lund · August 2017

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah my first Grad Check in!!!!!!!!!! Hai guise!!! ETA Thanks for the tag @Avrilmai

*How long were you active on TTGP and when? August 2016-July 2017

*How far along are you? 5 weeks tomorrow

*Which birth month board/due date? April - 4/5/2018. But sometimes I hang out in March a bit because all sorts of awesome ladies are there.

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? pretty sure we're gonna be Team Finding Out

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We've had a girl name picked out for about a year now, but we're having the hardest time with boy names. If we have a boy he might not have a name until he's in college.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Just plugging along, trying to keep my head from exploding I miss you guys and I'm constantly lurking!

kmalls · August 2017

Hellooooo! It's so exciting to post here!

*How long were you active on TTGP and when? I was active for about 5 months, from February to July.

*How far along are you? 5w3d according to LMP.

*Which birth month board/due date? Flitting between March and April, as I'm due April 1 but will have a repeat c-section in late March.

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Finding out ASAP. I have the oldz so I'll get a Panorama test at 10 weeks.

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We have a rock solid girl name, still waffling on a boy name. I'll share them once I'm confident this pregnancy will stick.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? PGAL anxiety is a bitch, but I'm grateful to be pregnant today. Also, I miss you guys!

vflux33 · August 2017

Thanks for the tag! Also ahhhh OMG my first grad check-in!

*How long were you active on TTGP and when? I started lurking in June 2016, posted from September until November, took a 5 month bump break, and then came back March - July 2017 when I started IF testing/treatment.

*How far along are you? 8 weeks

*Which birth month board/due date? March 2018/ EDD March 14 (but will probably happen earlier)

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? finding out

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We already have 2 names for each sex picked out, but we're keeping them to ourselves for now since it's still very early days and scared of "jinx".

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? We found out a week ago at the first u/s that we're having twins! We're very excited. I lurk TTGP daily and all the other grads the last few weeks have made me so happy. I can't wait to see more! GL to all you guys!

ETA forgot EDD

MJDsquared · August 2017

*How long were you active on TTGP and when? Jan '17-April '17

*How far along are you? 18+4

*Which birth month board/due date? D17 / 12/30

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Found out yesterday that we are team pink!!

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We decided we won't pick until we see her so we can make sure it fits, but our current top two contenders are Lennon and Elodie. We're both pretty sure Lennon will win though.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I think now that we know the sex it feels much more real. It was just so surreal and hard to comprehend that I'm actually pregnant! Also, I'm so so so happy about all the recent grads over here! FX hard for many more!

ChefRamsay · August 2017

*How long were you active on TTGP and when? Sep16-Jan 17 (if I remember correctly)

*How far along are you? 33 weeks

*Which birth month board/due date? Due Sep 22nd, but I'll be induced early

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Pink

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. This baby has no name. I'm starting to panic about it since we're running out of time

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I'm definitely ready to meet my little girl! 6 weeks can't come soon enough. Plus, I've been having lots of extra appointments and ultrasounds because of my hypertension and her 2 vessel cord. It will be nice once she's here and I finally have a break from all these doctor appointments.

[Deleted User] · August 2017

Holy cow @ChefRamsay I can't believe you're already 33 weeks!! Congrats

And if any TTCIFers are reading this *hugs* and I hope you are protecting your heart. I used to sometimes read this thread and regret it. So make sure you're being kind to yourself.

I can't believe I'm actually filling out this thread myself...

*How long were you active on TTGP and when? Feb '15-July'17

*How far along are you? 5+6

*Which birth month board/due date? March 29th! It's been great being on there with so many TTGPers.

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Pink!

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. Her name is Elise. Middle name will be Chinese so more complicated and we haven't figured it out yet.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I go in for my first ultrasound today so I'm very nervous. Please send me good vibes!

bethennyfrankel · August 2017

How am I doing my second one of these already?!

*How long were you active on TTGP and when? Dec. 16 - June 17 (7 months)

*How far along are you? 9+3

*Which birth month board/due date? March 4, 2018

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Finding out!

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. Bah. We can think of girl names no problem, but boy names are much harder for us. DH doesn't want anything "boring" or anything "super unqiue" which really abstractly narrows things down. It doesn't help that boys run rampant on DH's side (FIL had 3 brothers, DH is one of 7 cousins with only 1 girl). I have a feeling our future is a boy whose name we pull out of the air last minute.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? We had our first u/s a bit ago to see peanut and hear the heartbeat. It definitely helped my PAIF brain, but I still have my moments. I'm just eager to be further along. So excited to see all the grads coming out of TTGP lately. Can't wait to see more weeks like last moving forward

daisy62103 · August 2017

*How long were you active on TTGP and when? Lurked for months, then active daily April -Sept '16, then sporadically on the IF thread through December.

*How far along are you? 36 weeks on Saturday! This will be my last check-in with inside babies! Eeek!

* Which birth month board/due date? Sept 2, but they'll be here sometime before Aug 19

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? pink x 2

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We are settled on baby a's name, but I'm wavering on b's. We'll wait to meet her to decide which of the two names we have fit her best.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I'm having weekly NSTs and everytime we go the babies are super active. We had to go past the 20 mins today b/c they kept going off the chart and the nurse needed them to just calm down for a little. Ha. But they look perfect and awesome and things couldn't be going better, so now we just wait. So excited (and anxious too!) about their impending arrival!

crazypuglady · August 2017

@ChefRamsay- You could name her Arya....

I kid I kid

*How long were you active on TTGP and when? Nov 2016- Feb 2017

*How far along are you? 29 weeks today!

*Which birth month board/due date? Oct 18th... but not really hanging out on my BMB too much anymore.

