Welcome to the Family Baby Taylor!

A long awaited for announcement!

Baby Taylor is here!
This morning at 7:41 a.m. Taylor Lyn Bradshaw was born at LDS Hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah.  She weighed in at 6 lbs. 7 oz. and was 20 inches long.
Taylor's Official Stats
I got the "grandma " call to come sleep over with Zac about 10:30 p.m. as Mark and Katie headed in to the hospital.  This is my second "grandma sleepover" in less than a month--I should be getting good at it but I find it hard to sleep with all the excitement and anticipation of a new baby coming!

We got the call announcing Taylor's birth and later that afternoon Kevin and I got to take Zac in to the hospital  to introduce him to his new little sister!
Grandpa Robins gets to hold first!
 Kevin is always a bit reluctant to hold a new baby but once Taylor was placed in his arms he immediately began to give her the details about her Mom and how she needed to "pay it forward".  It was such a tender moment!
Grandma Robins gets a turn.
 Next it was my turn for a snuggle!  I love the way new babies smell--so sweet and soft.  I always forget how very tiny they truly are and what a miracle it is to see perfect little bodies.  One of the great joys in life.
Zac holds Taylor for the first time.
 Zac was very tender as he cradled his new baby "seester" for the first time.  He gently gave her a kiss and then....he was done...
Enough of this baby stuff!
 What a blessing it is to have the safe arrival of Taylor Lyn Bradshaw!  We are grateful mother and baby are doing well and look forward to watching her grow.
Welcome to the family--Taylor Lyn Bradshaw!
