February 13th - 1st OB/GYN visit. Got to see the baby via ultrasound. My boyfriend made me laugh and immediately after the baby kicked his/her legs and moved their arms. Most amazing thing I have ever seen.

February 23rd- Random morning sickness and cramps!! I was up at 4 in the morning, in pain all day and threw up! I had not had morning sickness at all until that morning. Called the OB and they thought it was the flu, but felt perfect after some more rest  

March 11th - 2nd OB visit. It was quick but I did get to hear the heart beat. My little one's at 160 BMP... The doctor said, "Congratulations, looks like you two are doing great." That just made me smile, knowing the baby's doing well and we're about to make it to the second trimester, thank goodness!!

May 6th- The big Ultrasound! I am having a little boy. It was amazing to see my little guy now that he actually looks like a little baby! He loved sucking his thumb and showing off his boy parts for us.

July 1st- Gestational diabetes testing, the drink they give you is awful! Scheduled my appointments for the remainder of the pregnancy, I will be seeing the doctor every two weeks now, I can't believe how fast this is all going! Makai is kicking like crazy, I've just started to be able to feel distinct parts of his little body, especially his feet when he stretches out. It is amazing, I cannot wait for him to be here!

September 15th- My little boy made his entrance into the world at 12:04 in the morning. He was 7lbs 6 ounces and 21 inches long! I was induced on the 14th after going to the OB for an appointment because I thought I mite be leaking amniotic fluid... although I was convinced it was just urine. They did a physical check and agreed that it was probably just urine, but when they looked under the microscope... surprise! We walked right over to labor and delivery and had my little guy about 12 hours later.
