My name is Tara and I am 25 years old, I am happily married to the love of my life and on Jan 31st 2008 we had our first baby (the full birth story is in my blogs). Our daughters name is Aurora and I am so lucky to be her Mommy ;o)
I have been a member of this site since I was 10 weeks pregnant with Aurora but have started a new profile. My Husband and I were expecting a second baby this spring but saddly we ended up loosing the pregnancy and so I wanted a new page for a fresh start.
Aurora is currently 7 months old and changes so much each and every day. You always hear people say "they grow so fast" but you never truly understand it until you become a parent yourself. I once heard a quote that said "having a baby is like giving your heart legs" and I truly believe that the love you have for your child is like no other I have ever known.
I look forward to each new day with her and once I have healed from this loss I will also be excited to TTC and start the pregnancy journey all over again ;o)
Update : On Nov. 16th one cycle after our loss my Husband and I found out we were expecting again. Our due date is July 25th 2009 and we could not be any happier.
Update: On July 4th 2009 I was induced. On July 5th 2009 at 3:33am Logan came into the world. He had a rough start and spent just under 2 weeks in the NICU. He was very sick and his health at times was very touch and go. We were at one point given a 40% chance of ever taking our beautiful baby home. How ever he fought hard and made it home a perfectly healthy and happy baby ;o) Having a baby in the NICU is the hardest thing I have ever been through in my life, I can not put into words what that experience was like. Logan is now 4 months old and not a day goes by that I do not think about how lucky I am to have him in my life, he is the strongest, bravest person I know. Aurora was 17 months old when Logan was born and she adjusted so well to the roll of being a big sister. She is very hands on and loves being around Logan, I am such a lucky Mommy. There has been no greater accomplishment in my life then becomming a Mother.
