Taylor Stutsky officially holds the title of B.C.91裸聊视频檚 New Year91裸聊视频檚 Baby after being born just after the stroke of midnight on New Year91裸聊视频檚 Day.
And her parents, Julia Goryn and Travis Stutsky, could not be prouder.
The Maple Ridge residents are laughing at all the attention they have received since their six-pound, 14-ounce bundle of joy was born at Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminster.
91裸聊视频淭he last push came out right at midnight,91裸聊视频� chuckled Taylor91裸聊视频檚 31-year-old father from home.
The couple, who have lived in Maple Ridge for the past three years, went to Prague, capital of the Czech Republic, for an in vitro fertilization procedure 91裸聊视频� where the egg is fertilized by sperm in a laboratory, before being placed in the uterus 91裸聊视频� because, explained Travis, it was more affordable. The cost for the procedure, according to the Prague Fertility Centre, is a little more than $3,000 in the Czech Republic compared to about $10,000 in Canada.
91裸聊视频淚t91裸聊视频檚 been a long journey,91裸聊视频� said Travis.
Taylor was initially supposed to be born on January 20, but because Julia had a condition called cholestasis 91裸聊视频� a disorder of the liver where bile flow is blocked91裸聊视频� during her pregnancy, doctors decided to induce labour on December 30 for an early birth.
They chose to have Taylor at RCH because Julia worked there while in nursing school and the 36-year-old really liked the hospital.
After being induced, Julia ended up back at RCH at around 8 a.m. the following day when she started having contractions. At about 5 p.m. the same day, Julia was fully dilated and started pushing, but Taylor had other plans.
91裸聊视频淭aylor was not coming out yet,91裸聊视频� laughed Travis. 91裸聊视频淪he was kind of hung up on one side.91裸聊视频�
So Julia took a break before trying again. Then Julia took another break and switched positions, which moved Taylor to a better position. Julia then tried again at around 11:45 p.m., with Taylor being born seconds into the new year.

They picked the name Taylor because they wanted a name that began with a 91裸聊视频淭91裸聊视频�, to have the same initials as her father.
They also wanted a name that sounded American. However, although they are Swifties, the couple did not name her in honour of the famous star.

Travis couldn91裸聊视频檛 help but mention how amazing the experience was. He said they received tremendous care from everyone at RCH and are thankful for the support they received from all of the doctors and nurses 91裸聊视频� including the staff in Prague where they received the in vitro procedure.
91裸聊视频淚t was crazy,91裸聊视频� continued Travis of Taylor91裸聊视频檚 delivery, noting the whole delivery department was in the room cheering Julia on.
