As my maternity leave is nearing the end, I am dreading leaving Molly. I hate this time, but know that it is a necessity and that she will be well taken care of when I am at work. I did this fretting and dreading with both of my other girls. I miss my big girls when they are gone all day, but I can not be a stay-at-home Mom. Some people are just not made for that and I am one of them. But.....six weeks is not enough time to stay with your tiny little newborn that has just entered the world. She is just big enough and I still just sit and look at her in awe!

Today. Molly is 6 weeks old. She is staying awake more at a time now, and she loves to be talked to. She is a good sleeper and she eats good. She is still wearing newborn clothes, but will be outgrowing them really really soon.

Molly is so lucky to have so many people at home that love her so much. I am so lucky that everybody loves to help with Molly. She is already rotten and we wouldn't have it any other way.


Sadie is a big help. I think she would feed, change, and hold Molly 24 hours a day if I would let her. She is a wonderful big sister and will be a wonderful mother one day.

Sophie is proud to be a big sister and helps with Molly every chance she gets. Sophie calls herself the "medium sister." She also loves to kiss Molly. She sometimes just can't help herself. When she is near her, she kisses and kisses and kisses her.

Larry is a proud Daddy. He also is a great help with Molly. There is nothing he won't do and he loves his time with her. He talks to her and plays with her all the time. I love seeing him with her. I can tell she makes his heart melt.

Molly is perfect and makes our family complete. God hand picked her for us and I am so happy that she is here. I love her so much and can't wait for each and every stage of her life.
