Re: ~~*TTGP Grad Check In*~~
Everything is great. Our little MAN is 1/2 baked and we are over the moon. This week has been the first where strangers have been asking me if I'm expecting which is a wonderful feeling. Our focus now is on getting the nursery ready. We have all our furniture, so now we just have to get all our office stuff out and paint the walls. He'll be here soon. I can't believe how fast time is flying by!
Am I really the first one here??? (I'm home sick today, so I caught it early for once.)
Nora turned 8 months old yesterday, and there are 2 new pics in my siggy. The Santa one is classic.
I can't wait to see all of the bumps and babies!!
P.S. I texted Mchup. She's moved and unpacking, but hopefully she'll make an appearance.
That is good to hear. Unpacking is my favorite part of moving (I'm a nerd, I know)

Hi ladies! Hope you are all keeping well this week. As always, I'm wishing you all lots of luck and cheering you on.
I had a wonderful u/s appointment yesterday. They were checking to see if my low-lying placenta had moved out of the way, and the tech said it has! I will see my OB on the 20th to confirm, but so far it's looking good for no c-section!
Little Ashley is measuring right on track, and we had them confirm that she most definitely is a girl! She had her eyes open at the u/s, which is such a strange thing to see, but wonderful at the same time. She has fat on her body now, so she looks a lot more like an actual little person, I think yesterday's appointment was the best one I've had yet.
Have a great week ladies! I'll let my BMB know this post is up!
ETA: A pic!
8 months! How time flies.
Love the new pics, she's adorable! 
She looks HUGE! How tall is she now?

Isla is 6 months and she finally had a tooth poke through after a miserable week that included her shots and a cold. Poor thing. She is trying to crawl, rolls around like a fool, giggles/smiles all the time, is attempting her 'miss america wave' and some clapping if encouraged. She also likes to read.
Everything is going well here in my 11th week. Time has really flown by. We finally told our parents over the weekend. We sat them down and said "We have an early Christmas present for you." We gave each set of parents a card that said Grandparents-to-be with a copy of the u/s pic inside. My mom swore she knew what was coming, but I don't know. Everyone was so happy for us, and we are so happy that our families are "in the know" now.
We will be telling our friends this weekend, as we are having a Christmas party to announce the news to all at once. Can't wait! Then the week after we have our NT scan on the 14th. I am waiting patiently for that too.
Good luck to all the TTGP ladies!

I'm obviously so far from pictures, but wanted to post in my first-ever grad check-in!
After a low 1st beta, my numbers have been climbing well. And I feel fine so far, so all is good here! Waiting for my first appointment (Dec. 19) feels interminable, but oh well. I've got plenty of end-of-semester work to keep me busy!
Tina, you look fantastic! Many congrats on your little guy!

BFP #1 August 23
Morning ladies! I'm doing great! Most of the nausea is gone, and some of my energy is coming back so that is a good thing, especially since Christmas is right around the corner. Nothing new to report. I have stretching pains (like a dull cramping sensation) nearly all day so baby is making "home" bigger. My short torso is not lending itself well to the re-arranging of my internal organs so I look huge already and I'm only 12w6d today. I have actually lost 2lbs due to nausea and food aversions, but the doctor said that is normal. We go for another appt. on Dec. 14th.
congrats to all the new BFP's out there and YAY for all the progress you Grad mama's are making!
I haven't checked in for weeks now! All is going very well for me (knock on wood!). Baby boy, Grant Joseph, is kicking, squirming and letting momma know he's ok. Poor kid gets the hiccups about three times a day! It's getting hard to do my daily chores and whatnot - time for DH to chip in!! My baby shower is this weekend and I'm very excited for it. Tomorrow is my last four-week prenatal, I'll start going every two weeks now... so we're getting there!
Hope everyone is doing well and healthy. I love lurking to see BFPs and helping fellow CBEFM ladies.

