mrsvp614 · February 2017

Thank you for the tag @NYTino24 !
I CANNOT believe the drama here yesterday! People suck so bad, but please know we are all here for you ladies and always have your backs.

*How far along are you? 9w+6d.

*Which birth month board/due date? Well, I'm Aug 31st, so I'm technically Aug, but spending more time in Sep17 since that timing is more likely and my pee buddies are there.

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? GREEN! Although DH asked me last night, 'Should we just find out? Maybe we want to find out." NO! Of course we 'want' to, but that's part of it.

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share Not that far ahead yet. We have some we like, but we don't plan on going with __ for a boy or __ for a girl. We want a few options for each, then decide when we meet our LO to make sure it fits.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I have some genetic issues in my family so we are doing the Counsyl testing next week. While close family & friends know now, we are waiting to do the big announcement once test results are back and we have our 13 wk appt. My bloat may give me away sooner though!

Once again, so sorry for the awful trolls here. I haven't been able to lurk as much, but damn, yesterday was rough.

berg · February 2017

*How far along are you? 20 weeks, halfway there

*Which birth month board/due date? June/June 21st

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Team Green

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share I think we are settled on the boy, the girl name is still up in the air. We talked about it a lot in the first tri, but since talks have dwindled. We still have a ton of time though. My guess is it may be a meet and decide sort of thing.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Not too much. I feel movement all the time now and DH felt movement for the very first time on Saturday. It was a great moment to share. The tech at my A/S also said the baby is measuring big. I'm intrigued to see what the midwife says today when I see her for my check up and we go over the A/S results. My dad was 11'11 when he was born so the fear is real over here...

I cannot express how proud I was of all of you ladies standing together and taking that troll down with some hilarious gifs. Y'all are my heroes. You're an amazing support group that betters every woman who takes the time to listen and learn.

littlebug2010 · February 2017

*How far along are you? 13 weeks 1 day, Hello Second Trimester!

*Which birth month board/due date? Aug 17, due 8/8/17

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Finding out, but wont know until mid March

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share HA we havent even talked about this yet.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? We had our 12 week US and everything looked really good. Nothing to be concerned about. Just waiting for DH's blood work to come back from counsyl. I am a carrier for CF, so we are checking to see if he is, though we are pretty sure he's not. I am also waiting for the blood work from my NT scan to come back, but im not worried. We also got to announce to FB this past weekend, and that was really fun. We have a lot of friends that we wanted to tell, but didnt want to have to call them all, so we just figured why not. It was a lot of fun.

tripledaggerWed95976 · February 2017

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share Uhhhh yeah. I'm hoping we can decide fairly soon, but it's not looking so good haha.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Beyond excited to have received low risk NIPT results and to finally be out of the first trimester. Also we are officially "public" and not hiding the pregnancy from anyone anymore.

RunRestRepeat · February 2017

Hey hey!

*How far along are you? 14+6

*Which birth month board/due date? July (not on there too much)/July 27

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Team finding out - hopefully we are able schedule my a/s at our next appt (Monday)

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I miss you ladies so much. It takes everything to not come in and defend you all when stupid trolls come knocking, but you all clearly have it under control (awesome job yesterday, btw)! Other than that, just happy to be in 2nd tri and excited to hopefully start feeling some movement/showing soon. Plus, I'm 30 today, so I have zero guilt for eating ALL the food!

[Deleted User] · February 2017

@tripledaggerWed95976. Second tri? Team pink!? Whaaaaa!?!??? Mind = Blown ❤❤❤

ETA I know I went totally rogue there, but after yesterday I'm feeling a little renegade!!! Don't anybody go getting ideas now. Back to your regularly-scheduled chatter-free Check-in... ;)

britvahok · February 2017

Thanks @NYTino24

*How far along are you? 13 weeks today!

*Which birth month board/due date? August/ August 9th

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Team Blue!!

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share DH and I have started name discussions but probably wont settle on anything until closer to August

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Thrilled with our NIPT results of low risk and ready to stop being nauseous all day!

daisy62103 · February 2017

Thanks for the tag @NYTino24 !

