Little Molly Ann

Well, we welcomed the newest member of our family on June 12, 2009 at 1:41 in the afternoon. Little Molly Ann van Uitert was born, all 7 lbs. 4 oz. of her. She was darling! She had a little bit of brown hair and had the cutest little face. Her nose looked like her brother Max and her lips looked like Sadie. She is a good mix and definitely fits into our family! Max was the one who thought of the name Molly. We were at the airport on our way home from Texas and he turned and said...."Mom I know what our baby's name is...it's Molly". Me and Brad looked at each other and had no complaints. We both really liked the name and it stuck. The kids called her Molly ever since. (Sadie says it more like Wawy, it 's cute.) Her middle name is after Brad's Mom, Karen Ann van Uitert. She couldn't be named after a better person. Karen is such a thoughtful and willing person, she is such an example to me and I am so happy we could keep that name in our family. Everything went well with the delivery. We went in at 8:00 in the morning and had her that afternoon. I'm so relieved to have a happy healthy baby. The kids have been so excited for her to come. Max had been counting down the days. "Only 5 days until Molly comes" he would say each day. They have been great little helpers. Sadie will throw away the dirty diapers and Max will get a clean one for me. They love to hold her and also love to drive me crazy while I'm nursing. They ask a million questions and wonder how this whole thing came about. It has actually gone a lot smoother than expected...knock on wood. Here is a few pics from the delivery day and the first few days home. We are so excited to have her and can't wait to watch her grow up!
