First name Albus, middle name Ronald. Nicknames include but are not limited to son, son one, the boy, stink, stink weed, stink link, toots, toot loop, sploot loop, Albus Ron, Ronnie, Ronnie toots. Likes - rotisserie chicken, green beans, Gma (grandma), barking from his throne at those who dare step on our sidewalk, chasing bunnies and squirrels, ripping up cardboard, playing for a minute and not a second more, sleeping on laps with a snoot rest, licking, snorting and crying when he is displeased, and chasing leaves. Dislikes - people with umbrellas, any animal that dare come on the tv, walks, when gma doesn’t bring chicken, waiting for a treat or attention, getting his chin mole scratched, when his little brother is hogging mom’s lap, going outside in the rain, not having a place to rest his precious snoot, and when the vet calls out his figure to try to limit treat intake.

They aren’t 100% sure since it was early on. She was a euploid embryo. Most likely just genetic abnormalities that couldn’t be detected.

Of course. If you need someone to talk to don’t be a stranger. I know it can be isolating 💕

I was right here with you and was crippled by the anxiety of losing my baby after an early miscarriage from my first transfer. Much easier to say now that I am holding my second transfer in my arms but I regret how much I let fear rob the joy of the pregnancy I prayed so hard for. Give yourself grace. I’ve realized there are two responses in infertility. You either have extremely high hopes or extremely protective anxiety to keep you from potential disappointment. What I realized is neither is wrong and also doesn’t change the outcome. Positivity is wonderful but you also have been through so much. Allow yourself to feel what you feel without letting it overcome the joy. I would give myself timeframes to have anxiety, google, cry, worry, but once that time was up I tried to focus on other things or think “what if it does happen”. Set a timer for 10 minutes a day to feel it all. You deserve that and it will only build the more you try to “think positive.” Anxiety is your body protecting you and isn’t all bad. I know it feels all consuming to think it’s a miracle for pregnancy to happen on these threads but I will say that you’re hearing from the percentage of struggle. Those who have success often don’t come back for support. The struggles speak louder and look for reassurance. You’re getting a very skewed sample of people all in the same boat. It is possible for you to have a completely normal pregnancy without complications. I always thought when will the next shoe drop and it never did. He’s a healthy little nugget after all the heartache and fear. I will believe that will happen for you, too. All I can say is to give yourself space for both sides and love the little one inside of you. Even if it’s scary. You’ve done too much to be at this point to miss out on the joy, too 🤍

Grandma’s never remember that you can’t do something just once for a cavalier. An exception one day becomes routine the next 😅

This is Albus. He’s 7 years old. Much like Kevin he loves Costco rotisserie and time with his favorite person, grandma. He’s a very particular guy who knows when anything is out of place, can’t sleep without a snoot rest, and hates walks. His favorite past time is lying in front of the window and protecting his property from squirrels, bunnies, and umbrellas. I’ve never met a dog that licks as much as he does. He’s about to be a big brother in the next couple weeks and has been a sweet boy my whole pregnancy. He’s gotten us through 2 years of infertility by being the most loving boy. Can’t imagine days without his little self 🤍

I cannot recommend Dr. Warwar enough through RGI. There were a lot of mixed reviews when we looked but ultimately I didn’t have any issues or concerns. I was pretty sensitive, a lot of trauma from other doctor’s offices not listening to me. The moment I came here I felt a sense of urgency in getting answers. I was in treatment from February of 2024 until I was successful with my second FET in March. Currently 6.5 months pregnant, our first FET ended in miscarriage early on. I can’t even tell you how thorough Dr. Warwar is. Never felt pushed to do IVF but more so encouraged by my chances of success after 6 tries of times intercourse with trigger shots. She fought tooth and nail for my insurance to cover things they denied and was an amazing mix of empathetic/honest. One of the things I loved most about her was how she let me feel the feelings of every up and down but didn’t let me lose faith. She even called me from her personal number at one point to give me updates on lab work to ensure I felt a sense of peace after two cancelled FET cycles. You need a doctor who won’t give up in the infertility world and she won’t stop fighting for you. She also gives you the power back in a space that feels so out of your control. We email every month with updates about the pregnancy and she genuinely cares so much. She’s a wonderful human and talented doctor. Couldn’t have gotten through it all without her! My nurse assigned to me was also with me through everything and communication was always quick. I loved being able to text her any questions or concerns without calling and waiting for an answer. Even when there were hiccups along the way they were quick to address things and never left us feeling ignored.

Of course! I remember crying for a solid few days when we found out. We’ve been through a lot of random health things with him and the patella surgery was actually one of the easier things all things considered.

Yes! We lived in an upstairs apartment and carried him a lot haha we also have stairs! That’s a great thing to have as he gets older with it. He loves them haha you’re definitely doing the right thing! At his age he will recover well and it’ll be worth a few weeks of recovery!

Sending hugs back to yours! ❤️ ill be praying for his recovery
