June TTGP Grad Check-In

*How long were you active on TTGP and when? TTC for 14 months and on the board from July 17'-Feb 18'

*How far along are you? Almost 19 weeks

*Which birth month board/due date? November 4th

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? PINK!

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

We do have a name... It's insanely popular right now. My DH and I agreed that we still love it though, and couldn't imagine using a different name. Her middle name will be my late grandmother's middle name. It just felt right. My grandmother passed just a few weeks before our BFP. She would've been over the moon about this baby...so this is kind of my tribute to her.

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

Guys, I can't even tell you how much i miss this board, and dang it... I'm so freaking happy to see so many familiar names in the tags! I'm always lurking over here and reading updates, and will continue to do so till I don't recognize a single person on this board. I have so much love for y'all. I honestly don't know if I could've gotten through this round of TTC without this board. I am constantly thinking and wishing for the best for those currently still in the thick of it. You're an amazing group of women...I hope y'all see all the love tits I'm leaving you

Still super nervous, though! I do miss TTGP and lurk here often, especially the IF thread...The app keeps refusing to let me LT things, so my support may not be as visible as I would like sometimes, but I’m definitely still following along and rooting for everyone!

*How long were you active on TTGP and when? 2 months June-August 2017

*How far along are you? I am 6 weeks PP today!

Amelia joined our family on April 25th.

TW- complicated birth story and PP complications

I was induced at 39+1 due to HG. I wasn’t keeping anything down and my OB thought it was what was best for me and baby because I was losing weight and had to receive IV fluids for dehydration. I was on Cytotec for 24 hours and walked 10 miles in the hospital with minimal progress. They started pitocin after 24 hours and I got an epidural. I made some progress and then my water broke on it’s own around hour 30. My epidural had to be redone because it wasn’t working on one side. It never really fully worked and I could feel an insane need to push after 39 hours of labor. My OB came in to check me and Amelia was sunny side up. He was able to turn her as much as possible before I started pushing. I pushed for about 30 minutes and then Amelia’s heart rate started to spike and she was getting stuck. My OB reviewer the options of the vacuum and forceps and what each would mean if we couldn’t get her out quickly. As this was happening, I started throwing up again and the force of vomiting pushed Amelia down enough for my OB to get the vacuum and get her out. Her cord was around her neck, but my OB was fast at getting it unwrapped and let me hold her right away and for about 5 minutes before DH cut the cord. I had a second degree tear. My nurse told me later that I was lucky my OB happened to be the one on call that day because most of them wouldn’t have tried to turn the baby and would have sent me straight to the OR. Amelia was jaundiced and we had to supplement with formula starting day 2 and stay longer than expected. That day I had the roommate from hell at the hospital and was so relieved when they agreed to discharge us at 11pm once Amelia’s bilirubin was out of the high risk range.

Amelia’a follow up pedi appointment was great and we started to wean from the supplements.

I started running a fever when she was a week old and went in to see my OB. They ran blood and urine tests but before the results came back, my fever spiked to 104 and I went to the ER. I have never been so scared in my life. They diagnosed me with a kidney infection and sent me home with antibiotics. I had to pump and dump for the meds they gave me in the ER and it was back to formula supplementing. The next day at 10pm my OB called me at home because my blood cultures came back and I was septic. He switched my antibiotic and I went back to follow up with him for additional injections and for a check up. DS also had a bout of pinkeye mixed in with all of this. My labs came back clean, but my stomach started having problems and had to follow up with my primary care doctor. I was diagnosed with C. Diff and was given antibiotics for that. The first one made me throw up and it was a battle to get insurance to cover the second one. Neither were breastfeeding safe and it was over two weeks of meds for me, so we are on all formula now. It was a hard decision but my body was so tired and my mental state was not great and it was the best decision for us. I finally finished the meds and my labs came back clean two days ago, so I’m just hoping that this nightmare is over and it doesn’t come back.

Amelia has been the sweetest and easiest baby through all of this and we’re so lucky to have her. DS is absolutely in love with her and watching them together gives me so much joy.

*Which birth month board/due date? Due April 30, active on May18

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Pink!

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We circled back to Amelia and I won the middle name battle, so my mom's maiden name is her middle name. My grandparents were very touched and I’m so glad we ended up using it.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Just that I’m happy to see so many familiar names on the grad threads recently. I still check back here often to see how everyone is. It’s such an amazing community.

coco2787 · June 2018

Thanks for starting this @catlady2015, I know your heart is hurting right now and I wish you were posting in this thread instead

*How long were you active on TTGP and when? 7 months- Sep 2017-April 2018

*How far along are you?

12w1d

*Which birth month board/due date?

Due date is December 18th

*Team Pink/Blue/Green?

