Growing The Owen Team

08/09/2023

I haven’t posted on here in awhile. So for those that aren’t friends with me personally on my Facebook. I thought I’d share baby walker with you! We are having a BOY and he’s growing to big a boy ole boy! Currently a little over 3lbs and measuring 8 days ahead! I posted a belly picture for reference.

I hope that anyone who has ever followed our journey knows that with a lot of hope and faith in the lord, a great support system and having a great fertility clinic behind you, great things can happen! Don’t give up on what you want and always try and stay positive. We will always be so thankful for all of the fundraising and donations that helped us get our little boy! It may have taken a lot of doctors appointments, surgeries, one IUI and two rounds of IVF, but we made it! Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts! 💙

❤️ 9 week 6 day ultrasound

03/30/2023

We graduated our fertility clinic today!! Baby was measuring 3 days ahead!! We are still using the original date because we know when the baby was made lol. We are 9 weeks and 6 days today. Due date October 27th! Once I get home this afternoon I’ll post the video of the baby moving around like crazy and more pictures! (Our clinic gave us a present)

I called my OB to make my first appt since I am realeased to their care now and they said go ahead and come today, so we go see them at 1:30! 🙂

I have been on progestrone injections since February 4th. That is one shot a day for the last 7 weeks. Not including the 3 shots a day for STIMS for two weeks prior to beginning progestrone! Today, we start the beginning process of weaning my body off of them. We will skip every other day starting tomorrow until our ultrasound appointment on Thursday the 30th and then we will completely stop the injections! To say I’m a little nervous is an understatement, but it is also bittersweet! We are approaching our graduation appointment and this journey we’ve been on for 3 years is finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel! 🙌🏼

Progestrone injections are supposed to help prevent early miscarriage and help the baby stay where it needs to be! Normally, when someone gets pregnant naturally, their body produces enough Progestrone. Well since we went through IVF, the body doesn’t really realize you’re pregnant early on so that is why they give you these injections is to make sure your levels are where they need to be to try and prevent miscarriage. My doctor kept me on them a few weeks longer than most just to be extra cautious considering what we have been through!

Please keep us in your prayers as we move forward into this pregnancy and that baby Owen keeps growing! We are 9 weeks pregnant today!💜

Today we are 6 Weeks and 6 Days and we got to hear the heartbeat for the first time! Heart rate was at 131!!! It was still a little quiet because we are still early, but it was strong and where they want it to be! We are measuring right on track, and everything looked perfect. Dr. Parry usually starts weaning you off of the progesterone injections around week 7-8. But he wants to be more cautious because of all that we have been through and keep me on them for another 3 weeks. I know it will all be worth it in the end! ❤️

Within the last week or so ALL of the side effects have hit. Everything smells so strongly and makes me super nauseated. There isn't a food or drink that sounds good anymore and it's hard to even drink water because I feel like it is trying to come right back up, but I'm trying! lol I will get past this eventually!☺️

We go back on March 30th for our 10 week ultrasound and will be able to GRADUATE the fertility clinic!!!! Which will release us to our OB for the remainder of the pregnancy 💕
