"Feeling Strange"
"I began to notice changes in my body during the last week of September. My breasts ached, my appetite was gone, and I was just really nauseous all the time. I could just kind of tell." -
"Pregnancy Test"
"I took a pregnancy test the first week of October, and it turned out positive. I was pregnant! My initial reaction was fear. I had never been in this sort of predicament before." -
"Halloween"
"Throughout the month of October, I was very back and forth about the pregnancy. I was nervous and unsure of whether I wanted to keep the baby. At first, I wasn't going to keep him. I felt that I wasn't ready and it wasn't time for me to have a baby. However, on Halloween I decided I could never go through with an abortion." -
"First Doctor's Appointment"
"I went to my first doctor's appointment during the first week of November, and I officially found out I was 11 weeks pregnant! At this point, I definitely decided this was the next step in my life. It was time to move on from the party scene and do more with myself than the nothingness I was doing." -
"It's a Boy!"
"At 16 weeks, I found out I would be having a baby boy." -
"Mid-Pregnancy"
"Throughout the pregnancy, I felt mostly sick. I was also still scared but happier and more excited. I had a lot of support from my family and friends so I knew I could pull through this and be alright. My lifestyle changed drastically. I was staying home every day as opposed to partying all night. I was worrying about getting the right vitamins and eating the right meals instead of what kind of beer I was going to drink. I won't lie - it was very hard on me - but it was all worth it at the end. -

"Baby Shower"

"Induced"
"I was induced into labor on my scheduled due date. I honestly did not know what to expect. I knew I was going into labor, but I didn't know what was going to happen. I didn't know if I was ready for the baby, I just knew I had to force myself to be ready." -
"Alejandro is Born!"
"Looking back on the labor process, it felt like I didn't go through anything at all." -
