38w tomorrow. Had my weekly appt today, and am still 3cm 60% effaced. Planned induction Nov 23rd if she doesn't come sooner. I had my membranes stripped, which hurt like a b*tch! Here's to hoping it works!!!

So many beautiful ladies and babies and bumps! Yay! I had taken a break from TTGP for a while for a couple reasons - mainly annoyed with the mobile site and additionally just wasn't feeling the posting bug from the previous miscarriages yet. But I have been lurking and love seeing so many faces of those I connected with before!
lobosabby - so happy for you!
Southernpeach - you look beautiful! Yay for passing your GD (I assume that's glucose?) test! Enjoy your shower!
bdcram - you look so super cute Love your name choices too!
Eags - what fantastic pics!! So happy for you all is going so well
tairarat - yay for a boy! DH & I were like that about the names we picked - you will win! The mom always wins lol!!
kellyrn - you look fabulous lady! I remember many of your posts and am still just so happy for you
Shay - always love reading your updates and am just so happy for you too!!
AFM, I found out on the 5th that I am expecting in July. Until yesterday I haven't felt very excited about it what with all the PgAL brain. But my betas took a decent jump between Fri & Mon and I'm on 400mg of progesterone and baby aspirin now which I started way earlier than last time. I actually got the BFP the morning I was scheduled for my first RE appointment so it all worked out well. I will have another blood draw Fri and if all is well they will schedule a 6 week u/s for the following week. So I'm checking in I guess, but very apprehensively! I know last time I checked in it was like the next day that I had the m/c, so I hope I'm not jumping the gun this time by posting.
Love and miss all the awesome TTGP ladies I have gotten to know - there's still room on the July board!!! Hope I get to see some more familiar faces & wishing you all lots of luck and good wishes!
18w5d and baby has turned my ute into its very own bounce house! I love it so much DH felt baby move from the outside at 18w1d, it was super special because it was our year anniversary of when we found out we were dealing with severe MFI. Now he feels our baby...so amazing. I cry a lot these days lol.
One week til we get to see our little bambino and find out the sex!
Hugs and love to you girls, think of you often. Now off to look at all of the bellahs and babies!
You look so cute! I can't believe you are almost 19 weeks already! It seems like everyones pregnancy is flying by!!
Here I am at 22w4d. It's starting to get a little cramped in there, so I am wondering how I am going to do this until 40 weeks! Darn short waist! I am having some difficulty with shortness of breath related to a crowded diaphragm. Other than that though I am feeling awesome!!! James is also moving around a lot.
Your updates always make me so happy. I miss you girlfriend!

eags-those pics are amazing! Love them!
larhun!!-Congrats!! So exciting!
tairairat-Yay!! Congrats on the boy!! Hope YH cracks first
tonir-C is so adorable!!!
anita-Yes!!! A huge congrats to you!!!
AFM-Well, I failed my 1 hour test and my 3 hour test but OB still didn't like the look of my numbers. I started out good, then had a high number, then a good number, then a super low number. Stupid body. She said I don't have GD yet but she was fairly confident that I would develop it at some point. So we could either repeat the 3 hour at 26 weeks or go ahead and treat it as if I already have GD. We've decided to play it safe and start treatment. I'll meet with a dietician soon to get a diet and start checking my levels 4x's a day. I cried with the news.
We had our a/s a week ago and everthing looks good! HB was 144 and weighed 9oz. There's a pic in my siggy. And we found out we are having a BOY!!!! So excited!
Always rooting for the TTGP's! Hoping you all get your BFP's soon!!

AFM-Well, I passed my 1 hour test and my 3 hour test but OB still didn't like the look of my numbers. I started out good, then had a high number, then a good number, then a super low number. Stupid body. She said I don't have GD yet but she was fairly confident that I would develop it at some point. So we could either repeat the 3 hour at 26 weeks or go ahead and treat it as if I already have GD. We've decided to play it safe and start treatment. I'll meet with a dietician soon to get a diet and start checking my levels 4x's a day. I cried with the news.
Wait, you passed the one AND the three hour but she is treating you like you have GD? That just sounds off. I failed the 1 hour and passed the 3 hour (fasting # was good, 1 hour draw was bad, 2 hour draw was good, 3 hour draw was good but low) and they had me redraw the 3 hour again at 26w and I had the same result of failing the draw at 1 hour but passing all of the others with a super low 3 hour draw.
Either way, it sounds like you'll be eating healthy which is a good thing - it just sounds off that they are treating you like you have GD with passing tests.
I am so late to this party. Lucy is 5 weeks old and chunking up. She eats all. the. time! The growth spurt is killing me, smalls. I feel like an over-worked dairy cow. I love her more and more every day. She is showing glimmers of "waking up." We can get random smile out of her now and then that are clearly not gas, but it's more towards inanimate objects and not towards people yet. Her eyes are clearing up and she looks at us for long stretches, and she also will follow our voices. She is such a dream baby (so much easier than her brother)!

