Happy 3 Months, Molly Alice!

And what a happy birthday it is!  Molly Alice came home from the hospital on March 15th, after 79 days there.  We are OVERJOYED to have her home.  Nothing, the good or the bad, is really what we expected when we were pregnant with our little bundle.  As prepared as we were to welcome her into the world, we had no idea how incredibly wonderful or how tremendously hard these first few months would be.  The highs have been amazing, the lows devastating, but here she is, home with us and healthy and happy as can be.  

3 month stats:
9 lbs. 2 oz, 21" long, with the biggest blue eyes you've ever seen.

"I'm going HOME?!"

All strapped into her car bed for the ride home!

Happy St. Patty's Day!  I'd rather eat corned beef than my bottle please!
