TTGP Grad check in

btaylor19 · August 2011

Show us the bumps, bloat, baby, nursey, whatever you got!

side note - does anyone who is regularly online early Tuesday want to to start posting this every week? I never get on until later and I hate to think we are missing updates because of it.

mchupie · August 2011

I'd be happy to post it

nebrtwin · August 2011

Obviously no bump yet, only a little bloat from time to time. Actually, I have been feeling pretty good, just been tired, eating every couple of hours, and my boobs hurt like crazy! My big news is that I go in for an ultrasound and "OB education" appointment tomorrow. I am really excited to see the little Husker fan I have growing in there, and praying that we hear a heartbeat tomorrow.

Side note, I want to thank everyone for the kind words a couple weeks ago when I posted my BFP in the Grad Check-in. I really appreciate it!

TKx2 · August 2011

Yay, my first check in! No pics yet, but the bloat is in full swing. I look the same as I did with DD at 12 weeks by about 6 p.m. I have my first appointment today...won't be much but I'll get to schedule my first u/s so I'm very excited about that! I've been way more nervous this pregnancy, so I'll feel much better after I see that things are progressing how they should be!

Ricola · August 2011

Not much new here...I had my regular check up this morning and our LO's heart beat was in the 140's, which is right on track. I have gained 10 lbs so far and am doing pretty well!

Lots of luck to all the TTGP ladies!

YAY! I've been waiting all morning for the check-in.

We had our a/s on Friday and.....

IT'S A GIRL!!!

I think DH was a little bummed at first, but he's super excited now. My step-daughter is over the moon that she is getting the sister she's been wanting for so long! She suggested the names of Thumbelina, Hanna (think Montana), and Heaven for names. LOL.

Baby Ram didn't cooperate for all of her measurements. I had to get up and go on two walks as well as get sugar in my system before we finally got baby to move into a position where we could get a good look at her heart. Everything looked fantastic...measuring right on track at 8 oz. Brain, spine, bones, heart and everything else look perfect.

Yayyy congrats, LP! Having a little girl is just so much fun.

MySweetBaboo · August 2011

YAY LEGAL!!! Congrats on the little girl!!!! So exciting!!

bellablue2 · August 2011

My first check-in!! No bumps to show yet, hopefully not for a while! lol...I am still feeling pretty good! I get pretty tired each day and take a nap. But, no major symptoms like morning sickness yet!!! Keeping my fingers crossed that there will be no hyperemesis repeats!!! Did have betas drawn and they looked good, so that was great!!!

Congrats on your little girl Legal!

All is well with me and baby girl. The doctor offered to pull me from work when I want because of my pubic bone separation issues (filed under things I didn't even know existed until this year: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelvic_girdle_pain), but my plan is to try to tough it out another month and then stop working 2-3 weeks before my due date.

I started on TTGP last summer,and I love seeing some of the grads that left early on in my stay when I was still really new and in awe of the whole board back for more. It's a lot more fun to lurk here now!

Oh, and those pregnant ladies who say that they didn't feel like having a drink the entire time they were pregnant: I don't believe them. I've been craving a (large) glass of wine for the last two months, but figure I've been totally dry for 8 months now, what's a little longer.

IT'S A GIRL!!!

I already knew this, but I just needed to squeeeeee all over it again. So excited for the Ramette!!!

I'm 11 weeks and feeling pretty good today aside from the fact that I am STARVING. I had to eat my lunch at 10:30 so I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to go get lunch #2 in a couple hours.

I had my second appointment last Thursday and got to hear LO's heartbeat! 166BPM. I immediately started crying, which completely caught me by surprise because I am NOT a sappy person. We have our NT scan on Monday. I am stoked for the u/s, but very nervous too, so I hope everything goes awesomely.

I hope everyone is feeling great and as usual I'm rooting for everyone's BFPs.

MillerTime13 · August 2011

Thanks for posting, btay!

We're under the two week mark and it's kind of crazy to think that I could have an outside baby any day now. I've been plenty uncomfortable but I don't think there are any clear signs of anything happening any time soon. Regular OB appt this afternoon and I think I will get my first internal check so we will see. Still working right up until the end. Sigh.

Thought the nursery would be done last weekend but there are still some odds and ends to take care of. I am nothing if not a procrastinator.

Here baby girl and I are on Saturday at 38 weeks. Holy crap those shorts look tight! haha

lewis0611 · August 2011

My first check in! Yay . I am almost 5 weeks along, and still 4 weeks away from my 1st appointment. I honestly feel fantastic today. My daughter starts kindergarten tomorrow so I'm a little emotional about that... lol.

Told my parents, and my mom was kind of a b!tch but oh well.. My dad was thrilled and so were my husbands parents (MIL would randomly squeal mid conversation even when we weren't talking about baby L).

