She's Here!!!


Anna Lyn Taylor
Born: January 22, 2008
Weight: 7lbs 14oz
Height: 19.5 Inches
Hair Color: Black (no idea where that came from..)

So, this is my first post ever, and I'll keep it short since all of you just want to see pictures anyways.

As far as the Baby and the Mom go--they are doing great. Anna is just as gorgeous and darling as I ever could have imagined!! Nicole was a trooper and is recovering quite well.

So here's the short version of the story: We woke up at 2:45 (Nicole couldn't sleep and woke up at 2:00), so we could be to the hospital by 3:30. Being that it usually takes me about 30 minutes to wake up, I wasn't that alert while driving to the hospital and missed it. So, when I decided to flip a U-turn right in front of the Beverly Hills Police Station I thought "It's 3:00 am, it will be fine..". We'll of course we got pulled over (I guess both my lights were out), and for the first time in my life I actually got out of a ticket. All it took was taking my wife to be pregnant.

At the hospital everything went well, and at 6:40 pm Anna was born! So it was about 13 hours for Nicole and from the picture below you can tell how good she did!

So, where home now with big brother Josh and he's actually doing really well with baby Anna-- so far he loves her...we'll see how long it lasts :)

Anyways, here's a few pictures:





(this was 5 minutes after delivery - don't they both look great!)



She got a little mad during the bath and turned just a little red..


Don't know where that black hair came from...

YAY I am so excited! I am now even more excited to come visit ASAP! She is so cute, and your hair still looks great so like Justin said you must have had everything under control :-) Kinda funny about the black hair, in trying to imagine what she would look like I bet you never thought of that.

Congrats! Long labor, but worth it. What great pictures and a great hubby for posting them. That will be a fun story to tell her when she is older, about getting pulled over. Congrats to all of you!
