Ricola:

Good morning, TTGP! I hope all is well. Kdg, I have my fingers crossed for you!

I am 10 weeks today and the m/s has been nice to me since about a week now. I had another u/s last Thursday and baby had a nice heart beat of 150. I got a whole bag full of toys and blankets from my SIL this weekend, so we got the stack started. Our NT scan is scheduled for 6/14 and I'm looking forward to seeing our LO again.

Time flies by!  GL with the NT scan, sweetie!

Hi ladies!

Im 10 weeks today (me and Riccola have the same EDD ;-) ). I heard the H/B on our fetal doppler last week and it was a happy 160-172. So far so good. I havent had horrible m/s (just nausea on occasion, no vomiting). But the headaches have been pretty rough on me. Either way Ill take them. I can feel my uterus now but Im not really showing at all unless I eat a lot, which means bloat not baby. Looking forward to the end of first tri which is now in sight!

I have another appt with my OB next week, nothing super fun b/c she doesnt have an u/s machine, but I hope to have a date for my NT scan after that. 

Hope everyone is doing well and Im so glad to see so many graduates recently! A special congrats to Gregermis who I am just THRILLED for!

Wow, Cat!  That is insane!  I hope you can continue to breeze through for a while longer.  Yay for you wearing a bikini, hot mama!

Thanks! DH is all about the bikinis....he's so funny. I've been very blessed to have mostly gained in my belly this time around, so they fit relatively normally.

I am always hoping and watching you, girl! I hope the lap earlier this month was your lucky charm and you're posting on this thread soon. It's been long enough! And your GTG pics are adorable-you guys are so cute!

Morning ladies

I will hit 20 weeks this Thursday and I am just so thankful every single day. I sometimes feel what I think might be movement but who am I kidding...I have no freaking idea if it is or not. I also have an anterior placenta...so that mixed with me already being a big girl = probably not feeling more constant/obvious movement until about 22 weeks.

Things are still going well...baby girl has been so good to me. I keep hoping that she's not saving all her wrath for the 3rd tri haha! Still taking BP pills and will be going for serial cervical checks every month to make sure my history of D&C's and a LEEP won't be an issue. Other than that I'm just waiting to have a more defined belly and to feel some good movement!

Rooting for TTGP always

Hi Ladies!

I reached the halfway point this weekend which is so exciting!! We went to my Dad's lakehouse over Memorial Day so I was brave and got in a bikini to lay out and get some sun. So now I am going to be brave and show it to you lovely ladies (there is also a clothed bump pic on my blog)...

Tomorrow is our big anantomy scan!! I cannot wait to find out what we are having!! I hope the next 24 hours fly by!

You go girl! I rocked a bikini this past weekend too...I feel way more confident in a bikini than tankini, even with my big 'ol belly hanging out.

Good luck at your a/s

A little late to the party, but all is going well. Had my 2nd OB appt last Friday. Got to see baby's arms and legs move around! HB was 180!! New pic in siggy. I have my NT scan this Friday, and can't wait to see LO again! Starting to get a little belly bulge to the point I went mat. pants shopping yesterday. Much more comfortable now! My last dose of progesterone supp was Sunday! So glad :-) Not taking the Metformin anymore either. Congrats to all of the new BFPs!!

Hi Ladies!

A week ago we went from Team Green to Team Blue!  Hudson Carl arrived May 23rd at 10:26 pm.  He was 6 lbs 11 oz and 20 inches.  At 1 pm I went to my 40 weeks appt and had some cramping but no real contractions.  I arrived home at 2 pm and within 5 minutes of being home my water broke.  The contractions started shortly after as I arrived at the hospital.  I'm so thankful I had a relatively easy labor and all went smoothly.  So far all is going well and he is just the love of my life.  Here are some pics of our little man!

So precious, congrats Mags!!

You ladies look awesome!!  All is well here.  We took Mel swimming yesterday and she loved it (except for the part where MIL stole her out of DH's arms).  I haven't uploaded pics yet, but she looked super cute in her new bathing suit and hat!

ishka338:

Ricola, it's so good to see you here!  Glad things are going well for you.

As for us, I'm still hanging in there.  I'm hoping the dr. has good news for me today.  As of last week I was still 2 cm. and about 60% effaced.  It's a start, but I'd be happy to be making more progress now.  I'm all done working now, so I've been getting some nesting done while I'm home and I've become a little bit of a napper this past week.  Here is my bump pic from last week (I think this is my first one in the grad post).

Ahhh you are so close!  We absolutely NEED to plan a GTG sometime this summer!

Here's my 31 week bump!! I'm starting to the very anxious that little Scott will be here in approximately 9 weeks. Eek!  I'm continuing to lurk, hoping to see lots of BFPs!   Good luck all this cycle!

PDX7868

Hi everyone! Look at all these gorgeous PG women! TTGP I am stalking you all regularly, lots of love and hoping for a ton of BFP's this week.

I am officially 12 weeks and past the bloat to a full on bump. I noticed yesterday someone gave me a bit of a double take at a restaurant. LOL

Might jinx myself but morning sickness seems to be getting a bit better. Hoping to schedule my NT scan for later this week or early next.

Mags- Congrats, he is a cutie!!!

Gremermis and missycrissy- CONGRATS on your BFP! So happy to see you over on "the other side!" Congrats girls!

Things are going well here.  Almost 18 wks.  We have our anatomy u/s scheduled for June 16 and will be finding out the gender then.  We are really excited to know.  My DH and I just broke ground on our new house and it will be ready to close sometime in Sept.  Lot's of "first's" this year, have I said we are getting excited?  That's all...sorry, just a boring ol' update.

You are a lucky one, gaining mostly in the belly but you look great!

Thanks love! Yeah we had a good time at our GTG!