That was a typing fail on my part. I failed the one hour. Mine came out the same as yours, with a good fasting, high 1st hour, good 2nd, and low 3rd. What did they do for you? The eating healthy can't hurt
ETA: my numbers were as follows: 86 fasting, 192, 139, 64

Do they do glucose tests earlier now or only on certain conditions? Another gal I know who is due in April found out she has GD too, but at my OB (and from what I remember with my pregnancy with DS at another practice) the glucose test was done around 27 weeks.

I notice you have PCOS and were on Metformin, do you also have insulin resistance? Just curious.
We didn't make any changes to my diet since I passed the 3 hour twice (I had it done at 13w and then again at 26w) with just that 1 hour draw of them being a fail. A isn't measuring big at all and I haven't gotten above my pre-preg weight (lost a lot in 1st tri) so that may have something to do with it. If I was gaining a lot of weight, I think they might have done some diet modification.
I'm so excited to post here! I had a beta drawn last Thursday at 11dpIUI. My RE was in surgery all day Friday so they finally called at 4:30 to tell me I was KTFU. I had a repeat beta yesterday and it went from 23 to 150. My progesterone was good but I have to keep taking 200mg of Prometrium at bedtime. I go back Friday for another beta and an ultrasound in a couple of weeks. According to O my EDD is 7/21/12 but my RE is going by LMP which is 7/22/12...it's 1 day so no big deal.As of now, my symptoms aren't too bad...I have cramps on and off, nausea on and off, frequent urination, and I get so tired at night but am up at the crack of dawn every morning!
I always enjoy reading about all of your pregnancies and I am always rooting for my fellow 3T and TTGP ladies. Can't wait to see more bumps and babies!
I missed your BFP, Congrats! Hope you have a Happy and healthy 9 months!

Shay-I do have IR. I have gained some weight, around 5 lbs so far. I'm not sure if my doc is paranoid or just really aggressive.
ROS-my doc wanted to do it early because of my existing IR PCOS. She wanted to keep an eye on it early so the plan was to do it at 18 weeks and then with passing tests, repeat it again at 26 weeks.

Paranoid or aggressive, it won't harm you! I was really paranoid about having GD because I have celiac so I am already super limited in foods. I hope the diet is easy to manage and not too limiting.
Good morning lovelies! I am 17 weeks today. (What the fluck?!) Not much to update about but I did schedule my Anatomy Scan for November 27th. Only two weeks away! I am so flipping excited to find out if Clames is a James or a Claire.
I can't wait to see everyone's updates!
Here I am today in a classic "Work Bathroom" pic:
You are glowing, and so cute!
Eags: I love your pics!
Larhun3: I think I saw your BFP post, but congrats again!
Old Glory: not sure if you recognize me, 2nd Tri already, that's awesome!
Erinm: Congrats, again!
Shay- I don't blame you for not being up, I would do the same if I worked from home. Can't wait to see pics!
I love all the bumps, and babies! I definitely have to remember to read this thread!
ETA: added to this post. I should have read the entire thread before posting, lol!
I haven't visited TTGP or the grad check in in FOREVER. So neat to see all the little babies and the baby bumps!
MT is going to be 12 weeks on Friday. He is ridiculously smiley pretty much all the time and he just started giggling this week- freaking adorable. He's getting way too big way too fast... I wish I could pause this time because I feel like we're flyin through it!

I am so late to this party. Lucy is 5 weeks old and chunking up. She eats all. the. time! The growth spurt is killing me, smalls. I feel like an over-worked dairy cow. I love her more and more every day. She is showing glimmers of "waking up." We can get random smile out of her now and then that are clearly not gas, but it's more towards inanimate objects and not towards people yet. Her eyes are clearing up and she looks at us for long stretches, and she also will follow our voices. She is such a dream baby (so much easier than her brother)!

I am ridiculously late to this thread, but I actually have a picture!
I am 29 weeks tomorrow. We started painting the nursery (grey and green). Once it's done, I'll post pictures! Our crib, mattress, and glider are all here and we are just waiting for the painting to be done before setting up! I can't believe I only have 11 weeks left.
I have finally given in an bought maternity clothes. Up until a week ago, I was wearing my regular jeans with a hair tie holding them together, but I have surrendered. There's no hiding him anymore!
This is a bump picture from one week ago with a bonus cat picture. I'm sure cat diapering photos will be coming soon as well.
As always, lots of love to TTGP! Always rooting for you!

AFM, I found out on the 5th that I am expecting in July. Until yesterday I haven't felt very excited about it what with all the PgAL brain. But my betas took a decent jump between Fri & Mon and I'm on 400mg of progesterone and baby aspirin now which I started way earlier than last time. I actually got the BFP the morning I was scheduled for my first RE appointment so it all worked out well. I will have another blood draw Fri and if all is well they will schedule a 6 week u/s for the following week. So I'm checking in I guess, but very apprehensively! I know last time I checked in it was like the next day that I had the m/c, so I hope I'm not jumping the gun this time by posting.
Love and miss all the awesome TTGP ladies I have gotten to know - there's still room on the July board!!! Hope I get to see some more familiar faces & wishing you all lots of luck and good wishes!

larhun!!-Congrats!! So exciting!
tairairat-Yay!! Congrats on the boy!! Hope YH cracks first
tonir-C is so adorable!!!
anita-Yes!!! A huge congrats to you!!!
AFM-Well, I failed my 1 hour test and my 3 hour test but OB still didn't like the look of my numbers. I started out good, then had a high number, then a good number, then a super low number. Stupid body. She said I don't have GD yet but she was fairly confident that I would develop it at some point. So we could either repeat the 3 hour at 26 weeks or go ahead and treat it as if I already have GD. We've decided to play it safe and start treatment. I'll meet with a dietician soon to get a diet and start checking my levels 4x's a day. I cried with the news.
We had our a/s a week ago and everthing looks good! HB was 144 and weighed 9oz. There's a pic in my siggy. And we found out we are having a BOY!!!! So excited!
Always rooting for the TTGP's! Hoping you all get your BFP's soon!!

