Baby Alexandria is Here!

Alexandria Ivette Crawford
The Beginning :-)
My name is Brianna Aguilar Crawford and I'm married to my husband Chace Crawford. You guys may know him as the actor who played Nate Archibald on Gossip Girl. We actually met on set there. I was the Set Medic and treated him one day that he injured himself on set. We started talking and dating from there and now have been happily married for 3 years. I found out my pregnancy quite early because we we're actually trying to get pregnant. I went in for a test at the doctor's office because I noticed that I had missed my period and sure enough I was pregnant. Thankfully I had a pretty smooth and healthy pregnancy with no complications. The story of how I went to labor is actually quite something. My husband and I were at a Mexican Restaurant to enjoy some Mexican food because it was Cinco de Mayo when my water broke out of nowhere. We got lucky that the restaurant was close to the hospital and rushed out to the hospital. I was in labor for 5 whole hours before Alexandria was born at 11:30 PM. Holding her for the first time was an amazing experience. I couldn't believe that I was holding a little life in my hands that I had created with the man I love. It was an inexplicable feeling. That was honestly the greatest moment in my life. I would love to experience this again. I would without a doubt get pregnant again. I honestly can't wait to have more little ones around the house.

New Belief
So this new thing is going around that apparently breastfeeding may be better but it still doesn't protect from allergies. A new search proved that it doesn't make a difference to breast feed or not in the sense of protection from allergies. I believe that this might be true but shouldn't make people lean more towards giving their baby formula. Breast feeding still has many benefits.
My Project Overview
It was very weird carrying a baby around for & days. I felt a little uncomfortable and it was a hustle trying to get around with the baby. I kinda felt like the baby was a burden. I also had to have my baby in my hands at all times which was a struggle. People looked at me strangely when I had the baby. My friends would laugh and make jokes about it but at the same time always wanted to hold the baby. My parents of course tried to make a lesson out of it. The thing I liked most about this project was making the baby and it being a new experience. My least favorite part was actually carrying around in passing period, during my classes and at lunch. The hardest part of the project was taking care of the baby and making sure nothing happened to it.
