** TTGP Grad Check-In! **

siren0076

Good morning TTGP! I can't believe my little Brian will be here in about 12 weeks! I have gained all my 1st Trimester weight loss back(11 pounds). Saturday we went to have a 3D/4D ultrasound done. It was the best money spent. Brian had his feet on his head the whole time and we just laughed at his crazy yoga pose. I have one of his pics in my siggy.

Erma- thanks!!

WI-mommy- I think about you often! Keep us posted

So excited for all of the new BFPs lately!  Super cute babies and bellies, too.  Love this post

We're trucking along over here with nothing real interesting going on. I had a growth U/S yesterday (estimated weight is already 5.8!) and the tech showed me some 3D images. She gave me 4 craptastics pics and on the disc that I brought she gave me like a 5 second video of his feet. I really can't complain too much since it was all free, but I wanted to see my little guy better!

Last week I had the great idea of letting my kids finger paint my belly. All was going well at first-

And when they ran out of room, my oldest thought it would be fun to rub everything together into a big muddy looking mess-

They had a great time, though. They're already asking to do it again!

Hello!

Finally have something to report, (for those that remember me)  Had my 1st Ultrasound on monday and everything is looking good, HB was at 150 and our little bean was "swimming" from side to side, and measuring right on track.  Feel very fortunate that this baby has been really nice to me and my main symptom is just fatigue  

Wishing luck as always to all of TTGP and lots of ((Hugs)) to some of my ladies who are having a rough week: Salt, Btay,Shay, BBJ, BP  my thoughts are with all of you and I hope you have a brighter road ahead!

Love also to: Smurray and Squish!

 

No belly so no Pic yet

Good morning ladies! I'm so excited to be able to post here! I got my 'official' bfp at 10dpo, and at 12, 13 & 14 dpo, I had a tiny bit of spotting each day, so I was a little worried. For now the spotting seems to have stopped, and I just got my beta today. The numbers were really good! I still have no m/s to speak of, and I don't feel pregnant at all. I'm not even tired. I have my first ultrasound on July 6th at 7 weeks. I hope all of you TTGP ladies are doing great, I miss you!

Wow!  So good to see you here!  Not sure if you remember me or not from TTGP, but regardless big congratulations and I hope m/s stays away and you continue to feel great!

Thanks Rvns and PB!

Rvns, I'm sorry about the new cycle. On the up side- the kitchen looks like it will be fantastic, I'm jealous! Glad there will be time for you to be settled in your pretty house before baby Raven gets here . But not too much time, that BFP is coming!

Good luck on your glucose test PB, it's seriously not bad. It's just boring sitting there. And I hate getting blood drawn so you know, that's no fun. You'll do great!

Warm Summers-Congrats on team pink! I saw your blog post but your blog never lets me comment on it for some reason

ETA: And thanks Rxy, of course! Love your gift to your DH for the baby, how cute are teeny shoes?! And man, you guys seem like you have everything you need for her judging on your pics in your blog. I feel the same way you do about having less living space!

Morning Ladies:) I've been doing pretty good. Madilyn was moving like crazy yesterday which was awesome. DH has felt her 2 times now...the first was about 2 weeks ago. Her room is finished minus her bedding and curtains. Will post pics after my shower next month. Trying to stay positive about all the weight gain and to stay away from the brownies which is hard lol Here is my 25 week bump pic...it was a night out with the girls:)

Hot mama!!

CatahoulaMom:

Good morning!! Here's a bump pic for today, courtesy as always of the bathroom at work:

" src="">

Everything is going well, LO is getting BIG and heavy. I've resorted to having to think about anything I drop and whether it's worth picking up. Sleep is getting more uncomfortable with a growing belly, but other than that, all is going well! I keep hearing that mother nature makes you super uncomfortable in third tri so you'll be more than happy to finally go into labor. While I'm not there yet, I can understand feeling that way in a few weeks, if this kid doesn't kick right through my stomach before that happens!!

 

You look beautiful!

mrsbaker1128:

Thanks sweetie , so do you! I'm stalking your FB waiting on those boys. HOLY COW it's soon!

 

FinallyMrsM

Hi Ladies! I hope you are all doing well. 

Everything here is going well, just had my 12 week appointment yesterday and we have a HB of 171.  I am now wearing maternity clothes, mostly for comfort, still no noticable baby bump. 

I hope to see you all over on the trimester boards soon.  Good Luck to you all.

mrsbaker1128

Afternoon ladies! I've been MIA on the last few check-ins, but I really wanted to check-in today. It's my last check-in before I'm a mommy!! Eek!! 

