After 38 weeks and 5 days of anticipating his arrival, our new baby made his way into our lives and our hearts. We call him Liam Chase Taylor, and he is wonderful.
I was admitted to Banner Gateway Hospital on the evening of June 5. My labor was as easy breezy as they get, since I had an epidural as a night cap and then went to sleep for the next six hours. When my doctor woke me at 6 am, he broke my water and things moved very quickly until Liam arrived at 7:11 am on Wednesday, June 6. He weighed 6 lbs. 13 oz. and was 20 in. long. His Apgar scores were 8-9. He was as sweet and as perfect as he could be.
Before: After:
My doctor was Dr. Russell Beck, and I felt that we were in great hands the whole time. He is a wonderful doctor, and I have total confidence in him.
Everyone said that he looked just like Jake. I’m not sure, but I see a little of Gabe and Bella in him too. Either way, he’s going to be a lady killer ;).
We celebrated Liam’s first day with a true birthday party, complete with decorations, flowers, party hats, cake, aunts, grandmas, and gifts. The gifts this time were from Liam to his brother and sisters as a way thank them for welcoming him into the family. And welcome him they did. I loved having my family surround me and Liam as we celebrated this amazing point in our life journey.
Two weeks and two days later, and I can honestly say my love has grown for him with each and every passing day. I love my little Liam, and I am so happy he decided to come into our family.