D will be 6 months old on Monday - whoa.
He's doing all the normal baby stuff.. Rolling non-stop until he pukes, getting pissed off that he can't crawl, screaming when I don't shovel food into his mouth fast enough, yada yada. He's an awesome kid though.

I am 17 weeks today!
M/S is back with a vengance. It is not as bad as it was, but it's still here. However, I am taking it as a sign that everything is still going well with the bean in there. Nothing too much new to report. Regular pants no longer fit me and I have an actual bump. I have an apt tomorrow night and then I'll schedule my anatomy scan for sometime right around Christmas. I'm very excited to make sure everything is growing and looking normal, and of course finding out if this is going to be a little he or she!!
Routing for all of you TTGP ladies and congrats to all of the recent BFPs!
4th BFP-August 2014- Due May 12, 2015
Thank you! YOU are adorable.
Last time she was measured was 6 weeks ago, and she was 28.25" and in the 98th %ile for height! I'm 5'8 and DH is 6'1, so I guess it's not shocking.
6 months!! Wow! He sounds awesome.
Plus, he's suuuuuper cute.
Mine is boring. Yesterday I went to bed a 7:30pm and it was glorious. This week we will be going to our first doctor's appointment and *crosses fingers* will get to see a heartbeat. It is all ridiculously exciting. Assuming that appointment goes well, we will be looking to tell extended family during Christmas call (ILs already know).
Ohhhh my! She would totally kick D's a$$.

I feel like a house these last few days, and looking forward to it getting worse! Grow Hannah grow!
Lily loves the bump pillow
Thanks so much! I had low betas at first too. Try not to focus on it too much. Focus on school and LOs levels will keep going up and up! Congrats!
Thanks! Your sono is too cute! Any feelings about whether LO is a boy or girl? I KNEW I was having a boy. I was 100% certain.
17w3d here! I've finally gotten that burst of energy that everyone had told me I would get in second tri, and I'm loving it...my apartment is finally presentable, as I had really been neglecting it during the weeks that I was either exhausted constantly, vomiting constantly, or both. I'm sure DH really appreciates that he doesn't have to do all of the housework anymore
This past Thursday I felt Nugget moving for the first time! At first I had thought that it was just a gas bubble, but then it happened again, and later on while I was watching TV it felt like popcorn popping right below my belly button. Saturday I felt it more intensely when I laid down to go to sleep, and even got 2 or 3 distinct taps amidst the fluttering. Now I look forward to the evening so much, so I can relax and watch TV or lay down for bed and feel the movement
I can't wait until I can feel it more strongly.
Here is my 17 week bump
Anatomy scan is 12/27! I'm psyched. I still think boy, so we'll see
Everyone's babies and bellies look great. Hope all you ladies are doing well, congrats to the new grads, and crossing fingers for TTGP

I WILL HAVE A BABY IN 1 WEEK!!!!!
I have planned for a vbac this whole pregnancy, but now that I am at the end, I am just over it all. Doc schedule my rcs for next tuesday. Hopefully she will show up on her own before that, but if not, I know there is an end in sight and I will have a baby in my arms this time next week. Other than that, I am just big and tired. I am off work and too lazy to do anything. I thought about going back, but my principal wants me at home, and frankly, it really is where I need to be. So, that's about it for me.
Going to see my OB today for a routine check up. Excited to hear baby again on the doppler. Sometimes between appointments I feel like I'm not pregnant anymore since I haven't had morning sickness in a long time and feel completely normal. But that bump is there and there's no denying that!
We'll be finding out the gender just before christmas and we're going to have a bakery make a gender reveal cake. We'll find out the sex along with DH's family on Christmas eve.
Best of luck for more BFP's this holiday season! Love is in the air!
Hi Ladies!
All is well here with our little June Bug and I! I'll be 11 weeks this week. Time seems to be going slow right now. I just want to be out of 1st Tri. We see our Midwife on Tuesday next week and from there we'll schedule the ultrasound and blood work for the genetic testing. So hopefully by Friday next week we'll get to see our little one again! Once we have that ultrasound and know there's still a heartbeat, we're coming out of the pregnancy closet so to speak lol I can't wait to tell our friends & extended family.
Still no bump yet but I definitely do not fit into ANY of my pants so I've had to switch to maternity pants and DAMN they are comfortable! I'm going to start taking bump pics at 12 weeks. Prior to 12 weeks it's all just been bloat for me so there's no point.
Hope all is well with you ladies and wishing for holiday BFP's all around!

