It's that time again!

QOTW: Who was your first celebrity crush?

Hi ladies.

I am so bummed over some of the rough news some of you ladies have received over the last few weeks. I don't like to tag people on this thread so as not to cause more pain, but just know I am stalking you ladies constantly and so hoping you start getting good news soon. Sending BIG ((hugs)).

AFM -- I am almost 37 weeks which means this LO will be here before we know it.  Last weekend I packed my hospital bag and DH put the car seats in the car so we are ready for her to come.  I am in that weird place where I am getting really anxious to meet her, but on the other hand I want her to keep cooking as long as she needs.   

She is starting to get HEAVY which is really taking a toll on my back.  But other than that, all is well.  We decided on a middle name -- Ella.  So she will be Madison Ella.  Our last baby shower is Friday!  Then we just wait for her to get here. 

QOTW:  Neil Patrick Harris.  I used to have those Tiger Beat posters of him all over my walls.  I loved Doogie Howser.

Hey ladies, so I struggled with whether or not to post this but in the end I felt like if I just disappeared entirely someone mighty wonder where I went. And I would feel bad for not thanking you all for your kindness and help.

I graduated yesterday. I'm not entirely sure how it happened. The timing must have been horrible and my cycles haven't been long enough to make me think I was ovulating again (~15 day cycles) but it happened.

Thank you so much for welcoming me in. I was very wary of joining such a close knit group that knew light years more than me but you welcomed me in and we're willing to get to know me. It meant a lot to me. So thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for being so kind. I'll be lurking and rooting for everyone here.

Hi Ladies! I've been lurking (as usual "> ) and am sending you all lots of hugs!

I had my 16w check up today (I'm really only 15w5d) and heard the heartbeat. After my appointment was the first time I think I really relaxed so far! I finally feel like I got that "fertile" happiness where they never worry about anything! I feel very grateful that everything seems to be going well so far.

We decided to schedule an elective ultrasound and it's this weekend! We thought it would help me feel like it's "real" once we knew the sex and be able to be more excited. I am looking forward to it very much!

QOTW: I'm trying to remember! I know I had a crush on Justin timberlake but I might've been a little older for that. Maybe johnathon Taylor Thomas? I think! Haha, I can't rememeber!

Congratulations, @DaBearsFansWife‌!!

@ttuprincess‌ Wow! How exciting that baby is almost here! Congrats on picking her name! I hope you have a fun shower coming up!

@DaBearsFansWife‌ Hi! Congrats!! I remember you from when I was (briefly) on TTGP before going to 3T. What a wonderful surprise! I hope you have a great pregnancy!

@ttuprincess How in the world are you 37 weeks?!?!?!?!

gsancho

Congratulations, @DaBearsFansWife‌ !  

Not too much new with me.  We had our 14w appointment with the OB this week, but they didn't do an ultrasound.  After 2 years with the RE it was so weird to not have an ultrasound at a doctor's visit.  I'm officially in 2nd tri now - yay!    

QOTW: The hot guy from The Sandlot.  I don't even remember his name, but he was so dreamy.  Love that movie.

@gsancho haha I totally had a crush on him too!

ttuprincess

@gsancho -- YAY for being in second tri! Congrats!

@catlover790 -- thanks!  Enjoy the elective ultrasound. Hopefully baby gives up the goods! Can't wait to hear if you are team blue or team pink.

@ronniesgirl1981 -- ha ha. I ask myself that a lot. It has really flown by fast!

I'm also super excited to post, and definitely miss hanging out on 3T!

I am also 6 weeks today and went in for my first ultrasound after my IUI where I had 4 mature follicles, and found out we are having twins! We saw 2 very strong heartbeats today. My Beta today was over 22k, and everything has been doubling like it should, so I'm feeling ok about things. Still cautious of course being that I'm so early, but I was really trying to let myself be super excited today with the news

My first celeb crush was definitely Lance Bass from NSYNC. Even being all grown up the news that he was gay CRUSHED me. I still may not be over it......

Hi ladies! Sending a monsoon of warm squishy hugs. You're all in my thoughts more than you know, and I stalk your weekly check in when I can to see how all my girls are doing. I know several have had a tough few weeks, and I know (truly) how hard these next two months are with all the holidays, so please know I am rooting for you all in the shadows and hoping so hard for some good news.

AFM, I am 30w3d today and had a check up yesterday. Now we switch to appointment every 2 weeks - holy wow!

Everything looks great, fundal height is measuring on track, only 10 lbs of weight gain so far, blood pressure is excellent. I am beyond grateful and humbled that I have been lucky enough to have such an easy pregnancy (so far!). I am just starting to feel ready to have this baby actually be here, but it's still often more surreal that I am actually here at this point.

My parents are here this weekend to finalize the nursery, and we got back on Monday from a visit to my inlaws, where my MIL threw me a shower. I have to catch up on all the Thank You cards, but this baby has nearly everything he needs, and now just a few more details before our home is fully ready!
