Stacey's Baby Update - 14 weeks

My sister Stacey and her husband Jason are pregnant with their first child. I have blogged about them many times before! I can't say enough about them. They are just so amazing and will be the most perfect parents I know, aside from my mom and dad of course :)

She will be 14 weeks on Friday when we all get together for my mom's birthday, which I will blog about so stay tuned to see what this year's theme will be...last years was NYC!

So last week she went to the doctor and the doctor had already told her that this visit she might be able to tell the sex and if she did that it would probably only be about 80% accurate. So my sister is laying there...and I can picture her just so excited and anxious.....and the Sonogrammer....Sonographer...Sonography, haha I don't know, says "Wow it definitely looks like a boy!".....this next part is literally copied and pasted from my sisters blog because she knows all about it...."We talked about how boys genitalia is perpendicular to the backbone, girls is parallel and if it appears to be in the middle, that's where you can mistake it."

It is a............drum roll please.........BOY! Yay! All of us couldn't be more excited that Jaxon Slade AKA Jax will be joining our family in just a few months. Her due date is somewhere around June 10th...I'll have to check with her again, we haven't talked about due dates since her last visit and I'm not sure if they were able to give her a more accurate date.

The head is on the left...the little pacifier looking thing on the far right is his family jewels.

If someone were to show me this random sonogram picture, I could tell you who the father is...ok I take that back I can't really tell whats going on here, but if someone where to explain this picture to me and said: "He is laid back, one arm behind his head, other arm under his chin, legs crossed at the ankles"....I would know that this child belongs to my brother in law Jason...like father like son! I'm so excited for Jax to be born so I can see which (of my sister or Jason) he resembles, acts like, etc. I can't wait to see his personality. But from the looks of it he will be taking after Jas!

 

CONGRATS you guys! I love both of yall and little baby Jax!

Stacey's 8 Weeks Pregnant

I'm so excited for my sister, Stacey, and her husband, Jason, they are 8 weeks along in the journey to becoming the most amazing parents! I can't wait to meet my little baby nephew or niece!!

Congratulations and I love you both so much!

 

 

Baby Update for Stace

I am so happy for my sister, Stacey, and her husband, Jason! On Friday my sister had surgery to remove her eggs...they were told that 15 eggs were removed which is so exciting since they thought she only had 12. She is now starting a daily progesterone shot in the hip (ouchy!) They received a call from the Dr and he told them that out of the 15 eggs they took, 13 were mature. Mature means they are able to be fertilized. Then out of the 13, 10 of them fertilized and are now considered embryos!Yay! So they have 10 little babies in an incubator, staying warm, growing by the second. They will hear from the Dr again on Monday with the quality of each embryo and how many are still alive. I'm so happy for them and can't wait to hear what the news is...keep your fingers crossed and thanks for all the prayers!

This is a picture of her eggs

Stacey's Baby Making Process

My sister Stacey and her husband Jason have been trying to have a baby for so long now. They deserve a baby more than anyone I know. They both just have this unconditional love and are two of the sweetest people I have ever met. Stacey is now giving herself injections to help increase the amount of eggs her body can create. Here are a few pictures from the first morning she started the injections:

I pray every day that this process will work since so many in the past have not for them. Please keep them in your prayers!
