She was the first baby born at our hospital for 2008 - we made out with da gifts! 
My water broke at about 3:00 a.m. on the 1st, and I deliberated going to the hospital because I wasn't having contractions... but we called the doc and based on my history of labor, she told us to head on in just for giggles... Got there at 3:30 or so... contractions started at 5:00 a.m., Ayla joined us after three pushes at 5:50 a.m. - au natural, as planned! Less than an hour labor - goes well with the 89 minutes, 43 minutes, and 46 minutes for my last ones...
We were discharged at 10:30 a.m. that day and got home to cuddle our new one... my doc is so thrilled I was proactive in my care, knew when I could go home (less than five hours after she was born), and had the preparation to have EXACTLY the natural labor experience I planned on!
Thanks for reading, not very exciting I know... lol... so Ayla Kendra joined us 01/01/08 at 5:50 a.m., weighing a wonderful 8 lbs. 5.6 oz. with a head circumference of 14.5" and a length of 20.5". And another statistical anomoly - she arrived ON her due date!
I'm so thrilled to be holding her - finally!!!!!!!