*How far along are you? 9+4

*Which birth month board/due date? Technically due Sept 2, but will deliver in Aug sometime.

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Will be finding out!

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share Haven't started talking names yet. Not until probably 15 weeks.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Found out at 7weeks that we're having twins! Even though we did iui, I didn't appear to have mature follicles at iui, so having two in there is a huge shock. We are excited though! Got to see the little ones yesterday again so I'm relieved for the time being. (pgal sucks!)

Elyse1384 · February 2017

Thanks @NYTino24!

How far along are you? 21w today

Which birth month board/due date? June 2017

Team Pink/Blue/Green? Team Green!

How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share Bridgette (or Bridget) for a girl and Aiden for a boy.

Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? More of a rant, but I'll be getting monthly scans to check for IUGR since I have a two vessel cord. Ugh... as if IF isn't frustrating enough and now there is one more thing o freak out about until delivery. Glad to see some sanity restored after the jail time for @adirat and @antoto! I still lurk to see how everyone is doing here and I swear TTGP gets some of the craziest trolls and SSs on TB.

tripledaggerWed95976 · February 2017

@businesswife ahhhh I know it's crazy!!! I can't believe how quickly the time has gone by already!!

sldp123 · February 2017

Thanks for the tag! Hoping it's still okay to post here after our babies are here. I posted last month a few days before my scheduled c/s so just wanted to update.

*How far along are you? 16 days postpartum. I delivered on 1/16/17 at 38+2.

*Which birth month board/due date?

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Team Blue x 2

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share We named our boys Arlo James and Conor Joseph.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Just so happy to finally have these guys here. It's been an exhausting couple of weeks and recovery has been a little rough, but overall we are all doing well. We went for a weight check yesterday and both babies are back up over their birth weights, which is great.

BigBadWolf12 · February 2017

*How far along are you? 6+2 (first one of these!!)

*Which birth month board/due date? Sept17. Dating scan in two weeks, but O-date gives an EDD of Sept 25th

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? we will find out when we can!

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share We have had a girl name picked out for over a year and half of the boy name since my childhood, finalized a boy name in the summer. So as long as nothing crazy happens, we are good to go. Right now we're calling it Johnny though, which is the name DH gave it last week when it was as big as an apple seed (the Johnny Appleseed song??)

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? don't think so. I'll post the link or at least an announcement in the TTGP checkin tomorrow when I make it. *TW* Also, I'm more pregnant than I've ever been now! 6+2 is when I miscarried before, and it's evening where I am, so I'm counting it

@NYTino24 I'm impressed you already paged so many of us 'newbies' in the original post!

icecubeinthedesert · February 2017

Thanks for the tag! (For some reason it didn't show up in my notifications, but it's a good think I still stalk you guys daily)

*How far along are you? 5+4

*Which birth month board/due date? Sept 17/Sept 30th (for now)

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Team finding out

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share **TW** after our loss, we'll be waiting until 2nd tri

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Had a scare yesterday with some spotting, but it stopped, and I suspect it was just irritation from some uncomfortable underwear. Went in to the doctor to check just in case and feel a little better now!

I miss you guys! We have a good group of TTGP grads in our BMB, but it's not the same without everyone!

realgoodthing · February 2017

*How far along are you? 17 weeks tomorrow!

*Which birth month board/due date? July

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Blue

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share Oh god. Very poorly. DH and I have very different taste and are having a hard time agreeing!

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? So happy to be in second tri and feeling better, if not actually great!

Still lurking here - loving all the troll takedowns (and this week's improved grad thread)!!

BigBadWolf12 · February 2017

@icecubeinthedesert my tag didn't notify me either :S

I was definitely stalking though...the past few days have been CRAZY here, but y'all have been so on point!

shstephenson · February 2017

Thank for the tag @NYTino24!

*How far along are you?

14+3; second tri, holla atcha girl!

*Which birth month board/due date?

July17. Not active on my BMB though.

*Team Pink/Blue/Green?

