Layla Dee Perriton

We feel so blessed to announce the birth of our new daughter Layla Dee Perriton. She was born November 15, 2008 at 7:19am. She was 8 pounds 6 oz and 20 inches long (10 days early). I started labor around 2:30pm and it really started to pick up around 1am. The contractions were never consistent as far as breaks in-between but they were for sure getting harder and longer as time went on. At 5am we went into the hospital and luckily they decided to keep me even though my contractions weren't close together. Thank goodness because she was born less then two hours later in under 3 minutes. Very different from Liam. It is amazing the sweet spirit these children bring into your life. We love her as though she has always been here. She has been a super good baby. We would love to include a picture of big brother Liam but he is taking his time to warm up to her. He hasn't been mean and told Josh that, "Baby sister so tute (cute)!" when they were driving in the car but is nervous to hold her. This morning he walked up to her and asked to hold her so I let him, he smiled and said, "She so tute!" and then said, "ALL DONE!" and ran off. Hopefully we will be able to catch them together in a picture soon. We feel so fortunate for all our Father in Heaven has blessed us with. We love you Layla and thank you for bringing your sweet spirit into our lives. Liam, you are a wonderful big brother.
