~*~*TTGP Graduate Check-In*~*~

megs2011

Hey Ladies,

I just hit 19 weeks and have been doing well. I only have small bits of nausea that come and go (mostly at night) which is a welcomed change. I bought myself a snoogle this weekend which has helped a lot with sleep. I have been feeling the babies move everyday now which is the most amazing feeling in the world. And last week I started to see them kick/punch/move from the outside! That was crazy and awesome at the same time . A week tomorrow is our a/s and I can't wait to see them! I hope they cooperate for us!! 8 days and counting Here is my 19 week bump pic. It's definitely getting quite big!

We have ordered our cribs, glider and dresser for the nursery and they should be here in a week . I am starting my registry next Thursday and so excited!

As always, rooting for my lovelies on TTGP. Love you ladies!

Hi ladies!

Little Miss Audra had her 4 month check up last Thursday. She is a whopping 12 pounds, 2 1/2 ounces and 23" long. My little peanut! She took her shots like a champ and took the oral vaccine like it was no big thing just like at her 2 month appointment. We got the okay for her to go swimming this summer so I'm looking forward to taking her for the first time when my in-laws open their pool and it's warm enough No updated picture this week since the one in my siggy is from a week ago!

I love seeing all these bumps & babies!

Eags:

8 weeks here & feeling the nausea all day and night. The only things that sound good are pizza or bacon. I've got another u/s Thursday so I can't wait to see how much our little bean has grown!! Fx crossed for all the TTGPers.

Mmmm. Bacon Pizza.

I wasn't here long so don't always check in - however I just entered second tri and wanted to say hello and update on pregnancy so far.

I think about you girls a lot - especially when I start feeling sorry for myself for being sick.

So..  I know you meant well and provided a lot of other useful and thoughtful information in your post, but this bolded statement stung me a bit.  Although I am no longer TTC, this really read like salt in a wound to me.  I can't imagine reading that on CD1.  I would save the "Glad I'm not you!" posts for somewhere else. 

Word.

 

 

OP - I assume (hope) you didn't mean it as comes across here, but it kinda sounds like you're saying "When I feel sick I can think 'At least I'm not still TTC'".  If that IS how you meant it, then that's a pretty sh!tty thing to post here.

All of this.

I am a Debbie Downer this week, I apologize. I am coming off the hardest weekend I have ever had in my life. My SIL lost her baby at 25w3d. He was born and was doing well, but then went down hill fast. I am a wreck, and I look like sh!t, so I cut my face out of the photo. I'm 22w4d.

 

My little girl is doing great. She is kicking like crazy and we can feel her from the outside. I have my 1-hour GD test at the end of the month. I can't wait to drink that nasty orange crap. :P

Everyone looks great. Anita, Toni, Megs, Anne, Jenni, you all look gorgeous. Eags and Shay, I love you both! KPowers, keep on trucking, lady!

GL to everyone. I love me some TTGP success stories!

We found out a few weeks ago!  We conceived on our 5 cycle trying, so we feel pretty lucky   We are very excited and things have been great so far...

Yesterday and today are my first times feeling nauseated (i thought i had gotten around it!) and other than that I've been EXHAUSTED and bloated, but nothing else.

I do want to say though, that I no longer believe in temping and all that junk! I was temping and using OPKs, and the month that we conceived my temps didn't even show ovulation and my opks were positive forever...  I am a firm believer in lots of sex... spread throughout the month so that you can hit ovulation, whenever it should occur!  throw out your thermometers ladies

Oh Nemo, that is TERRIBLE  I am so sorry for your family's loss.  Sending tons of T&P.

PS- You still look adorable!   

Oem617

KNemo - I am so sorry for your sister's loss. My thoughts go out to you and your whole family. 

Megs - I could not live without my Snoogle! Hope it brings you some must needed comfort and sleep.

Sorry but that is horrible advice.

Still not much going on with me. I do have my first appointment this Thursday for intake paperwork. And supposedly our baby's heart started beating this week. My H is pumped by hearing that.

You are special, aren't you?

Shayliz:

The sonographer did comment that I definitely only ovulated from my left ovary - so the egg did release from the left and somehow made its way into my right tube and uterus. Amazing!

