**TTGP Grad Check-In**

MrsNash37212

Good morning!

I had my 8 week ultrasound last week and it went great. Baby was measuring 2 days behind at my first ultrasound and I was slightly worried, but at the one last week it was measuring 2 days ahead and had a fabulous heartbeat! Here's a picture of our little gummy bear. The head is on the left and the body is to the right, facing forward. Hope to see lots of BFPs this week!

Hey ladies, Great to see so many pretty bellies!

Here's my latest, today at 34 weeks:

Baby girl is growing! I've been having some cramping and got checked. Apparently my cervix is softening a bit, which could mean something or it could mean nothing. I'm hoping she'll stay put for at least a few more weeks, but either way it's getting close!

Morning loves! I am loving all the BFPs lately, keep em coming! 

I have been busy trying to get ready to LO to get here. We are down to 7 weeks until our planned c/s! Our nursery is at a stand still right now since we are waiting for someone to come paint the room, and next weekend DH is stripping and refinishing our crib from DS. I do have all her clothes washed and I am going to be picking up the last few things we need in the next week few weeks. It is nice to start feeling more prepared and I feel like it will all come together in the end.

I had my first meeting with my new ob and he took me off bed rest! Yay! So I have been taking it easy and enjoying my new freedom. DS is much happier because of it too. I have another u/s on thursday and I'll be starting my weekly NST. Hard to believe we are already here!

Here is this my belly this morning at 32 weeks, PJs and all

Good morning ladies!  I don't know how many of you still remember me since so many have moved on, but here are my updates:

DH and I have our closing date set for our first home, 04/22.  We are so excited to be home owners before our baby girl arrives! 

We also decided on the name for our girl: Ivy.  We are still torn on the middle name.  I love Rae because it's my mom's middle name and DH likes Jane.  We will see!

I don't have any bump pics at work, but in my siggy is the most recent shot of her at 17w6d.  I hope you all are having a fantastic Tuesday and congrats to all who've gotten BFP's recently!!

 

Papps:  Good luck at your NT scan today!!  Fingers crossed!

Congratulations on your house, very exciting! And I love your name! I have a cousin named Ivy, very pretty!

I have been lurking so much and I miss you ladies!  I am still rooting for you-everyday.

I have my first u/s tomorrow at 3.  I am a nervous wreck about it!  I am hoping that my all day sickness is a good sign of a healthy baby.

No bump (besides bloat) or weight gain yet.  They don't want me to gain a lot anyway since I am overweight to begin with so I am happy with the scale right now.

ETA: My thyroid was in the 6 range so they upped my medication.  Hoping that we caught it early enough that it won't be an issue.

Hey lady!! I was just asking MT about you yesterday. I'm glad see you're doing well! Good luck tomorrow!

Sorry in advance for the lack of paragraphs I'm on my phone havent been on much due to getting bump blicked at work We are at 24weeks 3days today! I can't believe how time is flying by! I really wish I had a way to share pics as well, since the bump has definitely popped! other than that not lots going on! A/s went perfectly and I have my glucose test thus Thursday! Carson is kicking away! Only gripe I have is the acne I've got it on my arms and shoulders as well as my face....hoping to get it under control asap! My skin was pretty clear before with only occasional breakouts! But it's worth it for my little guy! miss everyone tons!

38 weeks, 3 days

Baby girl's "coming home" outfit. It is 74 years old!! My MIL wore it home from the hospital in 1937!

I have my 39 week appointment coming up this Friday, which is also my bday. As of last week, there was no progress. My doctor expects me to go past my due date.   I really want this little one to come on her own time, but I won't be allowed to go past 41 weeks, so here's hoping she gets her little butt into gear and starts to descend!!

Everyone looks soooo great!!!!

Natkay and AmandaLoren - I can't believe you guys are already in your 2nd tri!!!! How exciting! I'm looking forward to your anatomy scans!

Helloooooo ladies! Unfortunately I have no new updates, but I am going in for my NT Scan this morning! I'm once again nervous and excited (though more nervous).... I just hope everything turns out ok and baby is still alive and kicking!

I still lurk daily over here and hope for more BFP's soon! ((HUGS))

Baby Papps will be perfect and beautiful. Thinking of you! xo

Hi Ladies! Lots of BFP's around here and I'm so happy for all of you ladies especially my cycle buddy PURPLE!  SweetBoo I'm stalking you and know you're next!

This weekend I had my maternity pictures taken and my shower is this Sunday (my birthday is on Friday) so lots of celebrating!!! Hope everyone is well, here are a couple of the pics

Trishie143

I am so bad with bump pics & just pictures overall.  I will be 19 weeks on Thursday and cant believe I am almost half way there.  Our anatomy scan is in 9 days!!!!  It seemed like it was forever ago that we made the appointment.  We are so excited and cant wait to find out what is growing in there.  I keep getting girl vibes but then talk myself out of it because boys are so dominant in both sides of the family.  We will see in just a few short days.  Overall, I am feeling pretty good except for some lower back soreness.

