The newlyweds honeymooned in Mexico.
After a difficult pregnancy, Molly gave birth to Jason Jay Midyette on Dec. 17, 2005. Jason was small, having been born four to six weeks earlier than originally expected. The delivery was by cesarean section.
According to Dr. Jill Siegfried, the family's pediatrician, Jason wasn't gaining weight between his first few well-baby checkups like he should have been. When Dr. Siegfried saw Jason for those checkups, he screamed when she took off his diaper and tried to exam him.
"He wasn't an easy baby from the beginning," Goetting recalled during a recent interview with Crime Library. Molly told her law school classmate she thought Jason had stomach or gas problems. Still, despite complications during her pregnancy and her concerns about her son's health, Molly Midyette was a happy new mother. "Jason was her life," Goetting said.

A few weeks after Jason was born, Molly felt strong enough to go back to work part time. She had a job in Boulder, but, despite her law degree, she was not working as an attorney. When Molly was at work, Alex, who worked for his dad's property management company, stayed home and took care of the baby. The couple lived in a small three-bedroom house on Barbara Street in the nearby town of Louisville.
A little past noon on Feb. 24, one of Jason's parents—a subsequent police report says it was Molly, but Molly's friend Talia Goetting is sure it was Alex—called Dr. Siegfried's office in Boulder and left a message. Something was wrong with Jason. He "looked lethargic," the message said and was "not himself."
