She's finally here! Brylee Joy Taylor was born into our family at 7:44 pm, Sunday December 7, 2008. She weighed 6 lbs. 11 oz, and was 19 1/2 inches long. Only 2 oz bigger than Madison was! I was so excited to see that I finally got one with my hair genes, because she has lots of dark hair! Lets hope she keeps it. We checked into the hospital around 3:00 pm, and overall I would say the labor went pretty well. Im happy to report that I was able to do it all naturally again, after being afraid I wouldnt be able to do it again.
Big sisters are all so excited she is here, and cant get enough of her. Alissa's comment in the hospital was that "she's soo cute and little...just like a kitten." They couldnt sleep last night while she was still at the hospital, because they missed her too much, and it was pure torture to Madison and Katelin to have to go to school today and wait longer to see her again. Zack is aware of the presence of a new baby, and is learning that he cant poke her eyes, sit on her, pull her out of her car seat and yank on her blanket when he wants to see her. It will be quite an adjustment for him. So far he is just having fun with it.
Mom and baby are doing well. Brylee does have to go back to the hospital tomorrow to get checked for jaundice and have her hearing screening re-done, since she failed it the first time. They said its probably due to the amount of meconium in the water before it broke. She was pretty full of mucus at birth. Its perfectly normal, but we are still anxious to hear a positive test result. Ever since we got home today, she has been sleeping. Of course she didnt sleep this soundly at the hospital, so Im pretty tired. But we promised pictures today, so here are a few. Thanks to everyone for your prayers and support!

Yay! Congrats you guys. She is beautiful. Does she look like Katelin's baby pictures? That is who she looks like to me.
She looks so so sweet. We are so happy you are well, and I hope everything goes well with the test. We will be praying for you.
Love you all so much.
I think she looks mostly like Zack did, but she has moments where she looks like all of them.
She is so beautiful. I love the dark hair. I also hope she keeps it. She definitely looks like a part of the family. I'm so glad things worked out okay. Keep posting pictures because she is going to change a lot in the next few months & it's hard not being able to see her. Get lots of sleep or at least try to.
She is so precious. I can see bits of all of the in her. She is a good mix. I love the dark hair. I also hope she keeps it. Try to keep the blog updated with pictures of her. She is going to change a lot and it is hard not being able to see her.
Great Job Ryan & Heather!
Well I don't know if my comment was posted but again she is beautiful.
She is gorgeous! You guys make cute kids!!! Congrats!!!
She is beautiful!! That is so great you were able to have her natural.. that's what I wanted to do but oh well.
We would have visited but with Abi's recent pink eye- and I came down with a very bad cold Sunday that I am still struggling with... so we won't be visiting until we are 100% better.
I can't wait to meet her.
Congratulations Taylors!!! I think she is way cuter than the picture of Ryan with the beard. Way to go Grizzly Adams.
She's beautiful Heather. I wish I looked as good as you do in the hospital....maybe more of us would have babies and let more pics be taken :) Let us know if there's anything you need!
YAY... Congrats Heather and family! We are all so happy for you guys. And congrats on doing it naturally, again. That is great! The pictures are great with all the kids and the baby. THey all look so proud to be the big sisters/brother. HOw exciting! Hope you have a speedy recovery!
