Christmas and Little Sister Molly

Christmas came and went without a hitch. Lily received so many presents we ran out of room to keep it all in our apartment. We are excited to see how different next year's holidays will be. There have been so many babies born into this family its going to be a blast.



Mommy went to the hospital on Christmas Eve with the possibility of going into labor. I was dilated to 5cm but was able to go home since the contractions were irregular. I followed up on Tuesday for my regular weekly appointment. I was now dilated to about 6cm and the doctor said its just a matter of my water breaking. Since I was now 39wks he asked if I wanted to do and I quickly responded "INDUCE ME"! So the following morning we woke up and went to OB Triage. They tried sending me home because there were no beds open anywhere - literally. There were women in labor everywhere. To make a long story short - once my doctor broke my water I was fully dilated in less than 30mins and ready to push. The nurse had to track down my doctor because he was about to perform a c-section on another patient and I was going to have this baby any minute. As they rolled me into another room, I barely made out of the hallway, 3-5 pushes and out came Molly. The doctor barely had enough time to put his gloves on and I didn't even care. I told my nurses they were going to delivery my baby :) - whatever I had to do to make the pain stop. I had an epidural that did NOTHING for my pain. I felt every bit of it! The second pregnancy was quicker but much more painful.

Molly Jane Coyle
Born: December 29th 2010
Weight: 6lbs 15oz
Length: 19in

We are now a family of 4. Molly is settled in at home and things are going great. I don't even think Lily realized she has a sister yet. Thankfully she has been around so many babies that she doesn't seem to be phased one bit having Molly around.



On December 27th, Lily's cousin, "Kell Eric Coyle" was born. Congratulations Jason and Crystal on your new healthy boy! Sorry there are no pictures...we haven't exactly had a chance to meet him yet. But everyone is happy and healthy.
