Baby Taryn is here

Taryn was born on May 25th at 4:32pm, at home, and she weighed 9lb 4oz and was 21 inches long.

right after birth

She was born on my dad's birthday.  It was pretty special since my dad and I are so close... and I almost had Luke on my dad's birthday (his is May 23rd).  He was just so excited.

This is my favorite picture.  The first time he asked to hold her.  

Taryn looks almost identical to Luke when he was a baby.  Sometimes my husband and I accidentally call her Luke especially in the middle of the night when we're tired. 

I loved my birth.  I'll have to write it down soon before I forget.  I'm really happy I choose to deliver at home.  It was a nice transition.  And, I feel way  better after this labor/delivery then I did with Luke.  I just feel like I'm recovering quicker. 

I suppose I could have blogged sooner but my husband has taken two weeks off work (tomorrow is his last day) and I just didn't want to spend much time on the actual computer.  I've just been using my iphone and I really think this is the second time I've been on it.   Oh, and we've had our hands full with two little ones I just haven't had much time.  I just wanted to write a quick one saying that she's here and we're one big happy (sleep deprived) family of four (and six if you count the cat and dog).
