Niki Taylor Shows Off Her Baby Bump

Niki Taylor and her husband, Burney Lamar, were trying for 18 months to get pregnant, and nothing was working.

“Every month it wasn’t happening, I was feeling more frantic. I needed to stop thinking about it — everybody was telling me this, including my doctor. I was so frustrated and worried.”

After another round of tests they were encouraged to keep trying and not use drugs to help them.

“I just decided, ‘Whatever,’” the model says. “Clomid was going to be the next thing we tried, in a year. I talked about it with [my manager] and she said, ‘Women were made to have babies. You are still producing eggs. You need to relax. Everything has checked out.’”

I know that I was told I would never get pregnant again and when I relaxed, that is when I got pregnant. Niki did the same thing…she started eating and sleeping better. And then she was able to reach for the pregnancy test. Then she found out she was pregnant!

Niki is due at the end of March with a baby girl and the couple couldn’t be happier. There could be complications in the delivery because of the accident she suffered in 2001. Doctors needed to rebuild “her back by implanting two steel rods to hold her spine together.” So between the two rods being right where she would need an epidural and the scar tissue on her abdomen the doctors might have troubles taking the baby out if a C-section is needed. Niki is confident and optimistic that everything will run smoothly.

“You know what? I had the worst pain I could imagine after the accident and surgeries,” she says. “I can do natural childbirth! So many people have been encouraging me … and I’m feeling really strong and optimistic about it.”

But, until the baby comes she’s enjoying getting ready for her arrival. That’s always the fun part!

“I am just really enjoying getting ready for the baby we have wanted so much,” she says. “I am a very blessed girl.”

I can’t wait to see that cute baby girl.
