Baby Grayson

Grayson James Taylor  

Our little man's due date was September 6th, and with me being 5 days late with our oldest neither of us thought Grayson would be early. At 38 weeks baby boy was still breech (I had been trying everything to get him to turn!) , which led us to having another ultrasound and a consult with a specialist. We had a 65% chance of an ECV working (an external cephalic version) where they manually flip the baby head down. The next day we went into the hospital for the procedure and it was a success! The whole thing took less than 5 minutes and he turned very easily!

Fast forward less than 72 hours and I woke up having cramping around 1 in the morning. It was not as strong as it was with Bennett so wasn't sure if it was labor or just Braxton Hicks. Turns out it was labor and within 5 hours baby boy had arrived, weighing 7 lbs and 19 inches long. I had heard the 2nd labor goes quick but I had no idea it would go that quickly!

Grayson ended up having an extended stay in the NICU as he caught an infection during delivery. It is definitely scary hearing your baby has to be in the NICU, but it made it easier having such amazing nurses for him. A week later we were able to bring him home and big brother is adjusting and loving having "baby brother" around. 

Babymoon

We were lucky enough to sneak away for a whole weekend a few months ago for our 2nd Babymoon. It is so important for us to get some time just the two of us, especially before baby #2 arrives! We chose to stay at the Omni Montelucia in Scottsdale since I had such a great experience there from my moms weekend in early June.

Yummy treats upon arrival at the resort

Upon arrival they brought us Martinellis and truffles, the perfect way to a preggo mamas heart! We kept the whole weekend very low key; laying by the pool, napping, movies and good food. It was just what we needed! I would highly recommend this resort; the staff is great, perfect location and incredibly romantic!!

First night out for dinner at Hopdoddy's

Pool day was so relaxing

The grounds of the resort were absolutely gorgeous

Bumpin with Baby Boy #2

With my first pregnancy I documented everything about it, including a ton of pictures. Second time around with a lot less energy and time I have majorly dropped the ball, and with this pregnancy coming to an end it was time to document at least some of it! Getting a two year old to cooperate for pictures is almost impossible but he was a trooper in the heat.  Only 3 more weeks to go until we meet our 2nd little man!

Baby Boy #2

I have been majorly slacking in posting ever since we found out Christmas morning that we are pregnant with our 2nd! My first pregnancy was great...no morning sickness, headaches, or basically anything resembling a pregnancy except my baby bump. This time around I swore it was a girl; my first trimester I felt sick, was incredibly exhausted, headaches, basically had it all. When we found out it was another boy it was definitely a shock. I am such a girly girl and wanted to experience that all with a daughter, but I am excited that our little guy will have a brother and that baby is healthy!