Shay, that is so incredible!  Wow.  And so happy things are going well for you!

Yeah, this may have worked for you, but it isn't good advice for everyone. We've all traveled down the "just have sex" or "relax" road. The one cycle I did conceive was the cycle that I diligently temped (vaginally) and used OPKs twice, maybe 3 times a day. I am convinced that the OPK naysayers don't know what a true positive looks like. And too much sex can mess with your conception chances. There are no sure fire ways to get pregnant, but just because it worked for you to relax and not temp/chart/use OPKs, doesn't mean it works for everyone.

So far I had my first u/s last Tuesday at what I thought was ~ 6 weeks, 6 days and found out we are having TWINS! 

Congrats on the duo in your belly, rinascita!  What incredible news!

You sucked at temping so of course it didn't "work" for you. You missed temps and had a sh!ton of open circles.

Megs - I could not live without my Snoogle! Hope it brings you some must needed comfort and sleep.  

Thanks Ash. It seems to be helping so far. I just need to break in the part that goes under my head. It's a little hard for my liking. PS I can't believe you are almost there! Where has the time gone?

Hello Ladies!

It has been a long time since I have checked in... I don't recognize anyone anymore!

Connor is 3 months old and growing like crazy... he does not miss a meal! He was 12 lbs at his 2 month appointment and I can't wait to see how much he has grown at his 4 month.

16 weeks today! Still lookin' and feelin' lumpy. I have a little break from the nausea today, yay!!

Uh, what?

I'm feeling pretty good, our anatomy scan is in a week and a half!

I have pelvic girdle pain, which is when your pelvis gets too loose (thank you to the hormone relaxin for that) too soon and then your bones don't know quite where to go and it causes pain. It feels like I'm getting punched in the crotch/left inner groin and hurts to walk/stand/sleep. For the past 4 weeks I thought I pulled a muscle while running but I spoke with my midwife today and she agrees.

The plus side is that it should go away after I deliver and I get to wear one of these soon! Sexxxxxxy, right?

I was wearing a super cute outfit yesterday and should have taken a bump pic. Today I'm a total scrub. Pic next week, I promise. 

to TTGP ladies! Rooting for you!

Hi everyone! Not much to report here...I am 14 weeks today and can't believe it! I have an OB appointment on Friday I think I am finally starting to show...just a tiny bit! Hopefully next week I will have a bump photo to share with you!

Always rooting for my TTGP girls! So much love for you all

Toni - You look great and I love your dress.

Anita - What a great shower pic. Congrats on 3rd tri.

Cruel - I can't wrap my head around you having a 2 month old, I still expect your cool bump shots from above.

Ash - Nursery looks great, you're almost there!

Megs- That's so neat you're feeling lots of movement already. Have fun registering and at your AS.

Landos - You are too cute!

Jenni - Love your shirt. 

Bluenoser - Good job nesting and now I want some cake please. 

 Edit:

Music and HEA - you snuck in while I was posting. Music - I want your Ben and Jerry's prescription. Actually, I'm already on it and then some. I realized DH and I got ice cream 4 times this weekend. 4!

HEA - Second tri! Love it.

Hi ladies! How are you all doing?? I miss you all so much.

I am 10 weeks 2 days today. A quarter of the way through already! This pregnancy is going by so fast! I've been feeling alright, a little m/s but nothing as bad as what I had with Landon. My family & friends swear they see a baby bump already, so later today I will take a picture & post it here. I just have to get ready for the day first! Haha!

All the best of luck to the TTGP ladies! Especially to Slappy, KK, Chancie, Cram, CLE, GG, Kiki, Banker & many many more!!!!! Love you ladies!  

You look great, Landosmommy! :-)

Hello everyone!

Not much going on here, I am almost 5 weeks. M/s hasn't completely struck yet, I just get a little queasy if I don't eat all day long.  No bump, but the bloat is crazy.  i start the morning looking normal and  I get home and look 5 months pregnant. 

I go for my first appointment on Thursday, I have mixed feelings about getting an u/s.  I am pretty sure their won't be a h/b yet, and I don't want to worry for no reason.

ANd KNemo, I am so sorry to hear about your SIL.  I could not imagine.
