BigBadWolf12

*How long were you active on TTGP and when? active from October 2015, regularly lurked about a year/year and a half before that. Less active (but still checked in and stuff) from August 2016-Jan 2016 after my loss

*How far along are you? 10+3

*Which birth month board/due date? Sept17 (due 24th)

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? not sure yet, can't wait to find out though!

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We've had our girl name picked since September 2015 and our boy name picked since July 2016. Hasn't changed, so I'd be surprised if they will, but anything is possible. Not sharing here yet

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? not really. Looking forward to getting to second tri because a) it will be second tri and b) I'll be past my first EDD (the dates are almost the same for 2nd tri starting and EDD#1)

Becky012016

*How long were you active on TTGP and when? Lurker April 16- July 16; active August16-December 16

*How far along are you? 12 weeks tomorrow

*Which birth month board/due date? September

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Team finding out 

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. I think have a girls name figured out and a boys middle name.  I'm not too keen on our current boy first name but we have plenty of time to figure it out.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? 

ColoradoHiker

Yay, I got the tag notification this month!!

*How long were you active on TTGP and when?  I lurked for most of September, and was active from October through the end of December.

*How far along are you?  12+5

*Which birth month board/due date?  S17/ 09.08.17

*Team Pink/Blue/Green?  Don't know yet, but we will be finding out!

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it.  Name picking is going to be tough.  Either it will be  a battle over a girl name, or we'll have no flipping clue for a boy name again.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share?  No questions or concerns so far.  We just had the NT scan yesterday, and everything looks great!  Baby is wiggling and having a good old time, heart rate and NT measurement were perfect.  My uterus hurts from being prodded, but otherwise that's it.  My nausea is finally, truly starting to go away.  I had it until 18w with DS, so I was worried about it this time around.  I miss all you ladies here on TTGP!

How long were you active on TTGP and when?

June 2016- Nov 2016

*How far along are you?
18 weeks tomorrow!

*Which birth month board/due date?
due date: Aug 3 17

*Team Pink/Blue/Green?
Team pink!!

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it.

We have picked a name, we're not sharing until she's born though. 

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share?
nothing really, it just feels so crazy that I'm already coming up on being half way done with this pregnancy!!

krys-2

*How long were you active on TTGP and when? Late March - early November 2016

*How far along are you? I'll go ahead and call it 20 weeks (Friday) #halfbaked

*Which birth month board/due date? July / July 21

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Blue!

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We've finally got a short list narrowed down, but no final decisions just yet. We're getting close, though...I think. LOL

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? We had our anatomy scan yesterday, which was really neat. The baby is rather large...ha. He's measuring about 2 weeks ahead right now. Nobody was concerned and everything was proportional, so we'll see in a month what everything looks like (they aren't changing my due date at this point). All my bloodwork has been perfect all along, and I'm really not gaining much weight myself - only about 6 lbs so far. So I guess we'll see. My husband said "I guess we're getting a linebacker instead of a wide receiver" LOL! Also super pumped that our nursery furniture was delivered yesterday. I'm really excited to start putting that room together, and not so excited about being at the point where we need to paint. Other than that, I've had a very uneventful pregnancy which I am super thankful for.

*How long were you active on TTGP and when?  All of 2016

*How far along are you? 16+1

*Which birth month board/due date? A17, 8/14

*Team Pink/Blue/Green?  Green!

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it.  We've mostly just been looking at family names, however, we have zero current favorites for a boy. We have plenty of time though!

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share?  I just scheduled my anatomy scan for the end of March and it seems that DH will actually be able to attend! He hasn't been at an ultrasound since the first one at 7 weeks and he is soooo excited! 
Everyone keeps telling us that they're "so sure this is a girl" and I always roll my eyes. This will be our first child and we haven't even had an ultrasound during the time that you might be able to tell. My MIL saw the picture from the 9 week ultrasound and said "I don't see anything there so I'm excited for a granddaughter!" And I literally couldn't even reply because I was so annoyed haha

crazypuglady

*How long were you active on TTGP and when? Lurked Sept-Oct 2016, active Nov 2016-Feb 2017

*How far along are you? 6W5D

*Which birth month board/due date? October, EDD 10/20 (for now)

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Finding out

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We're still sooooo early.. but we had a name conversation. I have a hard time with boy names, but I'm really drawn to Logan. DH likes it too, though wants to keep an open mind (which is fine.. we're not deciding this early.) For a girl I like Gianna, DH is cool w/ that too. He also likes Gabriella, but I don't so much. LONG way to go and we probably won't choose a name until we know the sex.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? My first Dr. appointment and ultrasound is tomorrow, so hoping to see a healthy baby and heartbeat. MS kicked in earlier this week and it's seriously awful. I don't know how I'm going to do this for weeks on end.

