I thought about that, but that would have reduced my return by a lot (for now), and ultimately I would have had to mail it in still, when I added her in, correct?
Yes, you would have to mail the amended return. And the IRS currently says that it's taking more than 20 weeks to process an amended return (whether it's e-filed or mailed). I wouldn't recommend filing a return that you know is wrong, planning to amend it later.
By the way, have you established that you can, in fact, claim your daughter as a dependent, considering what NCperson said earlier? We've been focusing on the e-filing problem and not the requirements for claiming a dependent. You haven't posted enough information about your daughter for us to know whether you can legitimately claim her. Her age raises questions. You can use the tool at the following link on the IRS web site to determine whether you can claim your daughter as a dependent.
Whom May I Claim as a Dependent?
