Mollie is here!

I'm still in the hospital and dont have my own computer so will post pictures when i get home, but our sweet Mollie is here!! I checked in yesterday at 8AM and by 10AM the doctors were able to get her turned and induced me. Poor Chad got really sick while the doctors were digging into my stomach trying to turn her and had to go sit down. It hurt pretty bad and i have lots of bruises...but it is better than the other option of a c-section!! After 10 they kept turning up my pitocin and got my epidural around noon. 45 minutes later i was ready to push and she arrived at 12:59 pm! Everything went SO fast! Only 3 hours of labor and I was so glad because it was very painful!
Mollie weighed 6lbs 10 oz. (just 1 ounce less than Carter) and 20.5 in. long. She has a ton of black hair and her little head is perfectly round. She is beautiful!!
As for me, I feel great! I didnt need ANY stitches and that makes ALL the difference! Just have the normal aches and pains of postpartum. Chad is loving his little girl. This morning she was a little cold so the nurse asked him to take off his shirt and cuddle with her and he LOVED the skin to skin cuddle time.
We are loving our little girl and I will post some pictures soon!

The Countdown

I went to the doctor yesterday for a regular checkup expecting Dr. Smith to tell me again that we would make it to my due date for sure and probably past....as he was checking me, i had some concerns that maybe the baby was face up instead of face down. He kinda chuckled and said that if she was there was nothing we could do about it at this point. Then i watched his face go from a smile to a frown. He then proceeded to tell me " I just felt a bottom! Hurry and get dressed!" So i pulled my clothes on and went in for an ultrasound and sure enough, our little Mollie is head up.
So...
Tuesday I have to go in at 8AM. He is going going to try to turn her and if he can then he would induce me. If he can't turn her then he would schedule a c-section right away unless i wanted to wait another week to see if she turned on her own. Chances of her turning on her own he said were slim to none. So we are PRAYING that she will either turn on her own or that the doctor will be able to flip her.
I am scared. If i think about it too much I cry. When I think about the baby finally being here though i can't help but SMILE! So many emotions! I feel like a crazy person! I thought i had everything ready to have a baby until i realize I only have 4 days left! SO much to do! I'm just trying to have faith that everything will work out and be positive about it!
So if i drop off the blogger world, now you all know why! We will post some pictures as soon as possible though!
