Niki Taylor's life is truly blessed.

A decade after a near-fatal car crash that left her critically injured, the supermodel mama of three is now four months' pregnant with her fourth child.

We just caught up with the more gorgeous than ever Taylor to chat babies, business and who she credits for saving her life nearly 10 years ago...

How is the pregnancy going?
Amazing! I feel amazing. I don't feel like I'm pregnant, I just am always hungry. Everything, and everything bad! But it's going great.

You said you are craving sugar and carbs. Were those your cravings in the previous pregnancies, too?
[With] the boys, I craved meat, and with Ciel, my daughter, it was yeah, more sugar and carbs too.

Do you think you're having a girl then?
No idea. I really don't but I'm going to find out.

Tell us about your recent involvement with the American Red Cross.
[Today is]] the third annual partnership between NexCare Bandages and the American Red Cross, which thanks blood donors and also inspires others to give and it's in celebration of World Blood Donor Day...My involvement is personal for me because I was a recipient back in 2001 when I was in a car accident and I needed over 100 units of blood.

How blessed do you feel today?
I am incredibly blessed because of donors. It's all because of that doctor, that nurse, that school teacher, that college student, that volunteer that rolled up their sleeves and ultimately gave me that second chance at life.

And giving blood is so simple.
It's a simple thing to do. It doesn't hurt, it's a little pinch...It's 20 minutes maybe and you're ultimately giving the gift of life.