Neikoda

*How long were you active on TTGP and when? I was active Nov 2015 through July 2016.

*How far along are you? 35w today

*Which birth month board/due date? EDD was April 5th but it looks like that's changing.

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Pink

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We are 99% settled on Alexa Susan (Susan after DHs grandmother)

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Turns out the doctors want to induce me at 39 weeks due to my APS. There's a much higher risk of stillbirth as my pregnancy progresses and at that point she's safer out than in. So I am scheduled to start my induction Thursday, March 30th at 6pm. The doctor estimates she'll make her appearance 24-36 hours later. She measured in at 5lbs 1oz at my last scan and looks just like her daddy. Now it's just weekly NST scans until induction day which is right around the corner with only 4 weeks to go.

@Neikoda Oh my gosh, you are so close! So excited for you to get your take-home baby THIS MONTH!

So great to read your updates, everyone! It feels a little crazy for me to post here so soon but what the heck. Thanks for the tag @NYTino24

*How long were you active on TTGP and when? July 2016 - February 2017

*How far along are you? 4 + 5 but my betas are high enough (400+) that the nurse practitioner thinks I likely ovulated earlier than my chart indicates or had an early implanter. I have a u/s at the RE's next week at 5 + 6 and hope to have a better estimate of time and due date then. 

*Which birth month board/due date? By ovulation date, I think due date would be November 4, but I'm going to wait until my u/s to say for sure. I'm too anxious something is going to go wrong to join a BMB yet. I think I'll feel better after the u/s next week. Fortunately the progesterone supplements stopped my spotting so between that and betas, I am feeling a little more confident this could be real.

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? No way to know yet, but my symptoms are so bad so early that my mom is certain it's a boy  

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. Haven't even thought about it yet! We agreed not to do it until 12 weeks.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I miss you guys!!! I hope you all come to November so that we can hang out for the next 35 weeks.

mrs35

*How long were you active on TTGP and when?

July due July 4th now. *see other

*Team Pink/Blue/Green?
Blue!

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it.

His name is William Matthew but we will call him Liam

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share?
At my dating scan he was measuring a day ahead of my LMP but 4 days ahead according to ovulation. Now he is a week further ahead than he was then! Apparently I'm growing a giant. It's exciting and terrifying.. 

littlebug2010

*How long were you active on TTGP and when? July 16 to Dec 16

*How far along are you? 17 weeks 1 day! 

*Which birth month board/due date? Aug 8, 2017

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Finding out in 16 days! 

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. Havent really talked about it.  I think we are both waiting to know the sex to then start thinking about it.  I have one name I like, but not sure it fits. 

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Our Anatomy Scan is on the 17th.  We bought some baby clothes and im wearing maternity clothes.  It feels like its moving so fast! 

juliebeannn

*How long were you active on TTGP and when? I had moments of lurking and being active from May/June 2015 til December 2016 (still lurking). 

*How far along are you? 13+3

*Which birth month board/due date? September / 9-3

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? BLUE!

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We're working on it. DH wouldn't talk about until we found out the sex.  Now that we know, we both just randomly bring up names and the other vetoes or it goes on the maybe list.  We have a maybe list of about 4-5 names.  

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I'm so glad to be starting the second trimester!  Woohoo!! I hope the nausea gets the memo and starts to let up a bit. 

spiderlover25

*How long were you active on TTGP and when? Active from October-January 2017. I lurked a bit before that to get a hang of the board. 

*How far along are you? 11+5

*Which birth month board/due date? Sept 15

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? hoping to be team green but still trying to convince DH

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it.  We have a boy and name girl picked but they are not set in stone and we aren't sharing yet! 

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share?  I have been having a hard time with PGAL brain but I was able to find the heartbeat on the doppler last night and I'm starting to get excited that this might be our rainbow!

Thanks for the tag @NYTino24
*How long were you active on TTGP and when? Lurked starting in April '16, active June '16 - Oct '16

*How far along are you? 24 weeks (heeeey viability)

*Which birth month board/due date? June 21st/June '17 

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Team Green in the house! 