On a non-baby related note...we are HOMEOWNERS!  DH and I closed on our house on Friday.  We are now all moved in and beginning the daunting task of unpacking.  Moving is not the best thing to do while pregnant.  A heating pad has been my best friend for days now.  At least unpacking and organizing will keep me busy and occupied so the next 8 days go quicker. 

Glad to see all the healthy and happy pregnancies and of course fingers are always crossed for some new BFPs!

mrsbaker1128

Good morning girls! We had another growth u/s this morning and the boys are looking perfect! And they're big! Baby A is 2lbs 4oz and Baby B is 2lbs 2oz, so right now they aren't showing any indication of TTTS! Yay! Also, Baby A is head down and he says that's a good sign that I may not have to have to a c-section because Baby B will more than likely follow!

He warned me to keep hydrated and I'm trying to constantly keep a bottle of water with me. I'm still having some BHs, but they are nothing like they were the night I was in L&D. I just gotta take it easy!

I got my first stranger comment today, well it was more from a co-worker I hardly ever speak to- so that counts as a stranger to me. I'm excited because now I'm looking pregnant and not fat

I had to go out and buy maternity clothes this past weekend, things have been very snug. They're so comfortable I wish I hadn't gone weeks without them.

I had my NT scan last friday. My measurements were "beautiful" according to the tech. I have the newest u/s pic in my siggy.

Hi Ladies and Good Morning!

This is so weird! But here I am!

Nothing new to report at all. I have my first u/s scheduled for April 15th, I'll be 6w5d.

lylahlove:

Amanda, your bump is so cute!

Papps, GL at your nt scan!

 We'll be 36 weeks tomorrow Just about everything is ready and we're enjoying these last few weeks as just us. 

 

Cute as always:) Can't wait to see baby Liam! Bet he is gonna be a little cutie!!

Good morning girls! 

I am 9w5d.  This weekend I had a bit of a scare and ended up in the er.  I went for an u/s yesterday to make sure everything was ok.  We got to see our little one!  DH was able to see a lot more than I was because of the way the lady had the screen tilted.  He said LO was waving and moving around some.  The doctor called late in the afternoon and told us that LO is perfect- 2.6cm long, 182bpm, and right on schedule (9w4d yesterday).  What an amazing blessing and relief. 

We go in for our NT scan on April 11.  I am hoping we will get some pictures or be able to record that one so we can share them. 

I am still battling with all day sickness, but some days are better than others.  I quickly discovered last night that my favorite Mexican is still very off limits. 

I have a little bloat and my pants are definitely too snug, but I have lost about 3 lbs. 

Looking forward to reading all the updates and seeing all the precious bumps! 

I'm glad things turned out fine for you!

dana1318a:

Hi girls!  I saw my OB Thursday and had an internal u/s (it was too early to see anything) so we scheduled another appointment for April 8th.  She also ran some blood tests.  We were concerned with my progesterone level because it could have contributed to our loss.  She gave me a prescription for Prometrium in the meantime until the results came in.  So Saturday evening she called to let me know she had my results.  Apparently <5 progesterone is very bad, >15 is very good, and everything in between could sort of go either way.  My level was 6, so she wanted to make sure I started the prescription to maintain pregnancy. 

I'm relieved because now I feel like I have a little more control, but I'm also pissed that they don't just do a standard test of progesterone levels for every pregnancy because it would have saved me a lot of heartache :  When you ladies get your BFPs (hopefully very soon!), ask your doctor if they'll test your progesterone just in case!  Hopefully if there's an issue you can get it under control before it's even a problem! 

I am so happy for you:) I am glad that you at least know what is going on and can take the meds to help!

Thats crazy! My mom has her coming home outfit in a shadow box hanging up. It was all crocheted.. I dont have mine though..I cant imagine 74 years! 

All you ladies look awesome..I know the farther I get, the farther the rest of you get but its crazy to see the progress!

Hi everyone, I haven't Checked in since my 1st tri.. So I'm not sure if anyone will remember me!   Anyhow.. finally reached the halfway point, the Anatomy Scan was last week and it's a boy!    Feeling ok, starting to get uncomfortable now and then.    Come on August!!!

Good morning ladies! I haven't done the Grad Check-In in quite awhile, since it seems there's rarely anything new to report. We just found out last week that we will be having a little boy! We're very excited. He's rollin' around in there quite a bit these days, and DH can even feel him every once in awhile. Sorry no bump pic today. I'm on Google Chrome, which won't let me post pics and I don't want to have to come back in and start over!

mrs.monica:

Here I am unaware my picture was being taken at the book club turned surprise "sprinkle" given by my neighborhood friends.  I haven't taken one this morning yet because I'm on spring break and still in my pjs.

I'm in the 20's now, as far as days...so that's good.  I'm tired but mostly feeling okay.  My parents are in town for my spring break so we are getting tons of stuff done.  I think I'm ready for little girl's arrival. 

 

Mrs. Monica - I can't believe you are so close! Where does the time go? You look adorable.