Not much else to add I guess. Not coming out on FB or telling my daughter until after my 1st appt if neither of us slips and spills the beans before then.

mrssoprano · August 2011

Hi ladies! I haven't posted in an update thread in a while, but I'll be 15 weeks tomorrow. Nausea is better some days, but I'm still really tired. We had our NT scan a couple of weeks ago and everything looked good. U/s pic in siggy

You are looking lovely! She is going to be here before you know it

ProcrastinatingBride · August 2011

Hi, everyone!

**Sorry, I edited out the bedding pics. I love our bedding, but not 4 giant pics' worth.**

Not too much going on here. Just waiting for our next appointment and hoping our breech LO will flip before week 36. We are finally starting to get furniture into the nursery, and it's starting to come together (no pics yet - it's not THAT together). I got a bunch of clothes this weekend and organized it all by size. I can't wait for the dresser to come so I can start putting things away!

Hope everyone is doing well and feeling good. Praying for BFPs and good news and healthy babies for all. Miss you ladies!

Edited: Tried to get fewer than 4 pics of the bedding in there. Sheesh.

MillerTime13 · August 2011

Legal - congrats again on your girl!

Salt - ah yes, I remember the starvation and eating lunch in the morning! GL at your NT scan!

Ali - you look great, and you are a rock star for hanging in there at work so long!

purple4u · August 2011

Hi Ladies! I am 25 weeks this, my bump is out there in full action! Been feeling pretty good, so no complaints here. My baby shower is in a three weeks back home, which I am excited about.

I am officially looking for a new job once I start maternity leave. I hate hate hate my current job and just need to get through the next couple of months.

Congrats to all the recent grads.

Thank you, sweet friend! I am always looking for our morning threads, but nobody posts those anymore. Crying I feel weird for starting it, because I don't want to offend anyone by starting threads on TTGP. Hope all is well with you!

Lexie Marie · August 2011

Thanks, MT & Ricola!!

MT: I totally agree with Chupie...you are so freaking cute!

Ricola: My husband agrees with you and I keep going back and forth. I can't believe we are going to be finding out in like a month and a half!

ETA: And Legs and BBJ!!! Luff you ladies like woah.

megnwingate · August 2011

Congrats to the most recent BFP's and looking forward to seeing lots of BFP's from you ladies!

Everything is going great with me and baby girl! Still trying to think of a middle name for our little Zoe. We will be 24 weeks on Friday. 1 more week til V-day )

In NBR news, our house is on the market and we are hoping to sell soon! We had someone come view yesterday after only being on the market for 4 days, I think that's pretty darn good! And yesterday I got a phone call letting me know that there was a position come open in clincial for nursing, so I am now an official nursing student! These next 2 years will be HELL but totally worth it for our family!

Here is me at 23 weeks 2 days:

If only to see your lovely face every day!

kujayhawkgirl · August 2011

Good afternoon, girls! I've haven't checked-in in a couple weeks, but everything is going really well. I've been "banned" from exercising, because I kept having really bad Braxton Hick's after exercising.

Baby girl is moving all the time and she always used to lay sideways, but she has turned and is primarily vertical at this point.

We've arleady had both of our showers and have bought most of the other "essentials" that we think we'll need right away -- so, we're pretty ready for our little girl's arrival!

Here's a pic of me at 30w1d before a friend's wedding:

ksmit062 · August 2011

Good afternoon ladies!

I will hit 24 weeks this week, and so far I am really enjoying being pregnant. I'm enjoying it more the farther along I get, definitely didn't like the beginning parts of being scared and barfing! Our little man is kicking away in there all the time now. And I also have my bump in full swing, even strangers have commented on my "cute bump." We are working on the nursery, have all the furniture now as family has purchased it for us (we're super lucky!). Now it's just getting the everything else we will need!

I want to see these bumps! Congrats to all the recent BFP's and fingers crossed for those of you testing soon!!

meaganbrand · August 2011

Hi ladies! I've made it to 13 weeks and now just have light spotting so I'm so thankful for that. At my last appointment my midwife told me I can start relaxing so that made me feel good and baby's hearbeat was beating away at 155. She did a quick U/S for us, but all we got was the top of the head and some fingers. It was just nice to have a "regular appointment" where she checked my belly and boobs and what not. Now I dont have to go back for 2 weeks, and then I will be on regular 4 week appointments, yay! Here's my bump pic that I was finally brave enough to let DH take last night. It's not much, but its something. Also, we took one of those silly pee tests that are supposed to tell you the gender. It said boy. I'm of course taking that with a grain of salt.. however, DH swears its 100% accurate because he got the answer he wanted. Guess we'll know in a few weeks lol.

Oh, and those pregnant ladies who say that they didn't feel like having a drink the entire time they were pregnant: I don't believe them. I've been craving a (large) glass of wine for the last two months, but figure I've been totally dry for 8 months now, what's a little longer.

Alison, you look great! ITA about ladies who say they didn't feel like or missed having a drink. MH homebrews beer and made a batch on Sunday and it took a lot of willpower for me not to go grab an ice cold glass and get some out of the tap. Stick out tongue