Me too, I hope I have good news to share really soon.  My RE seems to think so!!

 mchupie...I totally agree that a GTG is in order this summer. 

An update on me...just got back from the dr. and I am officially set for induction on Friday at 6 am due to some BP increase.  It's not bad, they just want to deliver before it would have a chance to get bad.  So, we'll be meeting our LO this week!!!

Tomsbabyboo

Hey Lovely ladies! Everyone looks great, I love the bumps! I am doing good, officially passed the half-way mark and baby boy is seems to be growing well (judging by my expanding bump)! I'm just getting started on the nursery which is a lot of fun. Here is my 20 week bump, taken in Mexico where we visited for a 5 year Anniversary/ Babymoon trip last week:-)

 

AnneShirleyBlythe

It has been a long time since I checked in but I had my baby a little over 2 weeks ago. She is a great baby so far! She STTN most nights (WTF?) and is an eating champ (unlike her big brother). She was born on 5/14 the day after my water broke (at work!). I never went into labor and since I was a VBAC candidate, there was nothing they could do to help it along (her head was not engaged, so there was no cervical change. She was so high up that the doctor could have turned her breech had she wanted to.) We waited 26 hours but had no changes at all, no signs of labor, etc. so we went ahead with a RCS rather than risk infection. {It was kind of cool having my body do what it was supposed to with the water breakage this time though, at 39 weeks on the dot, 1 hour before my maternity leave was to start. Last time I had nothing going even at 41w} It turned out she was pretty stuck in my ribs and she had the cord around her neck twice (neither a big deal by themselves, but she wasn't going anywhere, plus with a uterine scar and water breakage there was nothing chemical, pitocin or cervidil, or physical like a foley bulb, they could do to help it along). RCS was a breeze and we were discharged 39 hours after my surgery. Healing has been just fine. 

 

Anyway that was a lot of words, here is Lila Elaine...

Not much to update. I got my BFP last week on the 23rd, and I am 5 weeks today! I don't have an u/s or appointment until June 23rd . No symptoms yet other than bloat.

Morning ladies!! Baby & I are doing great. Almost to 2nd tri and am very excited about that. The nausea and m/s are starting to go away and I'm starting to feel baby "flutters". Went from not showing at all to having a bump in less than a week. Here is my bump pic:

Hi again! Finally made it to another week of TTGP grad! I am now 5 weeks and 3 days a long. Nothing really to report here. I had my first appointment today and it went well! I am starting to get m/s at some points in the day. Not every day but every couple of days. I am eating so much I have gained 4 lbs already. I need to slow down but I am so hungry all the time!!

I do not have a baby bump, but I do have a huge baby bloat...thanks to the 4 lbs. I will bravely post that pic, even though its all me and not baby at all. Haha. This is also technically my 8th pregnancy, I have had 3 live births. So women tend to "show" faster in subsequent pregnancies. I bloat out the day I find out I am pregnant haha.

missycrissy3:

I cant believe Im posting in here about me being KU. This is totally nuts. Nothing to really update here. Im still spotting but its spotting that Ive never had before. Its brown. I called the doctor this morning and Im waiting for a call back from the nurse. I have a scheduled appt thurs to check my beta's. So we will see if they want me to come in earlier.

I tested again this morning to make sure the line was darker and it was!!!!

Happy Tuesday Ladies!!!

 

Awwww. Congrats missycrissy! So happy for you! I must have missed your BFP post, I need to lurk more

Hi Ladies! Everyone looks so cute (as usual )!

I'm knocking at 3rd tri's door and can't believe we only have 13ish weeks left! I am still feeling pretty far behind, but I have offically completed our CD stash! We've picked out a daycare and are almost done with the nursery.
I still have been having some really bad hip and back pain, but drinking water has helped.

Congrats to all the new BFPs!

I just saw your update on FB.  Even knowing how far along you are, I still cannot believe how time is flying and how soon it will be the big day!

Love all of the updates.  Congratulations on all of the new arrivals and new BFPs - Gregermis, missycrissy, and all of those I missed!

Not much to report here.  Just had another appointment this morning.  Baby girl hates the doppler and kept kicking at it, but everything was good.  The nursery room is mostly empty, just need to move a desk.  We're going crib shopping next weekend and I have been building our cloth diaper stash.  I can't believe we passed the halfway point!

PPC - she is beautiful!  Congratulations!

JenniferandDustin2010

I haven't checked in at all since my BFP, but everything is going well so far. No spotting or cramping. First appointment and U/S is next Wednesday at 7 weeks.

politelypink

I just got my BFP on the weekend! So far not many symptoms. Woke up this morning feeling a little nausea. I see the doctor on Friday to confirm the pregnancy and get a ultrasound booked! I'm really looking forword to it!

Congrats to all the new BFP's ! !  I remember some of your faces from my days on TTGP!   And I'm loving the pics ladies!

I'm out of first tri this week! And I have an appt on Friday, so it will be nice to hit 13 weeks on Thursday and get to hear the HB on the doppler on Friday.  I'll be breathing a sigh of relief for sure!  I'm waiting each day to feel something in there moving around but nothing so far.

Hope you ladies are having a great day!

He's gorgeous!  I was wondering how you were making out a while ago, so stalked your blog and Liam's birth story nearly had me in tears.  I hope I'm every bit as strong as you were girl!

Here I am 19 weeks and 6 days, I can't believe I'll be at the half way mark tomorrow.  I had an anatomy scan 2 weeks ago, on Thursday I should hear the results.  Crossing my fingers everything went well since I haven't received a call from my OB since. 

On Sunday I definitely felt the baby kick, it was a quick two jabs to the bottom of my uterus, and I think I triggered it since I ate a spicy shrimp! LOL

Congrats to all the babies being born, they are all so cute!
