Old regs and new, please come show off your adorable babies and bumps!! Much like this cute puppy, I can't wait to see your updates!!

Hi!
I'm 30 weeks! There's something about hitting 30 weeks that makes me realize how close I am to meeting this little kicking machine in person. I'm still feeling good and have been very fortunate health wise throughout the pregnancy. Baby is super active and I've been taking video of my moving stomach when H isn't around so I can show him just how crazy it's getting in there.
My goal is to finish up the paint touch ups in the nursery and get the wall hangings up. (Btw..I heart Etsy!). I'll attach some pictures of what I have so far.

Good luck ladies!

I'm early .... That never happens!

I can't believe I'm still pregnant. I'm 10w3d and not much going on here. We did order a Doppler and we were able to hear the hb for the first time last Thursday. So now I have to listen to it every morning. I'm actually starting to feel comfortable and even going to buy some maternity clothes today at a real maternity store.

I have an appt with my OB tomorrow for blood work for genetic test and Doppler. We decided were team green so the test is just for that 1% chance of error of the PGD.

No pictures anymore because my OB is treating me like a normal pregnant person so my next us won't be until closer to 20 weeks.

I have a 16 week old outside baby! He's still growing like a weed and is so so happy. I've been lurking still and am LOVING seeing all those BFPs! Here's a temporary pic from last Friday!

Also, in case you are like "who the hell are you!?!", I was originally jessa8907 and then changed to jessafish when the ability to change SNs came about. Then with the Catfish on my BMB I decided to delete my old account and start fresh.

Texasgurly0313 · November 2014

T will be 11 weeks old on Thursday!

DH has had some rough nights with him around bedtime the last couple of nights, but I usually get to come home for a little while to relieve him so he can get some sleep. Little man is starting to get more social and interactive. He also thinks that rolling over is for the birds, and is interested in kicking his feet like he's trying to crawl or something. Sometimes, he'll kick so much that he will accidentally end up a foot or so from where he started on the playmat. And he accidentally found his toes the other day. He hasn't found them again since, but he keeps staring at them.

I leave you with a Halloween costume pic from Friday.

@DarcyHermione Yay! So glad to see you in here and just wanted to provide a bit of reassurance that cramping is normal this early. I had cramping until at least 6 weeks.

AlfiesMOM · November 2014

Good morning ladies! I hit 30 weeks this week and realize I HAVE to get my act in gear! With the holidays coming up my weekends are filling up fast! Here is a picture of my lovely nursery all still in boxes! We are out of town this weekend but I am hoping we can start making some progress soon!

Always rooting for you girls!

jaytee16 · November 2014

Hi TTGP! I've just been here, stalking and love titting away - rooting so hard for you ladies!

I am 24w5d, super excited to have hit viability last week! These little munchkins are kicking up a storm, getting stronger and stronger. Baby boy tends to be a little more active than baby girl, but she does like to throw down a good dance party every so often! I see my OB Thurs and will likely discuss/book the GTT and I believe she said at 28 weeks we start the more regular growth scans to make sure babies are growing around the same pace. I have to be honest, I am looking forward to seeing them again! Other than that, just chugging along, trying to keep the heartburn in check. We're finally making progress on the room that will be the nursery, so I'm feeling better about that. And that's all I got

FoxiePM · November 2014

Hey TTGP,

34+4 and my section is scheduled in 30 days!!!!! We toured the maternity floor last night and I have a breast feeding class tomorrow night.

I'll be honest, as much as I wanted this pregnancy I am totally over it. Everything hurts, sleep is a joke and I am more emotional than I have ever been in my life. I feel really guilty for feeling this way when I know others would kill to be in my position. Infertility makes you feel like you have no right to complain.

There is a light at the end of the tunnel and I am greatful for that!

I miss you all and I am always rooting for you!

abcdefghijk12345678 · November 2014

I can't believe I go here now!!! I'm only 4 weeks 3 days, so I am still POAS like crazy. My symptoms are pretty mild so far, but I doubt they will stay that way for long!

