The Happiest Day of Our Life!


Ryder Daniel Molnar was born on June 19Th 2008 at 12:41 p.m., weighing 7 lbs. 8 ozs. and 20 in. long. This day was the best day of his mommy and daddy's life.



My delivery was great. I think Danny enjoyed videotaping all 15 minutes of it. The c-section was easy and painless . The recovery wasn't bad either. For those of you who weren't aware, Ryder has an elevated AFP test when I was in my second trimester. The test meant he had a greater risk of having spina bifida. It was a scare during our pregnancy, but with a dozen ultrasounds, we felt pretty good about him being healthy. When he was born he had a dimple with scar tissue around it directly above his anus. He had an ultra sound in the hospital and they informed us his spine was fine. Everything had fused correctly, and the nerves in his back looked great. What a relief that was. So after months of praying, we have a healthy baby boy!

1st day home



Danny's mom stayed with us for a week after we got home from the hospital, WHAT A BIG HELP. She woke up with the baby and I in the middle of the night, every night. And our 1st night home was rough. I slept while Danny and Deby stayed up with Ryder from 10pm to 4am while he screamed. Thankfully he hasn't had any more nights like that! Thank you both so much for all the help! I love you!
