How Do I Convert a Check To a Credit Card Payment in Quickbooks Premier Accountant Edition 2008?

Hi. We are Quickbook newbies and have inadvertently wrote checks to pay our credit cards instead of entering them in as credit card payments in Quickbooks.  We have already reconciled our bank statements for this year and would like to reconcile our credit card statements but our checks that we wrote are not showing up as payments in the right hand side of the reconciliation screen.  Is there a way we can convert the checks to credit card payments without unreconciling the bank statements, deleting the checks, re-entering the checks as credit card payments, and then reconciling the bank and credit card statements?