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. The boy name has been picked and settled on.  Middle name for a girl is done, but the first name is up in the air still.  DH has a girl name he loves, I am not sold.  I have one I like, but I'm not sold on that either.  We still have a ton of time so I'm not overly concerned yet.  If LO is a girl and we can't agree, DH is set on picking her name out of a hat.  I'm set on not letting it get to that point.  'How'd you get your name?' 'Oh my parents just picked it out of a hat.'  *eye roll*

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share?  Nothing crazy exciting over here and I'm grateful for that.  I miss all of you!!  

RedBreast35

Yay @Neikoda so close!!  I hope everything goes perfectly for you from now until she's here!

*How long were you active on TTGP and when? Lurking since Jan 2016, Active since Apr 16.

*How far along are you? Got a new EDD yesterday, so 9+6 (but measuring 10+4 )

*Which birth month board/due date? Sept 29, 2017

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Going to hold strong for Team Green!

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it.  Not even close to discussing it yet 

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share?  Had my first real OB appt yesterday after graduating from the RE!  PGAL brain has been haunting me since my BFP, but after a great appt yesterday, I think the anxiety is finally dying down.  And we told our parents yesterday!  
I miss you guys terribly and +1 to lurking you hardcore!!

delujm0

*How long were you active on TTGP and when? Started posting I think in June 2016 when we were still NTNP, took that through to my BFP in October (cycle 2/month 3 of active TTC)
 
*How far along are you? 24+5

*Which birth month board/due date? 6/16/17 - June '17

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Pink

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We're slacking this time...I have a list of 4-5 names, and DH has provided two...really unless it looks very wrong when she comes out we'll probably just use our "close second" name from when DD was born.  We haven't even negotiated a middle name yet.  I'm sure it will be fine.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Nope.  Had an uneventful 24 week appointment last week and go in again at 28 weeks for the GD test (ugh).  Feel her moving around a lot, and I'm looking very clearly pregnant now.  I kind of can't believe I'm going to have another kid in 3.5 months.  Miss you guys and rooting for all of you!

NamelessAria

*How long were you active on TTGP and when? About a year. September (Or August? Maybe I started in August?) 2015 till September 2016. I joined after I'd been TTC awhile (started TTC January 2015) since I'd kinda hit the point where I needed some support. I loved TTGP so much. I met so many wonderful ladies who helped me get through some really hard times.

*How far along are you? 25w5d

*Which birth month board/due date? June '17 BMB with an EDD of June 9.

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Blue!

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. I don't know! Every time I start to feel like maybe we're closing in a name something happens and we end up cross it off the list. Right now our top 2 first names are Elliot and Samuel. We're fairly set on the middle name Mathias or Matthias. We're still working on the spelling. I'm somewhat favoring Elliot and my husband is somewhat favoring Samuel. So I'm not sure how that will work out or if baby will end up with a totally different name.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Everything has been going really well so far. Gestational diabetes test at my 28 week appointment so hopefully that goes well. And I found out that I can't get the TDAP while pregnant. Apparently the reaction I had as a child was too severe to risk giving it to me again during pregnancy. So baby will be born without any immunity to anything in the TDAP. That makes me a little uncomfortable but it is what it is. In exciting not baby related news my husband won an all expensive paid trip to California for both of us so I have that coming up first week of April. I'm really excited. My husband and I never had a honeymoon and we've never been on a single vacation together. Ever. This will be the first time we get to go somewhere and do something fun with just us instead of it being a trip we're taking just to see family. AND my younger brother is coming to visit for Spring break! He's never been to visit in all the years I've been gone from home. I go out there when I can to see him but I don't see him nearly as often as I'd like. I'm so freaking exciting to have him planning a visit! I haven't seen him since last April. So lots of good things coming up and I couldn't be more excited and happy.

Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share?

DH got his dream job, so were moving back to Canada at the end of May! I have been super busy trying to get everything ready for the move. Also, I'm so excited that I get to do my second grad check in! I can't believe it's already March!

KirstinH88

@Neikoda Its great to hear how your pregnancy is progressing!
@NamelessAria Samuel is a great name  Where in CA are you headed for vacation?

*How long were you active on TTGP and when? May 2016 to August 2016. **TW I joined after I had my MC and needed support and guidance on charting.

