Layla's born! 3-25-08


Baby Sisca was in no hurry to come out. 10 days late, Mommy had to be induced. Once the epidural kicked in, it was smooth sailing. Mommy was cool as a cucumber.

After 3 hours of partying in the delivery room, Baby Layla arrived! After the initial shock wore off that she wasn't a boy, Daddy couldn't wait to get his hands on her.



Layla looks like she is freezing on the scale. Barely weighing in at 6 pounds, 4 ounces.



Dr. Grano is a pro. Her cool and collective attitude in the delivery room made all the difference. I think she was just excited to see baby Layla as we were.

Back in the room, Mommy could forget getting her hands on Layla. Daddy is in love..


Later to find out he had bronchitis, Papa had to wear a mask. Nothing could keep him away from his first granchild.



Proud Nana Joyce was just as excited. She couldnt wait to help bring Baby Layla home!

Ava, Katie and Sam were more than amazed that Layla was a girl. A new little su-sister for them!John and Christine were next on the list. Everyone loved baby Layla..
The nurses at the hospital were great. After we figured out the car seat, they actually let us bring her home...












Mimi Di came to visit and Mommy and Daddy looking sleepy but happy...



There were lots of visitors for Layla! Sorry Layla, I know you're hungry, but Uncle Bobby has nothing for you..

Grandma Angela got little Layla time in the beginning, thats what happens when you're on your 12th Grandchild!