Good luck to all my TTGP ladies!

sthrncharmer · November 2014

Hai ladies!!!
I'm so freaking happy for Jefa and Darcy! Add hormones to the mix and there may have been some ugly tears

I'm still knocked up at 11w2d. I went to my last every other week scan last week. I get to go back to monthly apts, yay. Doc saw baby doing the mermaid dance on the screen and of course the little bugger wouldn't sit still enough so she could get an accurate measurement. So baby was measuring as far as a week ahead to right on time. Trying to get a hb on the ultrasound was another feat entirely! Luckily we were able to get it for a couple of seconds enough for H to record it. We definitely made some grandparents cry that day.
I'm still fighting nausea/vomiting along with all the other fun ailments. Honestly I'm just ready to be off all my meds so I can start feeling like a human again. I think baby is showing it's love by kicking my butt on a daily basis

Love to you all and I'm always rooting for you!

Edit: words

Hi ladies! I'm 7w3d & still pregnant, at least we think so. Last Thursday I started bleeding like crazy & passing big clots, I was pretty confident I was out. Friday morning we went in to confirm the loss, lo & behold the little squirt was still in there & looking just fine, hb was 141. It looks like I developed 1 or 2 SCHs. They checked both areas & neither had active blood flow. There were 2 blood filled sacs left behind that were sitting right on top of the gestational sac. Right now I'm restricted to zero activity until I go back this Friday. Hopefully they have resolved so I can go back to something resembling a normal life. I tried to make an appointment with an OB yesterday, but I can't get that done until my RE makes a decides when he plans to discharge me.

Symptoms are in full effect. Nausea kicks my ass 24/7, I'm exhausted, my boobs are absolutely killing me, awful headaches & I don't get to sleep more than 1-2 hours before I'm up to pee again. Luckily, there's been no more bleeding though. I'm cramping, but hopefully it's all normal.

Big, big congrats to Darcy & Jefa! Hoping to see some more BFPs soon!

Here's the squirt from Friday. It's looking rather phallic. Hopefully there's something a little more baby shaped this week

wishiwaspreggo · November 2014

Welcome, @DarcyHermione!!! So excited you're joining the grad thread I was also a cramper for many weeks. I think they finally stopped at 10 weeks for me. I blame my nasty Prometrium for that.

AFM, I'm 22 weeks along. I still haven't felt any movement or kicking which kind of sucks but being a bigger lady I think I may just have more cushion for the pushin' which is softening his tiny blows. I keep getting bigger and feeling more and more achy so I guess it's safe to assume he's doing okay in there.

My pelvic girdle pain has finally become unbearable so I am getting help from a chiropractor. I was alarmed when he told me he wanted me to come in 3 times a week for adjustments, physical therapy, massage, and electro-stimulation but then I realized insurance will cover it all so I may as well stick to the program.

I had my first round of adjustments yesterday. It actually felt very good I go again this afternoon! Woo!

beckynsean11 · November 2014

@irishgrover‌ I'm so glad everything is ok. Stay put little girl!

dr_pr · November 2014

I'm so happy to see @jefa621 and @darcyhermione here! Congratulations to you and the other ladies with brand new BFPs.

@irishgrover and @beckynsean11--FX for sticky babies that stop scaring you guys!

I'm at 38w3d and feeling absolutely gigantic. I have people openly staring at me in public, and my students live in fear that I'll go into labor during class. I've given up the lab portion of my class, but am still teaching the lecture this week. I'm going to consult with my OB about stopping lecture after this week, but I'd really rather just make it through next week as well. My pelvic and hip pain is ridiculous and sleeping is hard. Artoo is still a huge mover, and usually has a foot wedged into my rib cage. All that being said, I will miss having him inside of me (especially since this is my last kid)!

DD is so excited to be a big sister, and had a great time on Halloween. I'm so happy that I was able to take her trick or treating.

Irishcurls · November 2014

Hi ladies!! 23w3d for me! Over the weekend Miss was having a major dance party, first time seeing kicks on the outside. DH was all "wtf was that??!" Bless him.