*Question*

I participated on TTGP in 2015/2016. I then participated on this thread throughout my pregnancy. I am still being tagged (LO is 3.5 months). What is the consensus on continuing to post once you have had LO? I know historically most people just post during pregnancy. Is it something this board wants or not?

GeorgiaWife6912

Thanks for the tag @NYTino24  !! 

*How long were you active on TTGP and when? Lurked from June 2016, Posted from Aug 2016- November 2016 

*How far along are you? 19 weeks today 

*Which birth month board/due date? July '17/ July 26, 2017

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Pink! 

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. uhh... yeah.  We have 2 on our "maybe" list but this baby girl may not ever have a name.  I'm not sure we will ever agree.  DS has the same initials as DH so DH wants to give this LO the same initials as me.  Which, in theory I like but we are already having an awful time agreeing and limiting the letters just gives us less to choose from.  We'll see. Ha. 

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I have my a/s next thursday the 9th and I'm pretty anxious.  NIPT already came back with great results but the a/s can detect a whole lot more.  I think once I get past that point I will (hopefully) be able to let go of the anxieties that the beginning of this pregnancy has held for me.  I can't believe I'm almost halfway! 

MrsN092714

*How long were you active on TTGP and when?

I feel like we are pretty much set for either, although I find myself flopping on my girls name until I can't find anything else I like

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share?
I think I am finally starting to feel human again!  Between the MS and the never ending string of head colds, I am anxiously awaiting the second trimester. Energy boost!

I can finally stop being basic and just tell yall my kid's name: Jackson Patrick.  Even the hospital staff were badgering us to tell us the name, but I really wanted to tell the boy his name before I told anyone else!  After all that, I'm glad I kept his name a secret.  It was fun to have one thing that was just between me and my husband.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share?  It's great to see so many new names in the check-in!  Best wishes to everyone.

We dropped the envelope and a box off at Party City to fill with the appropriate color balloons that afternoon.  We had our Gender Reveal Party on Saturday and that's when we learned that we'll be having a little girl in July!

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? We stopped by Carter's on our way home from dinner yesterday because they're having a sale (fyi) and bought our first few items of clothing for our little girl! It was kind of exciting... actually, it was really exciting. I have little baby clothes hanging in my closet for a real baby that is mine!  It's so nice to see everyone doing well on this thread! I am frequently lurking and keeping my fingers crossed for all of you  

Cats*in*space

Thanks for the tag @NYTino24

How long were you active on TTGP and when? I lurked for so long, April 2015-May 2016, I built relationships with other users in my brain that don't actually exist.   Actively started participating in June 2016 (with a small break with MMC) through December 2016

How far along are you? 11 weeks today!

Which birth month board/due date? September BMB, 9/20/17

Team Pink/Blue/Green? We'll be finding out, ultrasound scheduled for May 4th.

How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. If it is a girl - Eleanor (Ellie) Louise.  No clue if it is a boy. 

Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share?  Very excited to be nearing the 2nd trimester.  We heard the heartbeat at our 8 week appointment, but next week we go back for doppler check-in, so that will make it feel 'official'.

*How long were you active on TTGP and when?  Summer 2016 - October 2016 (can't remember what month I started actively posting vs lurking)

*How far along are you? 25w

*Which birth month board/due date? June 17 BMB / June 14 EDD

*Team Pink/Blue/Green?  Green!

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it.  Well... we had names ready to go.  Aiden or Bridgette.  DH really wants to jump down our name list to Teagan for a girl and now the debate rages.  I like both,  but not sure now.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? GD Test is in 2 weeks and that has me nervous.  Otherwise, I will keep getting IUGR scans thanks to that pesky 2 vessel cord.

Thanks for the tag @NYTino24!

*How long were you active on TTGP and when? From February 2016 to about July 2016

*How far along are you? 26 weeks tomorrow

*Which birth month board/due date? June, 6/8 EDD

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Pink!

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We have one but aren't sharing beyond family for now. I will say we were those people who were certain we had a name picked out for a girl (for years) and when we found out the sex at the anatomy scan we just knew that wasn't her name. It was a little surprising to go back to the drawing board but we came to a new consensus easily.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share?  I appreciate being asked to check in! I want to put out there that I am pregnant with fibroids, which is not an issue I've seen super often around the boards, so if you have them and need to reach out to someone to ask questions or just compare experiences I'm happy to help!

