TTGP Grad Check-In!

Ber09 · June 2011

Good Tuesday morning, Grads and TTGP!

I hope everyone is doing well. I'm really excited to see how our grads are progressing!

Good luck to those delivering soon, in the first tri and everyone in between. We're hopeful to send a lot of people your way in the near future.

Without further ado.Let's get this thread going!

amandaloren · June 2011

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:)

iluvmylab · June 2011

I've been MIA for awhile from the check-ins, but now that it's summer, I have more time! I still lurk here quite a bit, but I only recognize a few posters from back when I was here.

I'm into 2nd tri now and have been feeling pretty good. I'm back into a regular exercise routine but had to get out the Be Band for work pants this morning, LOL. I'm looking forward to our anatomy scan in about 4 weeks. DH and I are excited to find out the sex of our LO.

alhal · June 2011

Good morning girls!

I'm 13 weeks 4 days pregnant today. Time is finally moving along more quickly. Unfortunately, I still feel lousy most of the time. As I've said in past check-ins, I was a late bloomer and didn't start getting sick until around 10 weeks. I'm still feeling sick almost every day and throwing up several times a week.

I had my NT scan last Thursday. Baby is measuring right on track with a heartbeat of 154. The tech gave us an 80% guess of boy. There was definitely something there, so even though I'm not going to go paint the nursery or buy a bunch of boy stuff, I'm pretty confident he is right. The measurements were all normal, but I'm still waiting to get official results once the blood work comes back.

I still haven't taken any belly pics yet, but I'm looking forward to seeing all the other cute TTGP-grad-mamas!

ETA: Here is a pic of my love-bug:

Good Morning Everyone! I don't have anything too exciting to share yet. I feel like for the last week (since my BFP) I have been sleeping non-stop. The exhaustion is insane! DH and I decided that I'm not going to worry about working and I'm thrilled to be a SAHM, especially since that means I can nap during the day.

I just wanted to pop in and say I miss my TTGP Buddies!!! I'll be lurking here and hoping to see you all over on First Tri soon. <3<3

btsrc5 · June 2011

Good morning girls!

I am 21w5d. I am still having trouble eating from 4pm to 8pm, which basically just means a late dinner for me. We finally have our a/s tomorrow!!! We can?t wait to see LO and make sure everything is ok? and find out gender. Then we will be able to get started on our nursery.

We are taking a babymoon to Mexico in 26 days (not that I am counting). J

Here is my 21w picture. I feel like I have ?popped? since then, but I won?t take another picture until Thursday at 22 w.

Kyle523Nicole · June 2011

Good morning! I've been so crazy lately, I haven't done a TTGP check in at all! What a poopy TTGP Grad am I, huh?

Anyways, I'm doing well! We went to our first appointment this past Friday, got to see the peanut & hear the heartbeat too. It was Sooooo cool!

The m/s is kicking my ass this week, I had been OK just queasy off and on (like I was on a boat) but this week it's gotten worse. I'm hoping it doesn't last long!

Other than that, things are going pretty well. I get really bloated by evening, so I strut around the house pretending like it's an actual baby bump and DH makes fun of me LOL.

I hope everyone else is doing super well, and I know I'll see you all soon!

I miss you Key! Even though of course I'm so excited that you are on the other side now Yay for getting to be a SAHM, how exciting! Glad to hear it's all going well so far!

MillerTime13 · June 2011

Good morning, everyone! I hit 30 weeks on Saturday and I can't believe we're under 10 weeks to go. Yikes! My first baby shower was Saturday too, and it was nice. I was able to make some progress on the nursery over the weekend as well. I feel like there is still so much to be done.

Baby girl has been doing a lot of rolling around in there and some of her movements and positions are becoming a little uncomfortable for mom but all in all I still feel great. I have my regular check up today (and will also get a peek at my mat pics this afternoon - yay!) T&Ps to all who need them and I can't wait to see everyone's pics and updates!

catahoulatte · June 2011

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

" mce_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!!

