Taylor Stutsky officially holds the title of B.C.香蕉视频直播檚 New Year香蕉视频直播檚 Baby after being born just after the stroke of midnight on New Year香蕉视频直播檚 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.
香蕉视频直播淭he last push came out right at midnight,香蕉视频直播 chuckled Taylor香蕉视频直播檚 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 香蕉视频直播 where the egg is fertilized by sperm in a laboratory, before being placed in the uterus 香蕉视频直播 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.
香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 been a long journey,香蕉视频直播 said Travis.
Taylor was initially supposed to be born on January 20, but because Julia had a condition called cholestasis 香蕉视频直播 a disorder of the liver where bile flow is blocked香蕉视频直播 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.
香蕉视频直播淭aylor was not coming out yet,香蕉视频直播 laughed Travis. 香蕉视频直播淪he was kind of hung up on one side.香蕉视频直播
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.