Concern: @NYTino24 must have been exhausted after typing out all those tags!  What a good problem to have though

@m6agua I think we normally try to remove tags after we hear that LO was born because the post is copied the next month and been names are added. I started on this board in May 2016, so there are a few names at the top of the list that I don't recognize and haven't seen respond to check ins, so I haven't deleted them. That's why the question about when people were active was added. Since your LO is 3 months old, your BFP was over a year ago and I'm not sure there are too many people who would recognize you. It's up to you, but most questions are about active pregnancies. Thanks for checking in! We love our grads.

Thanks @NYTino24  for the tag!

*How long were you active on TTGP and when? Lurked Sept '15-April '16, then active April-Sept, and sporadic through Dec.

*How far along are you? 13+4 yahoo 2nd trimester!

*Which birth month board/due date? Sept/ due the 2nd, but will deliver in Aug.

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? We'll find out in April

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. Haven't started talking names yet. 

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I feel I'm finally getting to that point where I can believe all is well and these babies are going to make it. Had the NT scan today and they were moving all over the place. It was incredible and I am so thankful. DH also found both babies hbs on our doppler. We haven't tried ourselves till today b/c I didn't want to freak out if I couldn't find them. It was so wonderful and relaxed me for my scan this afternoon.

*How long were you active on TTGP and when? Feb16-Oct16. 9ish months. Formerly aliciabhen, and AliciaGoose.

*How far along are you? 24+1!

*Which birth month board/due date? June 20th!

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Pink 

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We know her first name. We're still ironing out middle names. And we're doing that annoying thing where even once we know we keep it a secret!

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? My baby shower invitations arrived today, and I'll be mailing them this weekend! I can't believe I'm at that point already. But I'm obviously super excited to be here. Especially since viability was yesterday! In not so fun news I was diagnosed with a superficial blood clot last week, so that hasn't been fun. It was only really painful for a day but now I have to take baby aspirin and use warm moist compresses 3x a day. I'm nervous about what it means in the grand scheme of things, but my doctor has been pretty reassuring that it doesn't actually mean I'm at a higher risk for a more dangerous blood clot.

I am so happy to see so many familiar faces/names in this thread that I didn't realize had graduated!

Hi everyone!  Still lurking here all the time, especially in the IF/testing thread!

*How long were you active on TTGP and when? August 2016-February 2017

*How far along are you? Approximately 5w3d - hope to have a better idea next week.

*Which birth month board/due date? Very end of October/very beginning of November - decided to participate in the Nov. BMB.

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Too early to know

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. No idea - we are just still so amazed I am pregnant! All we have thought about for 21 months is GETTING pregnant, now it's crazy to think about hopefully being parents before the end of this year.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? My second beta looked good in comparison to my first (187 to 935). They decided there was no need to do a third blood draw. My ultrasound is next week, 3/9/17. Fingers crossed that all looks well! I keep going from being overjoyed to waiting for the other shoe to drop - lots of emotions!

Cameron is what we've settled on

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share?
Super frustrated today, as I found out I didn't pass my GD screen and have to take the 3 hour next Wednesday. I know of all the issues to have with my pregnancy, this isn't that bad, but it is still super frustrating. 
On a positive note, I can't believe I'm so far along, the second half of the pregnancy, is really flying by!

I love reading this thread, it's full of so much happiness. Hope it's ok that I tag @feeislove and @jessafishy, would love to hear from them as well!

*How far along are you? 17+1

*Which birth month board/due date? August BMB/ due 8/9

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Team Blue!!!

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. This is sooo difficult! DH and I never agree on a name until the very end. We changed DS's middle name in the hospital. Hoping we can come to a decision a little sooner.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Looking forward to my A/S in 2 weeks and finally starting to buy things and set up my registry. DS is sooo excited to have a baby brother and asks daily when the baby will be here!

Thanks @NYTino24 !

*How long were you active on TTGP and when? Oct-Dec, lurked for a few months before that

*How far along are you? 14 weeks today!

*Which birth month board/due date? Aug 31, so I participate in both Aug & Sep 17, but more in Sep

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Green!

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We're coming up with a few options for both girl & boy and we'll decide when we meet them. 

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Team Green is especially hard right now. We did genetic screening, since I have genetic disorders in my family. All was negative, so LO is at low risk, thankfully. But all I have to do is click on a link in my email to find out the sex, and it's really hard not to click! Also, I have high blood pressure, and doc has scheduled weekly ultrasounds about 6 weeks out from my EDD, so I'm nervous I won't be able to avoid knowing the sex at that point. We shall see!
