~~~TTGP Grad Check-in~~~

babyike

Hey ladies! 

I had an appt last Thursday at 10w6d, and baby measured 11w3d and HR was 141  

No pics yet this week.  I'll take another bump pic when I hit 12 weeks on Friday!  I have my NT scan on 2/2 and another prenatal appt on 2/7, so I should have a pic to share in the next couple of check-ins.

So far symptoms have not let up at all, so I'm trying to take all of them in stride and view them as good signs.  

Congrats again to the recent BFPs and I'm keeping my FX for all of you TTGPers   And a shout-out to ~*Ali&Luke*~  I've got everything crossed for you!!

I'm just over 6w with baby #3 (pregnancy #4) and my belly is sharing the news with everyone. 

 

The same thing happened last time with DD (and I measuring 6w ahead with her the entire pregnancy), so I kind of expected this, but I thought it would wait just a little bit longer (sigh.) 

I'm feeling good, just nauseous and tired.  I go for my first u/s on Monday and I am SO EXCITED (but super nervous) to see my peanut.  Just hoping and praying for a healthy HB! 

So, yeah.  There's that. 

Oh my goodness, so many adorable baby bumps on here! MrsJenni, your belly is too cute for words! How are you that big at 6 weeks? I love it!!!!!

It's a little ridiculous, right?  I had to tell people at work already!  I just get really big when I'm PG for some reason. It's already getting hard and I can feel my ute (certainly NOT the baby)... I think it's all like "whoa she's KTFU again, let's prepare for another monster baby." 

Well, I for one, can't wait to see your 9 month bump! ha!! It is a super cute bump you got going on. And, I can't believe for one second the two little adorable nuggets in your siggy are monsters! I want to eat them up they are so cute!!!

Though they are cute, they are pure evil.  But I meant "monster babies" as in their size.  Just an example: DS was 9.5lbs born 2 full weeks early. My ute goes into survival mode.

Hey loves, just 5 weeks here. I don't have an appointment until the end of February. I'm rocking some crazy bloat compared to last time (from last week):

 

LOVE!  And I know how you feel regarding bloat... It is insane how early it starts with subsequent pregnancies!  You look adorable as always  How are you feeling so far??

Hey everyone!!! I had an ultrasound yesterday at 6 weeks and everything looked perfect. I saw the little heartbeat and heard it very faint. Im starting to feel pretty sick. I'm teaching today and can't even count with them without dry heaving. My next appointment is on valentines day, I can't wait!

Hi Ladies!

It has certainly been a while since I've posted on TTGP, hopefully some of you still remember me. 

I took a bump hiatus back in July after my second m/c. DH and I had just started talking about TTC seriously again when I got my 3rd BFP on Christmas Eve (surprise!)

Last week we had our first u/s which showed a healthy heart beat and blob. I have a second one next week. My fingers are crossed that this is our sticky one.

Great to see you ladies, looking fantastic!

I may have just let out an audible squee!  Congrats

I finally have something to show!  NT scan & prelim b/w looks beautiful.  I lost 5 lbs over the last 2 weeks, and I'm thinking its a lack of protein (I'm a rabbit food kind of girl), so I have to start putting on weight before my next appointment. We also chose a crib set (its starting to get real!!) and are in the process of cleaning out the room we intend to turn into the baby room so we have somewhere to put all this stuff!

Here's my beginning bump!   Sleep has been hard to come by, but other than that I feel super duper, no complaints.  Happy Chinese New Year everyone--welcome to the Year of the Dragon! Sorry to post & run, but its a busy busy week here.

 

And here's the latest u/s...everyone seems to think its a boy, but you simply can't tell :-p

 

 

So cute! Both you and Baby!!

Hey btay! Thanks I'm excited! Next week will be the big one though, to see if I can bridge the others eeeek! ::commence nail biting::

 

Psych and Wi - Thanks ladies!!

Hey everyone! There are too many familiar faces to shout out each one, but I will just say that you all look awesome and I love reading all the updates!

Not much going on here, just moving right along. I'm 33 weeks today, so we are entering the home strech!

I had my baby shower and it was awesome! We got so many great items and my BFF did a great job putting it all together. It was The Very Hungry Caterpillar themed.

I have my work shower on Wed, so that will be fun as well!

