Noah Philip

Noah Philip was born on Monday, May 24th at 2:47 p.m. and weighed 9 lbs. I couldn't believe it! I guess the saying "everything is bigger in Texas" holds true:) Everything went very smooth and we could not ask for a better little guy. He is such a sweetie and sleeps almost through the night already!!! My kind of baby!
We are happy to be home and healthy! Lucy and Lincoln cannot give him enough hugs and kisses and they are always wanting to hold him. He doesn't seem to mind. Lucy is such a good little helper and I hope that will continue!! My mom has been here the last two weeks and left yesterday morning. I was SO glad she was here to get to greet Noah when he was born and help out with Lucy and Lincoln. She was a blessing to have here.
We hope all of you are doing well and we will post more pictures later. We love you all and miss you!

Next week

Hello everyone!!! Well, here I am...3 days to go and STILL NO BABY!!! I had an appt. and we've decided that we are having this baby FOR SURE Monday afternoon. I have a scheduled c-section for 2:30 Monday. I am relieved that there is an end and everything is planned but sad because I was so excited to call Nick and say "hurry home" or text and call all of you.
I am every emotion all balled in one...scared, excited, anxious, happy, and everything else you can think of.
Lucy was an emergency c-section and it was horrible experience. Lincoln was a v-bac and I was SO hoping for that. I know that this will work out just the same but the whole labor thing...I actually was looking forward to:)
Please pray that my nerves will be calmed and know that I can do this. And who knows...there are still 3 days left before MOnday. Anything is possible.
Also, please pray for Lucy. She will go next Friday for another set of ear tubes. I have been noticing her saying "what" alot. Well...wasn't sure if that was selective hearing or her really not hearing me. I requested a hearing test at school and she failed it. I took her to the dr. on Tuesday and she failed that test as well. We went to the ENT on Wed. and he cleaned out a good amount of wax from her ears and gave her yet another hearing test. She failed. She has significant hearing loss in both ears. She will get another set of tubes to open up her ear drums. With the way her ear drums are laying inside her ears, she isn't hearing like you and I do.
ANyway---just something else to be thinking about. Thanks for everyone's prayers and I will keep you all posted on Monday!!
We hope everyone has a great weekend. Love and miss you all--Molly

Almost there

Whew...what a ride these last 9 months have been. This pregnancy has been one tough cookie and we are SOOOO ready for this little man to join the Novotny family! I want my patience back...something I can't seem to find these last few weeks. I feel like such a bad mom but know that this isn't forever. I didn't feel this anxious with Lucy or Lincoln. I think because I have 2 others and want everything to be perfect and know that IT CAN'T!!! Let them mess up the house and run around and try to "help." I guess the house isn't in any order to begin with. We are trying to organize and make it feel like "home." It will come but I want everything done right away...something else I need to know that will come with T-I-M-E!!
Anyway--nothing really exciting here. Just wanted to complain a little bit...something I've been pretty good at lately!!! I miss you all and wish that we were closer so I could have all of your support. I have wonderful people here but it's like I keep saying...not home yet!!
Love, Molly