Found out from NIPT that we are having a girl

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

No name yet

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

I wasn’t sure if I’d ever be able to post in this thread. This pregnancy has been a bit of a roller coaster. I had an empty sac at my first U/S and baby has been consistently measuring 4 days behind despite being sure of ovulation, but there was still a strong HB at 10 weeks so we’re optimistic things will turn out okay. I’ve been lurking the grad thread and it’s been so awesome to see so many IF and TTCAL grads. I’m rooting so hard for those of you who are still on this journey. I will forever be grateful for the ladies of TTCAL, I don’t think I could have made it without their unwavering support.

Only a couple more weeks to go! OB wants to induce me when I'm in my 39th week, so we'll see how that goes. Ready to have an outside baby, most definitely!

I'm super excited for the recent grads, and I'm sending my love to those who have had to come back recently
You guys have had some ridiculous drive-bys lately and have handled them like the champs you are. But I still want to send hugs to anyone who's been hurt by them. *hugs*

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

I am still just so grateful to be pregnant and trying to enjoy everything (even on the hard days). I'm also caught between feeling like we are so close to meeting him and feeling like I have so much to do to get ready still with his due date sneaking up!

As always I am lurking and rooting for new grads especially from IF and TTCAL. I so admire the amount of strength and grace that is evident in this board. You are all so fantastic and deserve the best.

I still try to check in here when I can, and I'm happy to see there were some grads recently!

*How long were you active on TTGP and when?

August 2017 - April 2018

*How far along are you? 9+2

*Which birth month board/due date?

January-19. EDD January 8th

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Finding out

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

We are going with Vincent for a boy, Allison for a girl. We've been set on these names since last go around so it was easy.

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

We had our first U/S at 6+1 which confirmed this go around LO was not ectopic again. That was a huge relief. Followed by the U/S had today at our 9 week appointment and saw baby wiggling around. I'm starting to let my guard down that this might actually happen. PGAL brain has definitely set in but I'm trying not to let it take over and steal all of my joy.

I miss all of you guys. It's just not the same. I'm always lurking TTGP and trying to follow everyone's journies. I'm hoping that so many more BFPs come . I'm especially rooting for the IF ladies and all of my TTCAL sisters. I've been devastated over the recent losses. My heart aches for all the loss moms, those yearning to be a mother, or completing your families and I'm always wishing for take home babies for all of you.

Xoxo

offtoneverland · June 2018

Thank you for starting this @catlady2015. I've been thinking about you.

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. My two favorite names are Sydney and Daphne, but we still have plenty of time and won't be picking a name officially until she's born.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I'm finally feeling comfortable with this pregnancy after learning at the anatomy scan that the baby is perfectly healthy. I feel so incredibly lucky to have gotten this far. I miss you all so much and I'm so excited to be recognizing more names on this thread. As PPs have said, I'll be lurking and love-titting until I no longer recognize any names on TTGP. To my TTCAL ladies, I think about you constantly and I'm hoping and praying for good things to come for all of you.

Still lurking and rooting for all of you ladies, so happy for the recent grads and can't wait to see more!

I miss this community so much. I'm recognizing fewer and fewer faces, which is fantastic, but you know I'm rooting for you ladies that still find yourselves here. The strength of ladies here makes me feel stronger as a woman. Keep being warriors!

[Deleted User] · June 2018

*How long were you active on TTGP and when? Long time... Dec 15 - Dec 17 had to think about that!*How far along are you? *26+5**Which birth month board/due date? Sept 9*Team Pink/Blue/Green?*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We have our girl first name but are going back and forth on the MN. Boys' names are harder and there's not one we seem to be able to settle on! :# *Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share?Hypnobirthing classes start later this month, we hired our doula, and a couple key things on the registry have been spoken for, which is a huge relief, bc I was starting to worry, there! My mom said she would get the infant carseat, and I'm so excited about our nursery chair, SIL is getting for us! But there is a long way to go till the room is ready... Currently we are undecided on a stroller, now that DH has decided to have an opinion on things! Lol I can't believe I'm at the doorstep of 3rd Tri.Guys. Every Team Green-er's worst nightmare. LSS, I dont know what team to call ourselves! I was trying to check the portal for the fetal echo report (which the MFM said looked great, day of, but I was hoping to see more than a, "thumbs up," and my MW still didn't have the report at our last [24 wk] apt.) Needless to say, the chromosome test results had not been redacted, I got an eyefull while scrolling through the chart online, and incidentally, there was no fetal echo report, either.So ATM, I am team, "convince DH to stay Team Green with our families and outside world," and he is team, "it's silly not to tell our families because now we know, and they want to know." ...But this literally just happened last night, so it's still very fresh, and we'll have to see what happens. Father's Day is coming up, so I mean, a part of me was thinking of telling family then, but it also opens up a whole can of worms with family who aren't local so... I just really think I'd rather just pretend we still don't know. :/ We'll talk more... But I do think it's cute that now that we found out, he wants to run out and shout it from the rooftops, so to speak. :wink: Oh, some glorious symptoms have kicked in, including carpal tunnel and plantar fasciitis. Whut? I just started wearing some fancy new Dansko shoes for work, so I'm hoping that helps, and I've been sleeping with a wrist brace as well. But baby keeps wriggling around and kicking up a storm in there, and I wouldn't trade it for the world! We still just feel the need to pinch ourselves sometimes... DH still can hardly believe s/he is real until we are holding our baby in our arms. ❤❤❤ PAIF / PGAL brain is real, but the struggle really does end, and I'm so so hopeful and praying for those still waiting!!!

