I am 27yrs old and live in Honolulu, HI with my husband who is in the air force. We are expecting our first baby towards the end of February (Feb. 25th) though I wouldn't be surprised if my little one decides to stay in longer. I sure did! (I was 3wks late).




June 27: BFP!!

BFP again! (it was a two-pack.. and i wanted to double check lol)
June 30:
Confirmed by clinic I am pregnant. Made OB appointment for July 10th
July 10:
First OB appointment: Confirmed pregnancy. Baby measured 6w4d, tentative due date of March 1st. Wants to re-check measurement in two weeks (July 24th).
July 24:
Second OB appointment: Another U/S showed healthy, growing baby. Baby now measuring 9w1d!! 4-5days older then we originally thought. New official due date of February 25th set. Next appointment August 28th.
August 28th:
Third OB appointment: (Currently 14wks 1 day) got another u/s! I think my doctor just skips the Doppler and does only u/s..fine by me! I like getting monthly pictures of my baby lol. Baby growing well with a heartbeat in the 150 range. Baby was even moving on screen! So cute! Anatomy scan scheduled for September 24th (18wks!) at a different clinic then 4th OB appointment on September 30th.
September 24th:
Had my anatomy scan at 18wks today. We got to see LOTS of our little baby BOY!. Yup, thats right, A BOY! I am soooo excited! So far the baby it looking nice and healthy! I go back in 4 weeks because the baby was moving too much and they couldnt get good images of his heart lol Next OB appointment is Sept. 30th.
September 30th: Regular OB appointment today. Weight gain is now up to 6lbs lol Doctor said that was right on track. Confirmed I can travel during 26-28wks to CA and PA. Took a quick peek via u/s to check on the heartbeat and he confirmed that the baby was a boy. Nothing much else in this appointment. Next on scheduled for September 23rd (day after 2nd anatomy scan appt).
