Daddy and Daughter

Scott and Ayla at the hospital.

Scott and Ayla get some skin-to-skin time at home.
Ayla is howling here because she thinks Daddy has breast milk but is holding out.

Ayla Lee Taylor

Ayla Lee Taylor made her debut into the world on Sunday, February 1st, 2009, at 3:49 p.m. in Duluth, Minnesota. She weighted 6 pounds 13 ounces and was 20.3 inches long. 

Ayla was two weeks overdue and marginally beat a scheduled induction to begin on Sunday evening. I went into labor at 4 a.m. on Sunday morning; so all in all, I was in labor for under 12 hours. It was made extremely bearable by an epidural.

Scott and I, as all new parents believe, know that we have must have the most beautiful baby daughter. We are excited to figure out parenthood and watch our child grow into her own person. We thank everyone for their well wishes and hope to introduce you to the latest member of our family soon!
