It IS a girl!
Molly Elizabeth Cheung was born at 10:15 last night. 7 pounds 12 ounces (we think, we sort of forgot, oops) and 20 inches. Totally adorable of course.
Thanks for all the good thoughts and prayers. I'll give you all the gory details later (because that is what blogs are for!) but for now I'll just say that everything went really well, I'm doing awesome, the baby was born somehow knowing how to latch (I KNOW!) and Phillip is recovering well from the finger-shaped bruises all over his hands which may or may not be from me.
I am off to eat my giant hospital breakfast and await our throngs of visitors.
love love love m and p and molly (and jack! he loves you too.)
(I have no idea if these pictures are showing up, by the way. Crossing my fingers...)
Congratulations!

Congratulations! She is beautiful! When you were debating between two names, I was guessing they were Molly and Josephine.

Geez, this is what I get for not checking blogs over the holiday weekend! What a perfect name for a perfect little baby. So sweet and simple! My niece is named Molly, and my middle name is Elizabeth, so I think it is completely perfect.
Hope you are all doing very well!

Oh, Congratulations! SO INCREDIBLY ADORABLE. You did good, mom! And what a perfect name. She is SUCH a Molly Elizabeth.
Hugs to all of you, and congratulations again.

I find it both amusing & appropriate that Molly was born on Labor Day.
Happy birthday, dearest Molly! :o)