Baby Karrot 2.0 - 6.25.2015 - He's here! Via VBAC @ 36 weeks.
I haven't checked in in awhile, so hopefully so of you remember me! I am 13 weeks today - baby is the size of a peach! M/S has started to slow down, but some days I am just as sick as I was a month ago. I've also been able to stay up past 8pm the past week so my enegry must be coming back!
I still don't really have a bump, but my clothes are getting uncomfortable. I think I'm in the stage between regular and maternity clothes.
We had our NT Scan Friday - it was so fun to watch baby stretch his/her arms and neck. I had a subchorionic hemotoma at 6wks and spotted for a good month. I'm so happy that it has subsided!
Hey everyone! I don't think I've ever posted in the grad check-in, but I finally have a little bump to show so I thought I'd post. I have my 16 week appointment today, and I've been doing great! I had no symptoms at all so far except for extreme fatigue in 1st tri, but now I'm back to feeling totally normal again. I've gained about 10 lbs total so far. I love seeing everyone's updates!
Here is my 18 week pic:
The big news this week is that my A/S is FRIDAY!!!! I can't wait to find out if baby is a boy or a girl! I am having trouble focusing on work
You are too cute!! Any guesses if boy or girl?

Hi Ladies!
Just hit 5 weeks and so far only symptoms are nausea and fatigue, with lower back aches here and there.
First appt is Dec. 22nd and will include an u/s. I've had b/w drawn 3 times now to monitor low P4 levels, but after starting progesterone supps everything is rising well. I'm still waiting on my results from the third blood draw on 20DPO (yesterday), but here's the other two.
13DPO: hcg- 38, P4- 8.3
15DPO: hcg- 133, P4- 28.6
The bloat is already starting and is biggest in the late afternoon/evenings. I actually had to rubberband a pair of jeans yesterday LOL.
Miss you girls like crazy, and I lurk over here constantly hoping to see some BFPs!!! Take care and FX for you ladies

He does look pretty awesome. Such a cutie!
This is my first time posting in the check in! I didn't post a whole lot, but I was in chat a good bit before my BFP.
At my next appointment I got my results and the urine collection came back okay! Baby's heart rate was 155 bpm and my blood pressure was down to a normal level. So all is good now! We declined any first tri testing so my next ultrasound will be at 20 weeks (somewhere around the end of January). Bought my first pair of maternity and am in love with them!!
At my second appointment around 10 weeks my blood pressure was slightly high. They ordered a 24 hour urine collection. Baby's heartrate was 170 bpm

Made so many amazing bump friends along the way... Congrats to my bump besties and IRL friends..sbuxsweetie (Colin is here, and is going to be a big brother!),kellbranc (Luca is growing so fast) and lots of prayers and baby dust to willamina (HUGS) So blessed to have met these ladies!!!
Things are great. We are so thrilled to be having a boy! I have been feeling pretty good, full of energy and no issues. I am just so happy to have made it this far and I am very confident that things will continue.
I love seeing all the updates, the new BFP and the March moms who I still stalk on occasion
Congrats on a little boy! I have been a stalking slacker lately... So so great to see you are issue-free
Half-baked over here! Nothing new to report. I'm still adjusting on expanding even though I haven't gained a single pound (my son hates junk food apparently) so I feel like a freak science experiment.
Congrats to all the new TTGP grads!! I'm rooting for all of you TTGP ladies!!!
Most people are guessing boy! I have no idea... I did have a dream last night that it was a boy. I guess we'll see soon
I don't even know if anyone around here remembers me, but here is a pic of my Maddy who is 3 months old today:)
