Announcing the arrival of.....

Taryn Elizabeth Weight
Born 10/11/2005
5:41 PM
4 lbs. 15 oz.
18 3/4 in.


We just wanted to let everyone know that we had our baby! We are so excited to have added to our family.

We are very thankful that everything went really well. Amy was induced but it took several hours for the pitocin to kick in. As soon as it did things moved fairly quick-Taryn was born two hours later. Despite the intense labor Amy recovered quickly. She was up and showering 2 hours after delivering Taryn.

Taryn was delivered 3 weeks early because she stopped growing (Don't know why). As a result, she is a fairly small baby. Cami has dolls bigger than Taryn. Despite that, she learned to eat right away and is doing really well. She did have a hard time breathing correctly in a car seat, which forced her to stay in the hospital a couple of extra days. While it was challenging for mom and dad, she did great and is home with her family.

Cami is really excited about having a baby sister. She is always looking for her and saying "Baby" or "Taryn". At one point, the nurses came and wheeled Taryn down the hall to do some tests and Cami stuck her head out the door and yelled "Baby" with definite worry in her voice. We just pray that she will adjust to having another child in the home.

We would like to thank everyone for their prayers on our behalf.


Taryn right after birth. You can see how small she is compared to the bulb syringe!

After the delivery. Cheryl, our midwife, is on the left. Mary, our nurse is on the right. Both of them were awesome.
