Here you go mommies - a different kind of survey for a change - it's all about you and your first baby.



1. Were you married at the time?

Baeya who was only 5 months old at the time

December 14th,20th and 31st 2005 I think they were a little confused.

8lbs 6ozs. He was also a week late!

22.Did your child have any complications?
His heartbeat dropped between contractions and when they took him out they found the cord was wrapped around his neck and under his arm, so therefore I'm guessing is why I didn't ever dialate or drop.

Logan Russell (his middle name after my papa)
