Layla Merrill






Layla Merrill arrived on Tuesday, February 5th at 1:02 pm. She was 8-2, 20.5 inches and a spitting image of her sisters. Eyebrows say another blondie. No hair. Very quick and easy delivery. No stitches for Mom. Good baby! More details to come. We are very happy!


She was a whopping 11 days early (I guess my OB was using 16th as due date so already scored major points with me!) Doc stripped my membranes on Monday afternoon and contractions started Tuesday at 3 am!

Congratulations Merrill Family! She is very cute and I love the name you picked. Who ever came up with the stripping of membranes were genius - it worked twice for us too!

CONGRATULATIONS! She is adorable! Love the name too...your daughters all have great names. I've been checking back regularly to see if you'd delivered. I'm sure you're happy to say you did. Can't wait to hear more.

I love the picture of Mark with the clock and time in the background. You'll always know how new she was in that picture. She DOES look just like Ava and Mia when they were babies!

Congratulations! She's adorable. How you fit an 8 lb. baby in you is the biggest miracle. So glad it all went well. I miss having a newborn! Those Merrill girls sure are beautiful.