Ughghgh. Your bump pics make me so jealous.

hahaha Well thanks, I guess Stick out tongue

Nikkoli110 · June 2011

Hi ladies! Hope you all are doing well! I am doing great, feeling so much better, loving 2nd tri! We found out this Saturday we are having a little girl! We are ecstatic! We went to an elective ultrasound with DH's parents, brother and SIL, and my mom, sister, niece and new nephew. I could tell almost right away, baby was in just the right spot! I had a feeling since about 5 weeks that it was a girl That's pretty much it, I'll attach the money shot picture of our LO, we are so excited!

rxy5309 · June 2011

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!)

btsrc5 · June 2011

Cmom- what a cute bump! Where did you get that adorable dress?

Amandaloren- your bump is fabulous!

MT- you are looking great! I love the nursery so far.

Azrayla · June 2011

kujayhawkgirl · June 2011

Good morning, girls! Everything is going great here. We found out we're having a GIRL and her name is going to be Abigail (not sure of a MN yet). The nursery is ready to go excpet for the decorations. Speaking of nursery decorations, I "stole" an idea off of Etsy for a piece of nursery artwork and I made it yesterday, and although I may be biased, I LOVE the way it turned out ... I think it's so cute, that I had to share the picture below. There's also a picture of me from 21w0d. I'm still lurking over here and wishing you all BFPs!!

Thank you! I felt pretty good in the dress, first time I got dressed up since being pregnant:)

mrsfowler1016 · June 2011

Hey Ladies! I hope you are all doing well! I'll be 14 weeks on Wednesday and time if flying by! My energy is coming back up a bit and I still haven't gotten too sick. I go back to the Dr July 7th and I'm literally counting the seconds. I haven't been since 9 weeks and still haven't heard the heartbeat so let's pray for no surprises at my next appointment. Rooting for TTGP always!

btsrc5 · June 2011

KU, wow! I love that picture you made! Very impressive. I also love the name Abigail

Hope your 3rd tri is easy-peasy for you

alison2379 · June 2011

Hi ladies! I happily reached V-day this passed Sunday (I only recently learned that that is Viability - if you give birth, they consider your baby viable for life in the oustide world and will take heroic measures to save him or her). Now I feel that we just truck on forward and each day is a day of better baking for our little girl.

While we're waiting on the crib and dresser/changing table combo, we did finish most of the decorating of the nursery. So, we just need to move those pieces in when they are due to arrive in August. Picture below of stage one, which is painted, curtained, etc.

I feel movement pretty much every day now, despite my anterior placenta. She particularly likes dancing around in the evening, and her movements are migrating closer and closer to my ribs.

And, today's bump shot, in which my belly has offically overtaken my boobs.

'houla - I miss your face. Literally, 'cause I can't see it in that pic Stick out tongue

bts - sorry for the evening sick time and GL at your anatomy scan tomorrow!

Ya Never Know · June 2011

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!

tosh24 · June 2011

MrsMichelleB:

Well Hello TTGP & Grads. 30 weeks now and it seems like time has flown. Not too much to report. I have been moved to a bi-weekly schedule at the midwife office now. Yesterday she determined that Chloe is head down and in place at which she also added anything after 35wks (July 24) she will not stop and I'm a go. I have my 3rd tri growth U/S next week on Thursday and I can't wait.

I did spend most of last Thurs in L&D for very steady contractions which are now under control. Yesterday I had light bleeding and probably the beginning of the dreaded MP. I'm on a no lifting, pushing, pulling no strenuous activity order until after the birth.

I have to wean myself off of this board because DH and I have made the decision and signed the papers that I will have a tubal done after Chloe is born. So I won't be TTC again (kinda bittersweet in a way). I will keep checking in though as I can until she is born.

Good luck to everyone.