Next Monday, my doctor will induce me around 7:30 am (unless there's an emergency). Both boys are head down, so everyone feels confident we can deliver both vaginally. Cross your fingers I can! I'm also really excited that MuseumMaven and I will have our boys the same day!!

I'm doing okay though. I was starting to get really miserable at work, so I went ahead and took this week off, too. I've been soooo lazy the past two days! I'm sleeping in until 11 and then napping, as well. haha! I'm having some severe round ligament pain that seriously stops me in my tracks. It isn't contractions and the boys' movement hasn't decreased, so I'm just wait until my appointment tomorrow to mention them to my doctor. 

Here's my 37 week picture from this past Saturday:

Congrats to all the new BFPs!

First time checking in for awhile.  Not sure how many people even remember me here anymore....none-the-less:

Almost 23 weeks along -- WOW!  Where has the time gone?  Picture below is from this past week.  Found out we are having a little girl!  So excited!  Movement varies from day to day, but when I feel her, I feel her!!  DH has felt her twice now!  Working on her nursery.  All furniture is set up, we just need to pick her bedding and paint, decorate.  Can't wait for Oct!!  Always rooting for the ladies of TTGP!

rxy5309:

I have missed the check in for a few weeks. My computer has been down. I am back finally! I am 35 weeks this weeks and that means only a few weeks to go!!! I am ready for my girl to finally get here! My actual due date is 7/25, but everyone thinks she will be here early (July 15 to be exact). Read this for reasons why https://wevegotthegoodlife.blogspot.com/2011/06/so-i-just-have-to-discuss-something.html .

It is summer break so I have been sitting at home a lot trying to get things ready, but I am ready for Mckinley to get here finally so we can all be home. DH is taking a whole month off to be home with us = )

I have been trying to keep up with all of my TTGP ladies, but it seems like so many have been moving on to month boards!! I am so happy for you all!

I feel like I am just sitting around wondering if every pang or twinge means something and hopefully next week at my 36 week appt. something may already be happening (not getting my hopes up!)

It's so good to "see" you on here!  I've been looking for ya.  I can't believe your 35 weeks already!!!  We found out a month ago were having another little girl:)  Yay for girls:)  If I don't hear from you before hand, I wish you all the best with your labor and delivery.  And a helpful tip, breath in through your nose and out through your mouth during contractions.  I found that worked GREAT for me!

I'm a little late but thought I'd check in.  No picture today but hit 24 weeks  yesterday!  Took my glucose test so hope it comes back normal.  Can't believe that at my next OB appt I'll be in 3rd tri. It's amazing how fat time goes by when your chasing a 13 month old around (and how exhausting it is!)  Everyone is looking fabulous!  And congrats to the newest BFP's

DCrider

This is me at 30 weeks. 

And this is me now at 36 weeks.

( I cannot get the second picture to freaking post!!! Aghh! ) 

I am doing pretty well! The countdown is on, and I am ready to meet my little guy! I am hoping he stays put at least until July 13 (We are due July 16.) when my mom will be here! This pregnancy has truly been an adventure. We have the GBS test today and a check to see if there has been any progress, then seeing the doc every week until he makes his arrival!

Andrew hit 12 weeks on Saturday and I started back to the office yesterday.  I made it through without any tears, but today has been harder for some reason.  I miss his sweet little smiling face during the day.

WOW! He is getting so big and handsome. I can understand why you miss seeing that little cutie. I can't imagine what it's like to have to go back to work; but I will have to do the same thing. Sighhhh. . .Who is keeping him? Do you have a sitter or use a daycare? Either way, I'm sure it is so hard. GL with making it through the week and I hope you have a wonderful weekend at home with Andrew!

OMG. . .I can't believe it is time already! I hope that everything goes smoothly during delivery. It is wonderful that everyone feels so positive about your delivery plan! I know that is exciting for you.

I can't wait to see those beautiful outside boys!  Good luck, dear!

Morning TTGP! Everyone looks awesome! 

 Miss Alynn is 5 weeks old already, I can not get over how fast this is flying by. She is finally past her birth weight and is maybe 8 lbs soaking wet. We are still not getting much sleep since she eats ever 2 hours, but she is a great baby! 

 Here is a picture of Alynn on Father's day.  

 

Thinking of you all! 

Alynn is gorgeous! I hope that you can start to get some sleep soon! ((((Hugs))))

Late to the party! This morning wasnt a good morning but it is getting better! OMG all the cute bellies! Wished I could reply to each one of you guys but Im just popping in real quick because just looking at the screen is making me queasy.