Finding out at the end of February. Can't wait!!

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share

We thought we had basically narrowed our boy name down, but now we aren't as sure. We will probably wait until we find out the sex before deciding anything.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share?

So happy @adirat and @antoto are out of bump jail! Love you ladies!

delujm0 · February 2017

*How far along are you? 20+5

*Which birth month board/due date? 6/16/17 - June '17

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Pink

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share I've reviewed the name book but DH hasn't even looked yet, so negotiations have yet to begin. We won't name her until we meet her, so there's not really a rush, but we like to have a list to bring to the hospital.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Had my A/S last week and everything looked normal. I feel her moving a good amount now. I kind of can't believe this is halfway done already. Miss you guys...I can't believe the Crazy that has been coming out of this board the past week...good lord.

krys-2 · February 2017

*How far along are you? 15+5

*Which birth month board/due date? July / July 21

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Blue

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share Not so great. LOL. I have a few on the short list, but haven't come to any decisions yet. The husband is not being super helpful with this task, either.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Things have been pretty status quo. I'm thankful to have had an easy pregnancy thus far. I'm finally felling like I'm getting some energy back in the sense of not wanting to crawl under my desk by 1PM, but things tend to tire me out quickly, which has taken some getting used to. We decided to do genetic testing, and got those results back about 2.5 weeks ago and everything was clear. As a bonus, we found out we were having a boy I'm hoping to get started on the nursery this month. I need to sell the furniture that's in one of our guest rooms so I can get the new stuff in.

TB ate the rest, damnit. I'll be back lol

Lmmtravels · February 2017

Thanks for the tag, @nytino24!

*How far along are you? 12 weeks, 4 days. Can’t wait to officially be in the 2nd tri next week!

*Which birth month board/due date? Aug. 17, but not active on it anymore.

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Team finding out at the end of March!

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share. DH and I are not discussing names until we’re in the 2nd trimester. I’ve been thinking of some already, though .

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Had my NT scan/ultrasound yesterday and got to see baby dancing around in there. It was so cute! Has good rhythm already, too haha.

I’ve been lurking a ton and am still thankful for the amazing community of this board!

TalesOfASocialIntrovert · February 2017

Thanks for the tag @NYTino24!

*How far along are you?

17 + 3 (I cannot believe how fast this is going!)

*Which birth month board/due date?

July but not super active there - I miss the organization and comradery of this board Due date is July 9.

*Team Pink/Blue/Green?

Pink!

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share

We've discussed names but not since finding out on Monday that it's a girl. I love my great-grand mothers nickname and old-timey names (think Ada, Ruby, Mabel, etc - names popular from 1900-1920). Hubby hasn't given strong feedback on any names yet.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share?

Pregnancy isn't easy - I see my endo every 2 weeks, OB monthly (twice monthly starting soon, twice weekly starting at 32 weeks) and now MFM appts tossed into the mix. But despite all that, it's FINALLY setting in that we're actually doing this. The anatomy scan with our MFM was Monday and it felt so surreal watching our little girl (whoa) on the monitor kicking away. I've been terrified this whole time that diabetes would cause serious fetal defects but after Monday, I finally feel ready to be excited (we saw her kidneys, all her vertebrae, and even all the chambers of her tiny little heart!). Sorry for the dear-diary-esk post - I miss this board and you ladies! I truly hope you're all doing well

Edited: spelling and again to add due date - bumping is rough tonight!

KirstinH88 · February 2017

@sldp123 Congrats on your bundles of joy!

*How far along are you? 27+4. Third trimester on Saturday (whaaaaaaat?!? How is that possible?)

*Which birth month board/due date? April/April 29

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Team Blue

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share. We are naming him Samuel Cruz.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I can't believe that I'm almost in the 3rd trimester!! Other than that, I'm really excited to have my baby shower at the end of the month and get the nursery organized.

dinosaur · February 2017

@NYTino24 - Thanks for the tag! Oddly, it didn't work for me either.

Also, you guys rocked yesterday!!! TB really needs to figure out it's policies and stop pushing it's users away!

