy delivery and our stay was a little longer than expected. Baby is good, mommy is still recovering and daddy is very happy! Sorry it took so long and if I did not call you I am really, really sorry. Everything happened so fast and recovery is taking longer than expected. Hope everyone is safe and well. Call/E-mail if you like, we are at home now and please pass on if I have left someone out!

Raymond, Tracy and Molly
