Shannon had baby Molly on September 1, just a couple of hours before midnight. Molly is 8 lbs 15 oz and about 20 inches tall. She is healthy and has brownish hair. Shannon asked me to post some pictures of Molly. Here are a few:
- Before Shot
- Pink Cocoon
- Little Feet
- Just Born
- Champion Nurser
- A New Sister
Shannon will be returning to her blog shortly, but for now you can read a little about the birth experience on my blog.








Hooray! When I saw your blog pop up on my feed reader, I was hoping it was the announcement.
Congratulations!
(I read the account on Tom’s blog: congrats on making it without the meds!)
BTW, I’m the oldest of four girls, and it’s pretty much the best!
Congrats! She looks beautiful as do you!
Beautiful, beautiful, BEAUTIFUL!! SO happy for you!
And, sidenote, your hair looks so cute grown out a bit longer!
Off to read the birth story….
What a little cutie! And Shannon, I’m loving your hair!
Yikes! I just read the hubby’s version and I just have to say that I love the choice of Marilla!
Hooray, she’s here! And you’re not pregnant any more!
What a fantastic job you’ve already done – she’s gorgeous, and will be a wonderful addition to your family.
Congratulations Shannon! I’m happy you were able to have the delivery you were hoping for and that she is here healthy. She’s adorable.
Congrats! What a beautiful baby!! And mom, you’re gorgeous! You picked a great name too — I have a Molly.
Congrats to all of you, what a beautiful story. I’m just entranced by the miracle of the whole process right now: your big round belly, your travail, your little baby…
ps Her name is fantastic. I also love your haircut!
Lovely name “Molly Marilla”! I am a BIG fan of Green Gables too. Congratulations on being able to do the birth (nearly all) your way!
What a great gift for a Labor Day weekend!
Dude, your belly was huge! Good thing you have such a sweet, beautiful baby to make up for that. I love Molly Marilla already and can’t wait to see her. Congratulations! I love you guys.
And I really love your hair too. The bangs & length are great for you. But I can see that you might need a flatiron. Did you ever get one?
So beautiful…both of you.
Congratulations to your cute family!!! I can’t wait to come see her. I think I’m losing my mind because I could have sworn you were having a boy. Love the pictures!
Love the pictures and your husband’s telling of the story. You, your family, her name…simply beautiful!