*How far along are you? 4 weeks and 5 days

*Which birth month board/due date? October 6th

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Team finding out!

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share I already have a list that I made years ago. I was really excited to talk to DH about it but he wants to wait until we know the sex. Right now I'm so tired I don't even care lol.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I am so excited to do my first grad check-in!! I had some spotting at 12 and 14 DPO which freaked me out, but everything seems fine. I started to get a little morning sickness today and I am super tired. I keep saying that I have never been so happy to feel like crap!

you guys!!

NamelessAria · February 2017

*How far along are you? 21w6d

*Which birth month board/due date? June 9th

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Blue!

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share As some of you know we had our girl name all picked out but baby is a boy so it's back to the drawing board. My husband seems to have his heart set on using Mathias as baby's middle name as it's a family name on his side of the family. We're still very up in the air on first names. Right now the front runner is Elliot but we're not sold on it who knows what this baby will end up with for a name.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? My husband and I are so over the moon about our perfectly healthy baby boy. My husband was just absolutely adorable after the anatomy scan. As soon as the tech walked out of the room so I could get dressed he started gushing about how "OMG it's a boy! We have a son! I'm a daddy and I have a little boy!" He was so excited and it just melted my heart. I would have been equally happy with a girl and I just wanted baby to be healthy. So when I heard "it's a boy!" I didn't really feel anything other than "that's good to know." I don't feel like anything really sunk in till I heard at the end of the scan that baby is healthy and everything looked good. Once I knew baby was healthy I was able to start processing the fact that I'm having a little boy. Little boy is apparently an overachiever in there. He's measuring 1w6d ahead putting him in the 91st percentile which isn't too surprising since my family has big babies and my husband was a big baby also.

babymish · February 2017

Thanks for the tag @NamelessAria

It feels so strange to be posting here, I guess I had given up hope of posting here since moving more onto the IF board.

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Green at the moment but will be finding out as soon as we can.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share?

I'm not feeling so hot today, I think I picked something up from the many coughing and spluttering people on the tube. Hoping I can shake that off soon. Right now I just feel like I am living for the first ultrasound. The days can't go by quick enough!

redheeler · February 2017

None of the above, pretty regular normal pregnancy so far. Except for HBP again... yay -.- hopefully those platelets stay up this time and I can avoid the induction this time around.

NYTino24 · February 2017

Guys, some tags aren't working if I added them to the original post. Not sure why, but I copied them from Jan and then scoured some BMB TTGP check-ins and then edited the post. If you see someone on another board and they haven't checked in, let them know. Happy to see everyone coming back!!

starla · February 2017

Happy birthday @RunRestRepeat!!!

Thanks for the tag! I miss you all, but I'm lurking daily.

*How far along are you? 6w+3d

*Which birth month board/due date? Sep. 25th

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? I'm leaning towards team green, but DH is team finding out. We shall see...

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share. We have some favorites, but haven't decided yet.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I have a dating U/S this week. We're so excited to see our little blob!

starla · February 2017

@NamelessAria I love the name Elliot/Elliott. Your story about your H being so excited made me tear up a little. So sweet! I'm happy your LO is healthy.

PurpleRains · February 2017

@KirstinH88 HOW ARE YOU THAT FAR ALONG ALREADY?!

Thanks for the heads up about the tag @BigBadWolf12 and thank you @NYTino24

*How far along are you? 9+1

*Which birth month board/due date? S17

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? We will find out!

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share She will have a double name, true Southern style and he will have his daddy's middle name and my maiden name. At least for now, haha!

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I hate the drama that imploded over here but you ladies handled yourself well and with class. Don't ever forget who you are and from where you came

klstone25 · February 2017

@NamelessAria Thanks for the tag friend.

@babymish Your check-in makes me so happy! Congratulations!!

@PartiallyDomesticated I love you name choice!

*How far along are you? 15+5

*Which birth month board/due date? July 22

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? I scheduled the anatomy scan at my check-up last week. So in three weeks, we'll know if it's team pink or team blue!