wabash15 · June 2018

@BusinessWife sorry your portal wasn't redacted and you found out before you were hoping to. I repeatedly told my docs and US techs that I did not want to know and wanted to make sure it was NOT listed in the patient portals. I'm glad the baby is well though.

SoldiersMom · June 2018

*lurker*

Congratulations to all you recent grads and to you @mileswithmyles. I hope you are on the way to recovery.

@BusinessWife I sprained my ankle at 8 weeks and then developed plantar fasciitis in the same foot, so I had one good foot my entire 9 months. It does go away quickly though after you deliver. In the meantime, there is a night brace you can get that stretches your arch while you sleep. It's not sold in stores so you would need to see a foot doctor. Hope you find some relief!

zamoraspin · June 2018

Some TTGP grads who should be added to check-in -- @kariann323, @dragonette505, and @RVAmom315 -- all in Jan 19 BMB. They are all longtime TTGP contributors. They may not have done grad posts but I think most longtime TTGPer's know them.

BertieMeetsGertie · June 2018

*How long were you active on TTGP and when? June ‘16 - August ‘17

*How far along are you? Almost 3 weeks postpartum

*Which birth month board/due date? May BMB

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? We were team green until DH announces after the birth we have a sweet baby girl!

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. Vada Jo was born on May 21 at 41+1

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

I was induced at 41w with one round of cytotec and then started the pitocin. I got an epidural about 5 hours later and he had to redo it 3 times and give me 2 boosters before it kicked in. I was ready to push around 6pm and I pushed for FIVE HOURS. Baby girl wasn’t really descending and it was either the vacuum or csection. We chose the vacuum and she came out 2 pushes later! She was born a mere 36 minutes before her daddy’s birthday. She’s a very easy going baby and is as sweet as can be. We are adoring every minute with her.

Wishing you all the best and hoping your journeys on TTGP are short!

[Deleted User] · June 2018

@wabash15 yeah, I mentioned every chance I got, and it still ended up in the portal. Apparently, it's going to be brought up at their next staff meeting. :/

zwink1 · June 2018

Wwhhhaattt, how did I not know about @dragonette505!? Congratulations!

I'm sorry your portal results weren't redacted @businesswife. That's a crappy way to find out.

*How long were you active on TTGP and when? Sept 2016 - Jan 2018

*How far along are you? 23 wks

*Which birth month board/due date? Oct '18 - 10/5

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Green

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. Meh. Okay. We should probably talk about this more, but it has sort of been put on the back burner.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Nothing too exciting happening here. H is doing some hard core dad nesting, which is making up for my failure to start nesting yet, so I'm considering that a win.

Still keeping an eye on things over here - celebrating your victories, hoping for more good news, and sending my sympathy when you get bad news.

KariAnn323 · June 2018

Aww thank you @zamora_spin

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Finding out with NIPT

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We've had ours figured out for awhile and I don't think they'll be changing. DH is named after his grandfathers so he wanted to do the same thing for a boy (Alejandro Michael). For a girl we want to do family names so we came up with Joan Francis (my grandma's name and his grandma's name).

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Graduated from our RE Thursday so that was exciting.

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. Baby LuLu! (Louis Reuben if a boy, Talulla Jean if a girl)

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Nesting has started to set in this weekend and currently waiting on NIPT test results, had insurance system being down issues and was a slacker in general and put it off until this weeks appt.

Otherwise not much other than I'm always lurking which sounds super creepy and cheering you all on, especially the IFers and TTCALers, so much love to you ladies.

OMG @dragonette505! I need to go stalk her right now.

@BusinessWife What a bummer that you found out like that. Sorry...but it is kind of exciting that you know now.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Time is going by so quickly. We move a week from Friday and then I feel like it will be the final countdown. Baby boy is doing great and super active.

I think about you guys all the time and send you hope and strength. xo

mileswithmyles · June 2018

@SoldiersMom thank you. I ended up relapsing on Sunday and now I’m on a six week tapering course of antibtiotics. I’ll be restested two weeks after that, which puts me right when I’m supposed to return to work.

