Introducing Tayler Day!



Our baby girl #2 was born this weekend on Saturday afternoon! She and Shannon are both doing amazingly well. Shannon's recovery has been relatively, I dare say, comfortable; even requiring a few reminders yesterday to "sit down", "you just had a baby", and the like. And the baby is beautiful and healthy. The fast labor of about 4 1/2hrs aided both of them, I'm sure. Last time we spoke to much of the family we still didn't know her measurements, or her name for that matter, and we have yet to send/post a lot of pictures. So let's fix that. Here's the skinny:


Oops, wrong skinny. (This was Shannon's last pregnant picture as we were leaving for the hospital.) You were probably expecting something with respect to the baby:

We finally named her last night: Tayler Day Reed (Day is also her Grandma Reed's middle name)
She weighed 7lbs 2oz and measured 18in long (not including her sweet mohawk, dude)!

Ashlynn got to see her yesterday (Sunday) afternoon for the first time. She was SO intent on her; whimpering when Tayler whimpered, shaking her finger at nurses who attempted to wheel her out of the room, and SO excited to hold her as you'll see in the video...
