Child of the Week

Zander

Zander

My name is Cori and after many years of telling people I was never having children, I met my husband, got married and four years later, gave birth to a healthy baby boy.  

My cousin introduced me to the Canadian Parents website, knowing that I would be doing a lot of research and getting info to help me with my fears of delivery.  

Zander was born on October 30th after a pretty easy labour but a scary delivery.  After my epidural, I was given Oxytocin and after two episodes of back to back contractions and baby's heart rate plummeting, they did a c-section.  I figured I would have to have a c-section anyway because I am built like my mom and she couldn't deliver babies naturally.  

Zander started out at 7lbs, 4oz, but when we brought him home he was under 7 lbs.  Now at almost a year old, he is well over 20 pounds and doing just great.

I always thought I would be a career woman but I've discovered that the only boss that I want to have is my child!  We are hoping to add to our family, likely only one more because I am almost 35 but that would be enough for us!  I've read so much good advise from other mom's on Canadianparents.com, it's an excellent community and you quickly learn that no matter what you are going through with your child, there is someone else out there that has gone through it too.  

Thanks CPO!