Pinky917 · June 2018

*How long were you active on TTGP and when? Summer 2016 (I can't remember exactly when I started participating on here) to Nov 2017

*Which birth month board/due date? July 15th

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. First name will be Hazel, middle name is still TBD

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? We had our second growth scan last week, and since all looked good we are officially off the watch list! This has been a huge relief, and now we just sit and wait for this little tater tot to make her debut. It seems crazy that this journey, which started over 2 years ago, will actually be reaching its end in about a month.

While I have not been lurking around here as much as I previously have, I am so happy to see some of the recent grads. I cannot wait until there is a time where there are no names that I recognize here, but until then I will always continue to root for those who are still here.

Team Pink/Blue/Green? I don't care what it will be, but I will def find out. Because I am no good at waiting.
How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. I have a list that I created a while ago for fun. I'll revisit it when I know the gender.
Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I am in absolute shock. My temps dipped hard yesterday, and I was sure AF was around the corner. They popped back up today and I decided to test.
Guys. I know that I was only here for a very short while, but you are some of the most amazing, supportive, caring women...I see what you post and what you say to each other. You genuinely care about the others on this board. I was glad to be part of this community these past two months.

1) this isn't the place to be announcing your BFP and 2) are we gonna call a 2 month poster a reg now? IMO not exactly cool posting this here or the weekly grad thread (however seeing as I'm not an active TTGPer that needs to be discussed among the active members). With all my heart congratulations @ladylindsey but you MIGHT want to take a moment to think about any ladies you're hurting by posting not once, but in two different spots about your BFP this morning.

@lurvleybunchococonuts I understand your point of view about posting in two different spots. For my part, I am okay with her being considered a reg as she has been very supportive of us on this board. If someone feels I am wrong or stepping on toes, please let me know.

I heartily apologize. It was not my intent at all. I will delete the one here. I only posted twice because I 1. wanted to share my excitement and 2. saw the second thread pop up after the first. I should have deleted then, and will delete now.

@ladylinsey but this is part of the reason why this board has the rules it does. When you just signed up for the bump a month and a half ago you don’t have enough time to become familiar with the culture of the board. Being here longer, you would have known that the “grad check in” thread is a way for us to stay updated on the pregnancies of people who have moved on from this board. This is probably the first time you’ve ever seen that thread even though we do it once a month since you were new to the forum when we did it in May. I think it’s good to hear you’ve given support to others but I feel like this also illustrates why we don’t have new members posts about pregnancies even if you’ve been trying before you started here because there’s aspects of the board that you still don’t know. Its not just about how long you’ve been tryin for or how much support you’ve given. I think if you weren’t here long enough to know this doesn’t belong here that you probably aren’t considered a “regular”. Also, if you were a regular you would know there is no need to dirty delete, especially after you’ve been quoted. Congrats, of course it’s something to be excited about, just wanted to highlight the other side of it so that’s just my two cents.

I completely understand. I am sorry for the mistake I made in posting not just once, but twice. I unfortunately can't undo what I have done, and I hate that I hurt others. Again, apologies for my error in posting. Truly.

*How long were you active on TTGP and when? July 17-Jan 18

*How far along are you? 26 weeks today, eep!

*Which birth month board/due date? Sept 2018/Sept 21

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Blue

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. When we found out it was a boy we had a discussion about names and settled on mutually liking Wesley or Isaac. We haven't discussed it much since then and I haven't felt a need to talk more or finalize the name. I think I want to see him before we decide. We may also add another name or two into the running. My husband shot down my dreams of using the name Jude so if you like it, please use it!

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Time is flying y'all. I can't believe I'm 26 weeks. My second trimester has been really good to me and I'm enjoying feeling this little dude move all the time.

*How long were you active on TTGP and when? September 2017 - February 2018 but lurked on and off for about a year before joining.

*How far along are you? 21 weeks and a bit

*Which birth month board/due date? October 28

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Green

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We are struggling with this - dh doesn't like anything I suggest and won't take the time to find names on his own. He was like this with our other two as well but we had hammered down names by now so I am starting to stress a bit as I am hoping it's not a rash decision at the end. He is starting to warm up to a few names finally so hopefully by next month we will have something a bit more concrete.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I can't believe we are already over the halfway mark - this has been a long journey and I am going to cherish these last few months. I miss the TTGP board so much but am so happy at how many names I recognize in the grad threads and on this check-in. I am always thinking of those of you still here and hoping you get to move on soon.

I hope it's okay to revive this thread on the last day of June since this will be my last check-in!

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

*How far along are you? 3+ weeks post partum

*Which birth month board/due date? EDD: June 2; born June 6

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Pink

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

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I posted my birth story on the June board since I know I used to be so bummed when TTGP grads moved to FB and didn't share their story on TB. It's been a crazy three weeks since she arrived so I haven't been able to check TB as often, but I'm excited to see there were some grads in my stalking absence. you all!!
