*How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)? Nov 2020-Aug 2021
*How far along are you? 21+4
*Which birth month board/due date? April 2022
*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Green 💚
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We have contenders but aren't super committed to any of them. I have a feeling we won't be deciding until after the baby arrives.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Had my anatomy scan this past week and everything went well, just need to go back to get some extra imaging as baby was uncooperative. Unfortunately my grandmother passed over the weekend and we just had services yesterday, so that has been rough. Thinking of all of you daily and rooting for every single one of you
*How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)? 7 months
*How far along are you? 4w2d super duper early.
*Which birth month board/due date? Aug 2022
*Team Pink/Blue/Green?
We haven’t talked about it yet, but we’ll probably find out really hoping for a girl but happy either way
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it.
Mh is throwing some off the wall names at me and I’m hoping he’s not serious. We won’t seriously discuss it until later.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share?
When I hop on TB, I still come here first, out of habit. Not too much has been happening. I’m anxiously awaiting my appt on Monday, basically just to confirm and start betas. I’m feeling more optimistic this time! And I’m cheering you all on every single day! ❤️
*How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)? Dec '20-May '21
*How far along are you? 34w1d
*Which birth month board/due date? January 15
*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Pink
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We have one! We had her first name picked out before we even got married, ha. And we settled on a Hebrew name.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Just in the homestretch now. Baby was measuring big before, so I went for another growth scan at 33w and she was deemed "right on target" (knock wood) at 5 lbs, 2 oz (give or take). The not knowing when I am going to go into labor is anxiety inducing - I've also had a fair amount of friends who went pretty early, so I am a little anxious it's going to happen to me too. I am considering working from home exclusively until delivery since I have really intense pelvic pain and it hurts to get around, and I have started getting some pretty intense Braxton Hicks. I had been planning on working from home after our Christmas break anyway, which starts next week, so we'll see. It won't be long now!
Praying for all you ladies and hope to see your names on a BMB soon
*How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)? June 2019-may 2021
*How far along are you? 31+3
*Which birth month board/due date? February 2022, but the small group of active members have moved to Facebook recently.
*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Blue
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We have a first name, but dh is having cold feet so not sure if we’ll stick with it or not. 🙄 I did all of the name searches before now so I told him any new ideas had to be brought to me haha
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I have a date for my csection! January 28th, at 39 weeks! We have to be there at like 5 am. I have a countdown app on my phone because I’m extra, so we have 7 weeks, 3 days and a handful of hours. Which is wild! I’m still in shock that weve gotten this far tbh.
Sending love to all of my ttgp ladies, and rooting hard for those of you in IF. 💕
*How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)? About a year
*How far along are you? 7w1d
*Which birth month board/due date? July 24
*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Green
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We have some names kicking around, but none are certain yet.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I wanted to wait to do this update today because it was my first ultrasound, and it went great! Baby is measuring bang on track at 7w1d, and hb was 136, which is almost exactly in the middle of the normal range. I know we are not out of the woods yet, but it was a huge relief to get to this milestone.

Always lurking and hoping to see more BFPs from here! ❤️
*How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)? January-April 2021
*How far along are you? 36 weeks tomorrow
*Which birth month board/due date? January 5
*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Pink
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. Pretty sure we have a name, but are still open to other options, haha.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Just had an appt with my doctor and she floated the idea of scheduling an induction for 39 weeks, so I think we'll do that. A December baby would be nice for insurance reasons! And it would be nice to have a guaranteed end date. Otherwise, I'm dealing with a sick kid during my last two weeks of organizing/planning/Christmas shopping time, so I'm feeling the stress for sure.
Ugh I can’t get the app to make text bold 🙄
*How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)? July ‘21 - Oct ‘21

*Which birth month board/due date? June 25th
*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Green
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. Not yet!
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? My ob appt went well last week. Not pg related, but last weekend I finished my MBA program! I also accepted a new role at my company and am really looking forward to the change.
Still lurking and crossing everything for the ladies on this board!
How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)? May-Nov 2021
*How far along are you? 9w4d
*Which birth month board/due date? Due July 15th
*Team Pink/Blue/Green? We're officially green (I've always been team green but was leaving the ultimate call up to H).
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. Psh. Horribly. We have exactly 0, but we have plenty of time. H has vetoed the only girl name I currently like, and I have nothing on the boy front.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Not much going on here. OB did find a SCH on my u/s last week, which explained some of the bleeding issues I was having, so that was actually a relief...and makes sense given that they were keeping an eye on a pocket of fluid/blood when they were doing the scans for the FET. Other than that not much going on yet. OB confirmed at my initial appt that they won't let FET pregnancies go past the due date, so baby is showing up by 7/15 one way or another.
I continue to lurk and keep the IF ladies in my thoughts. I hope you all mass exodus out of here asap.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Had our shower virtually a couple weeks ago and the nursery is now fully stocked (even the crib finally arrived!). It finally hit us that we're counting down now and she'll be here so soon.
Congrats to all the familiar faces I've seen checking in here, and FX for everyone to get that BFP soon ❤️❤️❤️
