On December 5th, 2005, my mother took a pregnancy test at home and at the doctor's, and they were both positive. January 5th, 2006, was the first ultrasound, during which they saw me and heard my heartbeat. On February 28th, 2006, they found out I was 95% a girl. My mom was very surprised. On March 14th, 2006, my name was picked: Samantha. -

The crib was set up. Chloe was picked as my middle name. My clothes were washed since it's getting closer to the third trimester. -
Braxton Hicks contractions, my due date was August 7th. My mom was able to make it to the last birthing class before I was born. -
I was born at 1:43 PM. I weighed 7lbs 10oz. My mom took me home the next day. I was breastfed and at two weeks old I got my first bath. -
Before my first birthday, I took my first steps on July 7th, 2007. -
July 28th, I said my first words, which were "mama". -
Around 1 1/2 years old, I decided to smear poop on the walls of my room, my crib, and on myself. I got a kick out of this. -
I was read to throughout my life. I was given many opportunities to learn words, colors, animals, etc. I was sung to. I had normal cognitive function as relayed by my mother. -
I started preschool -
At 2 years old I started potty training. -
in June 2010 I had my last day of pre-school. -
In 2010 I learned how to ride a bike -
I started school around these years so my cognitive development grew very much. -
During these years and the years on I was extremely shy but I still had many friends -
In 3rd through 6th grade I was in a Girl Scout troop this helped me be less shy -
From 2011-2012 I was in baseball, and this helped me to develop my strength and flexibility. -
during this year I started 1st grade which is when I started to read books by myself. -
In 3rd grade, we started tracking reading levels this helped me continue to try to get better at reading -
In second grade I started Gymnastics, which helped with my flexibility and balance, I ended up fracturing my toe in gymnastics. -
Around this time I would read a series of books pretty regularly this series was called "Diary of a Wimpy Kid". -
I have gotten better with math and learning since I started taking notes in my own way. -
I have made it a point to try to use new words every once in and while. -
I have depression and was diagnosed about 6 years ago, I have found a medication that works for me which helps a lot. I don't have many friends but the ones I do have are very special to me. -
I stopped exercising because I have hip dysplasia and I tore my labrum in my hip so it is painful to exercise as much as I used to.