30 WEEKS? How did that happen??

I hope LO stays cooking until September...I'm sure your day in L&D was pretty stressful. Lots of hugs

DH and are are going through the "permanent BC" talks....not an easy decision to make. I hope everything goes smoothly

Sweetest116 · June 2011

I'm doing great! Blood tests are coming out great, all levels are where they should be and the baby is right where he/she needs to be. Had my first u/s yesterday and the baby is so small we still can't see it, but the gestational sac and yolk sac were the cutest things I've ever seen, ha! Headed out to my prenatal appointment right now!

Still lurking on TTGP!

Azrayla · June 2011

MrsMichelleB:

:whistles: Nice hair. Been waiting to see the new do.

ah thank you. Didn't come out how so wanted it to at all but it'll do.

I plan to change it in a month or two hopefully to what I wanted. But its passable!

sbuxsweetie · June 2011

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

catahoulatte · June 2011

Thanks bts and tosh and Linds! It's not a maternity dress, I just have several flowy summer dresses with empire waists Wink I think I got it at Macy's like 2 years ago? LOL

MT, I miss YOU! Can't wait to see your maternity pics! And I always make a funny face when I take a phone pic...I guess I can't do more than one thing at a time-haha.

Alison-Love the nursery! It's going to be gorgeous. And you look so pretty! Wish my boobs had a chance of competing with my belly. Dumb little boobs.

Thanks! I don't know if you saw the "original" Etsy one is a post on our October board sometime late last week -- that's where I first saw it and fell in love with it. :oP I love the name we picked out, too ... I love being able to share it on here, too, because we're keeping it a secret IRL. )

Super cute dress Mama! I ahve resorted to the bent knee groaining to pick anything up. Dh just looks at me funny everytime I goran or make a noise, but it is always necessary to get the momentum to reach pr pick anything up! You looke great! Love the renos in the house they all look great!

quietvoice · June 2011

I haven't participated in these updates in a while, although I do lurk often... I don't know if anyone will remember me anyway, so I'll keep it short.

I'm 32 weeks tomorrow and as a teacher, I'm off for summer until the baby comes, so I'm being very lazy - which is nice because I'm not getting great sleep and I'm pretty exhausted. I agree with Catahoula above that dropped items now require a lot of internal mental debate as to whether it's worth it to actually bend down and pick it up.

Overall, I really can't complain. Our little guy has been measuring "normal" at every checkup and is active/moving a lot, and my pregnancy has been free of any complications or other red flags... just a couple more months!

CactusGirl · June 2011

I haven't posted the last few times, so I will today.

I am 34 weeks along... the end is near! Lately I have been starting to get more uncomfortable with each day, so I have a feeling the next 6ish weeks are going to be tough! I have also been having BH contractions a lot, which luckily don't hurt, but are just awkward and uncomfy.

Grace moves around a bunch, it is like my favorite feeling in the world. I think that is the one thing I am going to miss the most about being pregnant, but I can't wait to meet her and see what she looks like!

Overall I feel pretty prepared. The last things on my to-do list is to pack my hospital bag, install the carseat, wash the baby clothes and items (which I am probably going to do today) and pack a diaper back. Wow, that's it!

I missed that post somehow... but if I have a girl, I am going to have to copy you

If my SD's name wasn't so similar to Abby, Abigail would be at the top of our list.

romigu · June 2011

Hello ladies!! I still lurk on this board to mix it up a bit. Congrats to all the new BFPs and good luck to everyone trying!

I'm anxiously waiting for my anatomy scan on July 5th and so far don't have much of a bump. Things are going well though!

I don't have much of an update. Just a lot of movement from baby and me waddling everywhere. I still go to PT for sciatica. I have my glucose test next thursday, wish me luck! Here I am in my work bathroom this morning.

mrs.lizzieb · June 2011

Good morning TTGP gals and grads! We had our anatomy scan last week, and we found out we're having a girl! We are super excited, and the shopping has already begun Everything looked great at the scan- she's a tad small, but I was a small baby as well so there's no reason for concern. Here is my belly pic from last week at 20 weeks:

Congrats on the new bfps!
