3 hours old




















A final photo before the baby came out. After this smile, everything came fast. Katy was great to watch, trying to be proper and polite while swearing like a docker.

This was a totally different experience than Nyssa's birth, which was an all day affair, where we were able to work out a rhythm and work as a team.
With Leila, Katy was so nausious and hurried, that she was more like a women you'd see on TV, "Gordon, brush your teeth." "Gordon, don't touch me like that...Like this!"




Just seconds after she was born, I've not even cut the umbilical cord yet.








































I take one quick nap, and my bloody and sticky daughter turns into a movie star. I've not yet held this clean darling, (I was only given the moister swaddled version) but I can't wait.










Katy and Leila are sleeping next to me, they are both doing wonderfully. Katy has been up and out of bed, she's eaten a little, and is in great spirits.
now for some video's


Oh! Her numbers:

Born 9.27.08 @ 3:30 Am (on the nose)
weight 8-15 Length 21 inches

She's a big girl, and already has feet about Nyssa's size.

I absolutely love hearing Leila's lusty cries! WOW, she's incredibly healthy and beautiful looking. I predict her to be very easy and laid back. Comes on time, on the weekend, no problems. Congrats and Love to all! Laura and Paul