Have been getting a little crafty, the makings of a crib quilt and a little peasant dress/diaper cover for your enjoyment.

nannabee21 · November 2014

Hey TTGP!! So happy to see all the new grads in here! @DarcyHermione‌ I had that heavy feeling in my uterus and pre-period cramps for at least 12 weeks, and I still check for bleeding when I wipe.. I'm not sure you ever stop that. Haha

I'm 20.4 today and we found out yesterday that it's a boy!! He is measuring one day ahead of schedule and was super active. His movements are getting stronger and I can see them from the outside now at times. Everything checked out perfect and I'm so relived. Now we need to get our butts in gear and start preparing for our little guy!

mander82 · November 2014

Hi guys!

I am late today.....I am so ready to meet this little guy. My pelvic pain is intolerable and my feet are blown up like balloons. Still working though....I am fighting through this so I can spend every day of my measly maternity leave with my little fella. I am starting to get people asking me if I am still here.....um.....yes...I am still here. Hopefully the full moon on Thursday brings something on.

We have everything assembled and ready for his arrival, just need the baby!

So excited to see some of the recent BFP's!! Keep em coming Ladies!!!!

katietopaz · November 2014

Hi TTGP! A big congrats to Darcy, Jefa, and all the new grads joining this week! @DarcyHermione, I also had cramps the first couple of weeks. I also had a u/s at 6w1d and did see the heartbeat, but the tech had told me there was a good chance it would be too early, so I wouldn't panic if you don't see one.

I had an appt yesterday, one I was feeling anxious about since I'd been having a lot of spotting from weeks 5-9. We'd had a good u/s at 6w1d but I was very much on edge going into this appt. Fortunately, all went well! The doctor rolled a little u/s machine in since she thought it would be too early to hear the heartbeat on the doppler. I was worried at first, since she had to press pretty hard on my stomach and we still weren't seeing much, but finally got a little glimpse of baby. It was blurry, but baby was definitely wiggling around and we saw the heartbeat!

I feel like I can breathe a big sigh of relief and be optimistic. DH and I are even working on our announcement, which I was putting off until yesterday's appt. It's going to be Disney-themed, I can't wait to share it with our extended families, and FB.

After our NT in two weeks, we'll make that official!

Love seeing all the recent BFPs!!

Yay! My first check in too! Thanks everyone for the congratulations! I guess I would be 4 weeks 2 days today. I had my repeat beta drawn this morning at 10:45 and I'm (not so) patiently waiting for the result. This is agonizing But I will definitely update when I know!
Well I have no news. I had to get this drawn at the hospital and I have a feeling that mine was not high on the priority list. So I guess I'm stuck waiting till tomorrow. Sadz.

But you will update us tomorrow, right?

ramaholic · November 2014

Love, hugs, and all the positive vibes in the world, Budders. C'mon, little one, wake up!

beckynsean11 · November 2014

Thinking of you @Budders12! I hope you get your beta results soon @jefa621!

yurmom · November 2014

Lydia was 5 months yesterday. She's holding her head up really well and lots of smiles and some giggles. I wish I had more to say about her but I've been so consumed with finalizing everything out after my Mom's passing. I finally have most of that finished out, it'll be kind of weird, Lydia was born the the day my Mom started chemo and my life has not been "normal" since. I feel like my check ins are more about my Mom than my Lydia, but I miss my Mom terribly. Much love to you TTGP ladies and always hoping for BFPs! Squeeee to @darcyhermione and @jefa621!!!

BankerBSN · November 2014

HOLY SHITBALLS!!! How did miss both @DarcyHermione‌ AND @jefa621‌ BFPS?!?! I am the worst lurker.

Ladies, I am so silly excited for you both!!! I may or may not have tears of joy running down my face.

I guess I should say something about me here...35ish weeks with only 4 weeks to go. Oh, and pregnancy insomnia is an asshole.

LadyAnnibal · November 2014

This is my first time here so, Hi everyone! I am 4 weeks today and my first appt is scheduled for 12/3. I've been experiencing cramps, mood swings, and on an off dizziness since I POAS. All of those are normal so I'm not horribly worried.

Fx for everyone to have a happy and healthy 9 months.