I've been feeling HUGE and heavy. Dean is really stretching out in there and kicking ribs and stepping on my bladder all day. Oh, and bewbies started to leak this week. Awesome. We go on our hospital tour tonight, so I'm looking forward to that. All my appts have gone well and I hope it stays that way!

The nursery is coming along and its almost done. We are going with a "woodland" theme with the colors of yellow and gray. It has been fun to organize it and decorate it!

Sorry I have no pics to share as I'm as work right now. Looking forward to seeing more updates and bumps!

Waves!  I miss you ladies.

Nothing much to report from me.  I'm 5w4d and still feeling great. 

All you ladies with your bumps are just too darn cute.

bornmommy

Hey ladies!  After a rough start (if you were around I was the 3am BFP after "period" girl) LO and I are rocking along and will be 22 weeks tomorrow!  The "period" was found to be marginal placenta previa bleeding which has resolved itself Just wanted to check in and remind y'all that if you are feeling a bit funny, even if you think you're out because you got what seems like your period, POAS anyways... You never know!!  Good luck and all the best to you wonderful (funny as h*ll) women

Here's my beginning bump! 

 

 

Look at your adorable bump!! Glad to hear everything is going well for you and you are feeling great overall. Can't wait to know if everyone's right and it is a boy!

Gotta say it again... you look so cute!!! I am so thrilled for you, M, and little Carina. I am going to guess boy early....

Btw, just noticed the Madison, WI is no longer on your location and made me sad a little! The Chigago GTG won't be the same without ya!

Thank you so much, M! I had the Bump change my location to the new place. I still can't believe we're here.

Are you guys planning another GTG anytime soon?

We are hoping to get one planned for February... weather permitting.

partymama

I still cannot believe I am a grad!  Not much to report, I still don't know exactly how far along I am, somewhere in the 4th week.  I had my first beta on Thursday, which came back at 15, and my second beta yesterday which was at 239. I have one more beta on Thursday and if progress continues the way it is, I'll be able to schedule my first appointment!

Hi everyone! 

 We're moving right along (wayyy too fast!) and I'm almost 18 weeks. We started the nursery over the weekend, and out anatomy scan is in two weeks. I'll post then, when I have some more to update.

Here is a picture from last August and one from last week. How things have changed! Claire has gone from 6 lbs and change after birth to 17 now, and she occasionally even sleeps through the night.

We are moving to Memphis, TN next month for my husband's job. Claire will be growing up in the South!

Always rooting for (and lurking on) TTGP.

14 weeks tomorrow! Had the NT scan last week and everything is looking good so far. We have our a/s appt for Feb 29th which now seems sooo far away. Can't wait to start going baby crazy on boys or girls stuff.

ITA! I love this Grad thread!

 

34w! Just got back from a doctor's appointment and everything looks good. (My BP was also much lower than last week. They didn't say anything about it then, but it made me a little nervous.) They made all my appointments up to just a little past my due date today, which was very surreal.

Nothing much else to report. I still feel pretty good. It's definitely getting harder to drag my ass to the gym now though. 

Always rooting for you, TTGP!

Hey, TTGPers and grads!  Just checking in to say howdy.  DD turned 16 weeks on Friday.  Seriously don't know how that happened.  She giggles now, which is intolerably adorable. 

DH is still looking for a job, so I'm the only one bringing home the bacon for now.  If anyone in the DC-metro area is looking to hire a great lawyer, please PM me or page me on Oct. 2011! 

Wishing you all BFPs, and sticky babies for all.

Hey Ladies!

It's been a really long time since I've posted, so I'm not sure who will even remember me. I finally got my profile fixed, so I'm going to try to post more often now.

Anyway, my little Otter baby was born on November 13th at 37 weeks. We had to stay in the hospital for a little while (jaundice for him and blood transfusion for me), but we are doing great now! Jonah was 7 lbs 9 oz at birth and is 11 lbs 3 oz now. He has been smiling and is starting to try to laugh (I think; it's either that or he's just making weird noises :P). Of course we think he is amazing, and we adore him. Here's a picture of him just after birth, and I put a Christmas picture in my siggy.



It's so wonderful to see all the beautiful babies and bellies! I've been lurking and rooting for you all!

I'm pretty late to this party, but I finally have an update.

I had my first ultrasound at my RE's office this morning, and we found out we're having TWINS!!!  I'm alternating between feeling terrified and excited right now.

As always, good luck to all of the TTGP ladies!
