And then there were four...

Molly Sue Wolfe
Born Friday, Feb. 27 at 7:25 pm
4 lbs. and 14 oz.
16 inches long

I began bleeding around 5:30 Friday evening and Andy and I went to the emergency room. After seeing a tear in my placenta and signs of early labor on my ultrasound, Dr. Chitra decided it would be best to deliver Molly right away.

Less than an hour later, Molly was here in all her fuzzy-headed glory. She's very tiny, but she's really beautiful. She has a full head of dark brown hair and long legs and arms.

She has also become the poster child for a thriving premie in the NICU. She is breathing room air all on her own, being fed by a feeding tube and tolerating it very well, and sleeping peacefully. Andy and I were able to hold her today and we fell even more in love with her (if that's possible)!

In spite of being seven weeks early, Molly is doing incredibly well and we're looking forward to taking her home!