Congrats to all the BFPs!!! I go tomorrow for my first U/S and Im super nervous! Cant wait to have something to show you guys!!! No belly yet just bloat!! By evening time I feel like I have a bit of a belly.

Love love love this post!!! Ber thanks for posting this every tuesday!

MuseumMaven:

Good morning,

Big news for me this week - by this time next week I'll be a mom!  The doctor isn't super happy with one of the twins growth, and he is concerned that he is restricted.  So as soon as I hit full term (37 weeks for twins) I'm being induced.  The induction is planned for Monday evening at 7:30pm.  I'm hoping to have babies by sometime on Tuesday!

Right now my biggest issue is some pretty severe back pain - walking is really hard right now.  I'm not sure what I would do if I were going to be pregnant for another four weeks - but the pain probably wouldn't be as bad if I weren't having two!

Here's a pic from last week, at 35 weeks 2 days:

 

 

You look great! Can't wait to see pics of the boys! (haven't been here in a while, I can't believe we are all so close to delivering!)

Good Morning/Afternoon bumpies,

I'll be a full 23 weeks this coming Thursday and I still really can't complain. I'm starting to go to the doctor more regularly for cervical length checks and growth scans because of my BP. I went for my echo last Friday and finally got some great pictures Here is little Allie at 22w1d...love her so much

She obviously loves showing her limberness as those are her legs you see over the top of her body!

More pics on my blog if you care to see

Rooting for TTGP always

I know!  He is growing way too fast!  He will start in daycare on Aug 1st (small in-home one with 6 kids and 2 providers less than a mile from our house).  Currently he is at our house being taken care of by his grandma (MIL).  I'm counting down the days til July 4th when I'll be home with him for a week again.

How are you feeling?  I can't believe you're already getting to 2nd tri!

Ya Never Know - congrats on the BFP!

Amandaloren - hawt dress, is that a maternity dress, from where?

 

Feeling pretty good overall, and feeling movement everyday too.  I have an anterior placenta, so I'm very grateful for feeling the baby!

Afternoon Ladies!

I am late to the check-in b/c my pregnancy brain made me think today was Monday! I am pleasantly surprised that it is in fact Tuesday though!

Things are going well here. We went this weekend to my husband's 10 year high school reunion so we took my bump picture right before we left.

I am feeling pretty good other than dying in the Texas heat! I am not sure how I am going to survive the rest of the summer as my belly continues to expand.

I can't believe some of you ladies are getting so close to delivering!! (Mrs. B, Museum Maven, Rxy) Good luck to all of you and I can't wait to see pictures of your precious babies!

Here I am at 23 weeks.

I've been so busy reading everyone else's updates that I forgot to update. There's nothing really exciting to report. I may have felt a flutter this morning, but I'm really not sure. It might have just been gas. Hahaha!

We are having an elective u/s on July 12 to find out the sex of the baby. I'll be a little over 16 weeks at that time.

I don't have an official bump, its still bloat. However, I did make my first maternity wear purchase this week. Thank goodness for thrift stores and consignment shops. I got some really good deals. I bought a dress and a pair of capris for $17.00. I was super pleased with that.

I love seeing all the bumps and the beautiful outside babies!

Oh, I started a blog yesterday. Please follow me if you'd like!

That in-home daycare sounds like a dream come true!

I am feeling better. The nausea is slowly disappearing. It only gets bad if it's been too long since I've eaten. My energy is coming back. I actually did a brisk 3 mile walk on Sunday evening and it felt great. I am hoping to get into a walking routine. I think it will make me feel so much better. The heat is the worst part. I have to wait until 8 pm so that I don't have a heat-stroke outside. I am sure you can empathize with that.

Aww thanks honey! This was a hard one to take. I just picked up the paperwork to schedule DH's SA, so hoping to get that done ASAP and that will be one less thing out of the way. Yes it will be nice to be settled in the new house first. I am hoping maybe this cycle may do it and we would find out right around settlement if I am KU or not, so that would be awesome. I am super excited about the kitchen too! Even though DH does almost all the cooking. lol

Look at all the cute bellies and u/s pics! It's so good to see happy and healthy mommies and babies.

It's hard to believe that a year ago, I was barely pregnant. Now I have a 5 month old. I know many of you feel like you'll have to wait forever until your outside babies are here, but just wait- once they're here, you'll be wanting time to slow down!

Here's a recent pic of my sweet Colin