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share. As of right now, it's Benjamin (nn Ben) for a boy and Madeline (nn Maddie) for a girl.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Just want to echo what @PurpleRains said. I lurked and caught some of the drama the past few days. I think you all handled it so well and I'm happy to see that the snark and gifs are still on point. you all!

abjm0325 · February 2017

How far along are you? 16w 3d

Which birth month board/due date? July ’17 EDD 7-17-17

Team Pink/Blue/Green? Team finding out! Only a month to go!

How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share We probably won’t seriously discuss until we know the sex, but we have a possible girl’s first name and the boy’s middle name would be after DH. So we have pieces but no complete names…

Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I switched from an OB to a midwife this week and so far I am happy with the decision. I wish someone had told me that it is okay to consult with multiple doctors/practices before choosing “your” doctor. I probably should have just known that, but lesson learned!

KirstinH88 · February 2017

@NameslessAria You are already more than halfway done?!?! Holy smokes!! I'm so thrilled for you. And I love the name Elliot. It would have been on the table for us, but DH has a cousin named Elliot.

@PurpleRains RIGHT?!?! I'm just as shocked as you are! These weeks have been flying!

I'm so happy to see everyone's check-ins!

rainbowturtles · February 2017

I was afraid to post last month until we had an ultrasound...ultrasound 1 week ago showed LO is measuring on time with a strong HB

*How far along are you?

9w1d

*Which birth month board/due date?

Sep 16

*Team Pink/Blue/Green?

Team wishy washy lol But probably finding out. I keep trying to explain to H that knowing the sex doesn't REEEALLY affect planning as much as he thinks but he's not easily convinced lol

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share

We came up with several boy names we like but have been struggling with girl names BUT I think we actually agreed on a girl name last night. We found a way to use my stepdad's name as a middle name regardless of sex, so that makes me happy. He died years ago from cancer and I know my stepbrother will also appreciate it (he never had kids).

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share?

I'm currently annoyed with the doctor situation here and had a little meltdown yesterday because the wait times are so long and I haven't really had my OFFICIAL first prenatal visit yet and it looks like I won't get one until I'm almost 13 weeks even tho I'm considered high risk because I'm AMA and have a connective tissue disorder. So it's a bit frustrating and unnerving but thankfully everything seems to be going well so far so I'm trying to just be grateful for that and be patient.

Also, looks like I have some lurking to do; sorry you all have had drama but sounds like y'all handled it well (not that I'm surprised!)

@PurpleRains any chance you'd want to share some of your girl double name ideas? DH and I are talking about using one as well but we just can't seem nail something down.

@KirstinH88 I know right?! It's so hard to believe I'm over halfway now. And you're 3rd trimester on Saturday! Where did the time go? I hear you on cousins ruling out perfectly good names. My husband has so many cousins and a couple of names I loved already belong to a cousin. If my husband's family wasn't so huge it would make this easier.

With my family pretty much every name is open except Jack which is nice and easy.

@babymish It makes me so happy to see you posting here!

@sldp123 Congratulations on Arlo and Conor!

@tripledaggerWed95976 Congratulations on making it to the 2nd trimester! I remember what a huge relief that was for me. And also, I feel like you just got your BFP a week or two ago. It's so crazy that you're 2nd tri already! So happy for you.

Hi everyone!! Can't believe the February check-in is already here!

*How far along are you? 37+2

*Which birth month board/due date? February BMB; EDD 2/22 but inducing Monday, 2/6

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Blue!

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share We are delighted to follow through with our plan to be jerks and tell this little dude his name before we tell anyone else.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? After 35+ weeks of a textbook, beautiful pregnancy, I started swelling aggressively and presenting with hypertension a couple of days before my 36-week checkup. Testing showed just a touch of pre-eclampsia, so my doctor is bringing us in Sunday night for an induction on Monday morning at 37+5. Little dude looks really healthy, though, so we're comfortable with the plan, even if it's not the one we wanted. Looking forward to bringing him home around this time next week!
