~~ 3T Grad Check In 8/21 ~~

jencity9 · August 2014

Good morning!

It's that time again! Please come in and update us on how you're doing! As always, we love pictures!

QOTW: What kind of cravings have you had, if any?

ttuprincess · August 2014

:-h Hello, lovely 3T ladies!

All is well here. I am inching closer and closer to third tri. I can't believe it. We signed up for child birth classes this week which seems crazy. I failed my 1 hour glucose test -- which doesn't shock anyone since I have IR PCOS. So I go on Saturday to take my 3 hour one. I am not stressing over it. I have known from the beginning I was at risk for GD since I am insulin resistant, so we will see what they say.

We made major progress with the nursery over the weekend. We got the pictures hung and all of her clothes and stuff people have already given us washed and put away. This weekend we tackle the closets. They are kind of like that Friends episode where Monica has the secret messy closet. I am afraid to open them.

Here is this week's bump pic:

I stalk you ladies all the time and am wishing the best for all of you! I think I am still smiling from the family reunion thread last week! Lots of love to you ladies.

QOTW: Beef. I generally don't like beef but this baby loves it. DH says "that's my girl" since he loves beef.

@calindi So exciting, can't wait to "meet" Ryan Henry!

Hi everyone! My first grad post, so exciting!

I had a blood draw Wednesday and my betas are at 1518! So, they more than doubled and I'm happy about that!

I guess since my numbers doubled they schedule an ultrasound for the following week so I'll be 5 wks 6 days. I'm hoping we will see the heartbeat but I know it would be very early and I'd be really lucky if I get to. My hope is that since I got a positive at 9dpo that I have an early implanter and mayyybe we will see it! My DH is also coming with me and he is looking forward to seeing if there is one or two in there!

QOTW: Not too much for cravings yet, I know it's still early. I am starting to get a queasy feeling and am getting very hungry but then as soon as I eat I get full really quickly.

As for the awards I wonder if you would like to re-nominate someone for my spots? I know voting will be soon and I'm hopeful everything will be okay and I'll still be a grad then. Wasn't sure what you thought!

Hey Everyone!! Not much has changed here, 6w1d today. Anxiously awaiting our ultrasound next Tuesday (especially since we were warned of the possibility of triplets… eek!) We haven't told anyone yet except for my sister who somehow guessed on her own. It still doesn't feel real. I miss you ladies! I'm too nervous to intro on any other board because I feel like I'll jinx it or something.

QOTW: No specific craving yet, but for the past 2 weeks I've wanted anything salty.

formerwigirl · August 2014

Hey ladies. I am 35 weeks this week. In fact tomorrow puts me at one month from my due date! Eeek can't believe I am almost there. I had an ultrasound today and LO is head down and measuring at approx 5lbs 11oz. I am 1cm dilated and 80% effaced...not that it really means anything in terms of when I'll go in to labor. I am suffering from awful exhaustion and I am ready to meet him/her already.

QOTW: What kind of cravings have you had, if any? I am craving a WI state fair cream puff. I grew up in WI and for some reason that's the only thing I've craved this whole pregnancy.

Lots of hugs to those that need them!!

Hi ladies!! Missing, lurking, and praying for you all. Tomorrow I will be 15 weeks and time is definitely going quickly. I am still really sick and losing weight so they are watching me but baby is still looking perfectly healthy so I am not overly worried. I have definitely started to pop out a little and I can now feel my stomach and figure out where baby is even though no movements or kicks yet. I am really excited to feel the first flutter and know if will really start go feel real once that happens.
QOTW: Unfortunately no real cravings yet for me as I am lucky if I can eat much at all so I eat whatever I can keep down.
Big hugs to everyone they needs them and fx for everyone especially our PUPO ladies! @jencity9‌ I am praying so hard for you and am hoping so much to read the best update yet on 8/23!! I will be thinking of you!

Thank you!!

And I cannot believe you are 15 weeks already!! I'm glad the baby is doing well, but I hope you feel better soon!

I swear she posted on here about me nominating her and she said sweet things. Was that not on this post?? Ok I'm not losing it right?!?!/

You're not. Her profile says "user banned" WTF?!? :-/ :-S :-??

Must be some mistake...

jaytee16 · August 2014

Hi ladies! Hope everyone is doing well! I'm always rooting so hard for you ladies!

I officially hit 14 weeks yesterday! It feels like such a huge milestone, I can't believe it's here! I've been feeling pretty good, the babies must be growing like crazy because 1) I am so hungry all.the.time this week, and 2) I had some serious back pain and cramping/RLP the other night. I guess if I'm housing two lemons, they gotta make space somehow! Besides that, the headaches come frequently, but I really can't complain too much. I'm hoping for some 2nd tri energy! Here is my growing bump

QOTW: I go back and forth between sweets and salty snacks. This week, ALL the snacks! lol

southernyankeegirl · August 2014

Phew... Well, nothing like a self-banning to make a girl feel loved! Thanks for missing me!!!!

Poster formerly known as CaIindi here - hoping my new name and slightly different avatar (hey, it's still Pooh!) keeps Crazypants from finding me too easily. And even still, I am glad for the fresh start to prevent anyone from pulling together the breadcrumbs of personal information I have left over the years. (If you HAVE found me, stalker girl, please realize I'd prefer if you would just live your life and pretend I don't exist.... Kthnxbye!)

So... I guess you can call me SYG for short now ;-)

I did want to thank @BunnyBerry‌ and @AlaskaDee23‌ for nominating me to be Most Remembered Grad. I have asked that the voting continue under the name CaIindi (so people actually do remember me ;-) ). I wanted to say simply that this board and you ladies got me through the toughest part of my life so far, and I will always, always, always be grateful. I stick around and give "love tits" of support and try to carefully comment when appropriate so as to not make anyone's day harder if they're having a rough time because I miss you ladies and lurk to see how you're doing. I do want you all (yes, all) to know that I will always support my 3T girls. Having been through IF bonds you, and I am forever grateful to those who were there for me. If any of you ever need to vent, talk something out, have feedback, be talked off the crazy ledge, and most definitely celebrate, please PM me. Seriously! I cannot possibly give back as much support as I received here. I will always be grateful and proud of being a 3T Grad, and would proudly display the badge in my siggy ;-)

Now, AFM.... 19w5d now and the bump is coming in beyond a beer gut now! We had our anatomy scan last week and we are having a BOY!!!!! His name will be Ryan Henry.

Everything looked great - on time or a few days ahead, right around the 60th percentile in most measurements... Except the diameter of the head, which is in the 90th percentile. Both DH and I have big skulls so the doctor says it's nothing to worry about at all, except I can't help but worry a bit about pushing that melon through my lady bits! ;-)

Little stinker wouldn't face the camera - he thought it was nap time and kicked the ultrasound wand when the tech tried to jostle him awake, then rolled further away. So here's his back, upper arm, and that giant melon!

Love you ladies!!!

jessimi06 · August 2014

@southernyankeegirl- you look great! I can't believe you're halfway there already! I'm sorry you're dealing with some type of stalker

**going back to lurking

southernyankeegirl · August 2014

@jessimi06 - You don't have to lurk!!!! I love when 3T regs pop in to talk on the Grad Check-In. Otherwise it just seems like we grads are just talking to a wall ;-) I love hearing how you guys are doing! Good luck with your FET next month!!!!!!