Aww I love how you announced! Very cute!
Woah, congrats mama!! Please keep in touch and let me know how things are going!!

Mndyhywrd: thanks, you're so sweet! Loving your cute bump
Gah! I'm on IG! Isn't that enough social networking?!
Awww he is ADORABLE! Congrats MDem!!
Wtf is IG?

Wait, you passed the one AND the three hour but she is treating you like you have GD? That just sounds off. I failed the 1 hour and passed the 3 hour (fasting # was good, 1 hour draw was bad, 2 hour draw was good, 3 hour draw was good but low) and they had me redraw the 3 hour again at 26w and I had the same result of failing the draw at 1 hour but passing all of the others with a super low 3 hour draw.
Either way, it sounds like you'll be eating healthy which is a good thing - it just sounds off that they are treating you like you have GD with passing tests.
I am so late to this party. Lucy is 5 weeks old and chunking up. She eats all. the. time! The growth spurt is killing me, smalls. I feel like an over-worked dairy cow. I love her more and more every day. She is showing glimmers of "waking up." We can get random smile out of her now and then that are clearly not gas, but it's more towards inanimate objects and not towards people yet. Her eyes are clearing up and she looks at us for long stretches, and she also will follow our voices. She is such a dream baby (so much easier than her brother)!

That was a typing fail on my part. I failed the one hour. Mine came out the same as yours, with a good fasting, high 1st hour, good 2nd, and low 3rd. What did they do for you? The eating healthy can't hurt
ETA: my numbers were as follows: 86 fasting, 192, 139, 64

Do they do glucose tests earlier now or only on certain conditions? Another gal I know who is due in April found out she has GD too, but at my OB (and from what I remember with my pregnancy with DS at another practice) the glucose test was done around 27 weeks.
Tyler (10/29/08)
and Lily (4/21/13)
I notice you have PCOS and were on Metformin, do you also have insulin resistance? Just curious.
We didn't make any changes to my diet since I passed the 3 hour twice (I had it done at 13w and then again at 26w) with just that 1 hour draw of them being a fail. A isn't measuring big at all and I haven't gotten above my pre-preg weight (lost a lot in 1st tri) so that may have something to do with it. If I was gaining a lot of weight, I think they might have done some diet modification.
I missed your BFP, Congrats! Hope you have a Happy and healthy 9 months!

Shay-I do have IR. I have gained some weight, around 5 lbs so far. I'm not sure if my doc is paranoid or just really aggressive.
ROS-my doc wanted to do it early because of my existing IR PCOS. She wanted to keep an eye on it early so the plan was to do it at 18 weeks and then with passing tests, repeat it again at 26 weeks.

Paranoid or aggressive, it won't harm you! I was really paranoid about having GD because I have celiac so I am already super limited in foods. I hope the diet is easy to manage and not too limiting.
Haha, I love this!
I'm looking forward to seeing your bump pics!
You are glowing, and so cute!
Eags: I love your pics!
Larhun3: I think I saw your BFP post, but congrats again!
Old Glory: not sure if you recognize me, 2nd Tri already, that's awesome!
Erinm: Congrats, again!
Shay- I don't blame you for not being up, I would do the same if I worked from home. Can't wait to see pics!
I love all the bumps, and babies! I definitely have to remember to read this thread!
ETA: added to this post. I should have read the entire thread before posting, lol!
Stupid internet outage and I'm late to the party! Not too much to report. I have my 12/13wk appt on Nov. 28th.

PgAL/PAL Welcome
MT is going to be 12 weeks on Friday. He is ridiculously smiley pretty much all the time and he just started giggling this week- freaking adorable. He's getting way too big way too fast... I wish I could pause this time because I feel like we're flyin through it!
Aww Lucy is adorable! I love her eyes...they look so bright!
I am ridiculously late to this thread, but I actually have a picture!
I am 29 weeks tomorrow. We started painting the nursery (grey and green). Once it's done, I'll post pictures! Our crib, mattress, and glider are all here and we are just waiting for the painting to be done before setting up! I can't believe I only have 11 weeks left.
I have finally given in an bought maternity clothes. Up until a week ago, I was wearing my regular jeans with a hair tie holding them together, but I have surrendered. There's no hiding him anymore!
This is a bump picture from one week ago with a bonus cat picture. I'm sure cat diapering photos will be coming soon as well.
As always, lots of love to TTGP! Always rooting for you!
