Happy Birthday Taylor Wang Dayton--恭喜恭喜

Taylor Wang Dayton was born today at 7:53 AM. He weighed 8lbs, 11 oz., was 19.6" long and has a little bit of dark hair, as you can see. Mom is doing well and is pleased with how clean and nice American hospitals are. Her doctor wasn't bad either, she said!

The "blessing" of the delivery was that the uterus was only about 2mm and it should have been 5mm or more, but Jess and the baby were still fine--thanks to great doctoring. Dad said he was very glad that he did a C-section as labor would have ruptured the thin uterus. We are so glad that everyone is healthy and happy but Jess is a little sad that she will not ever be able to have a little girl (like that was ever going to be an option from me anyway!).

We don't have a Chinese name yet, but will work with a Hong Kong traditional astrologer/numerologist to select an auspicious and appropriate name based on date, time, family and "good" Chinese characters later this week--yup, that's really what we will do and did with Brien(泰东升).

PS. In case you were wondering, I'm doing fine too. Thanks for asking.
