The couple had little noise makers and tiaras to celebrate the event.

"It was a fun experience," said Ryan. "This was better than fireworks. Every birth is special in some way, but this one is unforgettable." 

The couple did not expect to have Scarlett so close to midnight, but rather a few hours later. "We were delighted," said Ryan.
