My profile

I know that I am late getting to this lol, I was late this time last year when I was pregnant with my first. Its been a crazy, hectic and amazing first year with my son and I can't believe that I am right around the corner to giving birth to my second. My first is named Aidan Luther Taylor. The new baby is going to be named Zachary Sebastian Taylor. (I know, that's a lot of name for a little baby right??) But I like it and his father likes it, as he should since he picked it out. :-) I love this website because I think it is awesome for us pregnant women to be able to talk to others and be able to compare notes on all the changes that are taking place within our bodies. Even those of us who are having our second, third, fourth or who knows how many children, each pregnancy is truly different and things that we experienced in the first we don't in the following, and find ourselves trekking in new territory. I love that we can talk to other women who are walking the same steps at the same time.

I don't get a lot of time online these days like I did when I was pregnant with my son. That little guy keeps me hopping and guessing all the time. He did that before he even came into the world. I thought for sure that I would be able to have a relatively normal labor and delivery and it was anything but. My son has been stubborn from the start! lol. I was in labor with my first for 48 hours and ended up having to have a c-section in the end. He was 9lbs 13.9 oz and was 24 inches long when he was born. The doctors were amazed at his size. They weren't NEARLY as amazed as I am and that I was able to have someone so large inside of my body. There was no way he was coming out on his own. I only dilated to 5cm and that was it. He never even decended into my pelvis because he couldn't fit. A lot of people ask me if I had GD but it wasn't the case. Big babies run in our family and I Am hoping that Zachary doesn't put me down the same road as his bigger brother. I wanted to try for a VBAC but the further along I get, the more scared I am getting of trying, especially with getting pregnant only 3 months after the birth of my son. So if any of you ladies out there have gone through the same route and have any advice for me.... please let me know!! I am all ears.

Anyways... I do tend to go on once I get started. I should have been a novelist! I will wrap this up for now. If anyone has any questions, please feel free to ask. I am pretty much an open book. GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE!!
