2 month check up

Just a quick update. Molly went for her two month check-up today and did great! She was scheduled to have three shots today so I didn't know how that would all pan out. However, when the doctor gave her the shots, she was awesome. She cried for a minute tops and then fell right to sleep. I was so proud of my brave little girl! Here statics are as follows:

Weight: 10lbs, 3 ozs. (17%) range
Height: 22 inches ( 17%) range
Head: 14.75 (7 %) range
BMI: 14.8

Because she is so tall, she is considered under average but the doctor said it is nothing to worry about. He said she is so healthy and thriving! Plus, I do have to brag...when we went to see my OBGYN, so he could see Molly, he asked me if "Gerber" was knocking down the door for her to be the next poster child. I got a kick out of that. All I have to say is, "a star is born"! HA! ;)

Andrea's Baby shower weekend!

The weekend of July 18th was my friend Andrea's baby shower, in Atlanta. She is scheduled to have a baby boy named Seth Asher Gossett in September. Not too far way...Yeah! Kate was in town that week so Robert, Kate, mom, dad, Molly and I all carpooled to the ATL for the weekend. It was a nice trip and we were able to meet up with some good friends of ours from college. Below are some pictures of that event.



Here is a shot of Andrea with her sister Danielle in the nursery. Danielle designed the entire room to look like "Doctor Suess". It was really cute!!!
Here are all the VSU gals at the shower. Maggie, Andie, Amy, Kate and Lindsey. Go Blazers!

Cuddly Baby

I thought she looked so cute after we got her out of the bath, that I HAD to take some pictures.




Here she is falling asleep from a long day of playing under her activity mat.

She is dreaming!

Seven Weeks old!

It has been about seven weeks since my last post. Sorry Folks, been a bit busy with the wee little one. Well, she is not so little anymore! At birth, Molly weighed 6lbs, 4oz and she is now weighing in at a whopping 8lbs, 9oz. She just turned seven weeks yesterday. I can't believe where the time has gone. Seriously, it is going by too fast! I can't snap enough pictures these days. Molly is such a good baby and has a great personality already. She is now starting to smile so much more and really exploring her surroundings. We bought her an activity mat and she really enjoys playing under it. Also, she has been sleeping better. Of course, she has her late nights, but we haven't had an "all nighter" since her second week. Below are pictures from the last few weeks. I will try to post more frequently from now on.

We went to Savannah a few weeks ago when Matt, Liza, Mal and Matthew were in town.

THE "M" SQUAD!

I took these 1 month shots and will continue to take monthly shots until she is 1 years old. I got this great idea from a friend of mine who did the same thing. Thanks Jennifer!

Molly and I came in town this past weekend for a visit because Aunt "KK" Kate was in town from L.A. She hadn't seen Molly yet and came in for the week. Here we all are at the Olive Garden celebrating our birthdays. Happy Birthday Mom, Jimmy, Kate, Michelle (Kate's roommate in Cali.) and me!

Here is a picture of our Holy child "Mother Theresa"!

New Arrival! May baby, not June!!!!

Well, alot has happened since we last spoke! On Thursday, May 28th, 2009 we were blessed with the arrival of Molly Elizabeth Santiago. She came a week early and weighed in at 6lbs 4oz and is 19 1/2 inches long. She is absolutely beautiful and we are so excited to have her in our lives. Below are a few of the many many photos we have snapped of her so far. Robert and I are loading all our photos to Snap Fish soon so you can view more.

Strep B Test Results

Today I got back my results from my "Strep B" test and it came back negative. YEAH! I was so thankful because now I will not have to have antibiotics administered to me during labor and delivery. See, the "Strep B" is a natural bacteria that is present in 1 of every 3 women. You can't catch it or bring it upon yourself, it is just present for some women. If you are tested positive for it, then you are administered two doses of Penicillin during labor and then the baby is monitored for 48 hours after birth. I called today and my doctor said everything came back fine. Tomorrow, I will go for my next appointment. I will let everyone know how things are looking! Right now, I have three and a half weeks until Show Time!!!!!

Molly's bedroom

Here are some pictures of Molly's room. We decided that, since we are in the townhouse, we would not paint and just use wall art. We are going to wait and paint when we move into a house. The decorating came out really nice and I can't wait to bring her home. Of course it isn't complete yet...we still need the finishing touch...MOLLY!

Here is her bedding. We went with a pattern called "Sugar Plum" and it looks really great up against the Cherry furniture!

Here is a blanket that my mom embroidered for Molly. She did an amazing job!!

Molly's little bear!

The two bears that are sitting on top of the television set are "Love-a-lot-" and "Teddy". They are mine and Robert's bears when we were little. They will protect Molly at night! :)