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Pink

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. Most likely Gianna Marianne. We don't want to make it final until she's here.. It's getting harder not to tell people IRL though.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Our baby showers are this month! Along with most of our parenting classes we booked. And just made a meet & greet appointment with a pediatric office....S*it's getting real! I'm torn between "ugh, we still have 2.5 months left" to "Ahhh! We only have 2.5 months left!"

Love lurking all your recent BFPs! Keep em' coming ladies!

ChefRamsay · August 2017

@crazypuglady should I admit I don't get the reference?

crazypuglady · August 2017

@ChefRamsay lol Sorry! thought you might watch the show.. It's a Game of Thrones character.. She's a bad ass chick who was training to be an assassin by learning to be "invisible"- a girl with no name.

ChefRamsay · August 2017

@crazypuglady I thought that might be where the reference was from. I haven't actually watched the show before though.

realgoodthing · August 2017

This will be my last check in, but I'll be lurking and rooting for you all forever!!!

*How long were you active on TTGP and when? Lurked for a few months, active August-October 2016

*How far along are you? 3+5 postpartum!!

*Which birth month board/due date? July, but I ghosted

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Blue

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We went with Leon, after my late grandfather

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? After a fairly insane birth (36 hours of failed induction, a power outage at the hospital and an emergency C-section), Leon arrived beautiful and healthy on 7/7/17. He is strong and snuggly and DH and I are ridiculously in love with him. Between last summer's MMC and a difficult pregnancy, it was quite a journey to get here, but he's worth everything and then some.

That's it for me! I'll likely be back in a year and a half, when I hope exactly none of you are still here (unless you're also TFAS).

littlebug2010 · August 2017

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I cant believe this will be my last inside baby check in! DHs family is completely convinced that 8/8 will be his birthday, due to a weird family birthday coincidence.

klstone25 · August 2017

This will be my last check in, but I'll still be back to lurk and to cheer all you TTGP ladies on!

We have our anatomy scan next week and I can't wait to see this little one again. Other than that things are good. I stalk this board regularly and am supporting my IF ladies like crazy.

@daisy62103 how the heck are you 36 weeks already!! congrats on making so far with your girls!!! GL with your delivery (are you trying for a vaginal or planned C-section?)

VLillyV · August 2017

Thank you very much for the tag. I'm popping in to say hello!

*How long were you active on TTGP and when? January 2017 thru February 17 (I promise I was not a one strike luck girl, 4/5 cycles ttgp total)

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. Name is officially picked but DH has sworn me to secrecy! That man!

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

My pregnancy has been what I consider lucky (for lack of a better term). I was very lucky to skip morning sickness and other uncomfortable symptoms and scary issues. Unfortunately, my blood pressure has always been a bit of a problem and very recently now a cause for concern. I am being checked for underlying issues and waiting lab results. Baby is moving and growing appropriately. Please keep me in mind, I hope I don't have anything scary going on.

tripledaggerWed95976 · August 2017

*How long were you active on TTGP and when?

June-nov 17

*How far along are you?

5 days postpartum!!! Miss Lyla came into the world very early Friday morning after my water broke at home the night before.

She was 8.1lb and 19.5 inches long. She got stuck on the way out which sadly resulted in her fracturing her collarbone and me having an episiotomy and 4th degree tear, BUT we are both doing really great considering! She is such a sweetheart, and my son absolutely loves having a baby sister. I'm completely obsessed with her and can't stop staring at her and kissing her chubby cheeks.

*Which birth month board/due date?

My edd was August 3rd Lyla was born at 12:37am July 28th

*Team Pink/Blue/Green?

Pink

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

Lyla Ryder

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

Still lurking all the time and cheering all of you wonderful ladies on! Seems like there has been so many long timers and IFers that have gotten their BFPs lately and that makes me SOOO happy!!! Love you ladies

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We have a couple that we love right now; Penelope Hazel and Abigail Olivia are our top contenders

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Just getting over the shock of expecting twin girls. Knowing for sure what they are feels like a really big step towards them actually being here, and it's crazy. I've been loving all of the recent grads lately, especially the IF ladies. I've been following your journeys for some time now, and I can't believe how much strength you guys have. I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the last month of summer! Xoxo

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I get my first ultrasound next week. Hoping all goes well.

daisy62103 · August 2017

@wabash15 I know, right!? This pregnancy has completely flown by. I remember when you got your bfp (feels like last week to me) and now you're 19wks! I'm planning a vaginal delivery as baby A is head down (B was transverse 4 wks ago and think she still is-we'll find out Fri), and my OB said it was totally doable. Yay! Hope your pg is going wonderfully!

@tripledaggerWed95976 Congrats on your baby girl! I've been wondering about you, wanting to hear an update. Your delivery sounded rough, but hopefully you both are healing well. Enjoy those especially sweet first few weeks with Lyla!

tripledaggerWed95976 · August 2017

Thank you @daisy62103!!
And omg how did I not realize that you are this far along!!! How exciting!!!! I can't wait to see these little girls, I'm so excited for u!!

dragonfly87-2 · August 2017

My tags no longer work because the bump keeps changing me back to having a -2, but thanks for trying @avrilmai!

*How long were you active on TTGP and when? October 2016-March 2017

*How far along are you? 24 weeks

*Which birth month board/due date? November 23, 2017

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Pink!

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

I think we have finally landed on Zoey Marie. DH really likes it and while I am partial to Riley, I like Zoey as well.

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

Finally feeling kicks regularly and it has lessened anxiety. 4 more weeks until the next ultrasound and will hopefully get good news that the choroid plexus cyst has resolved on its own.

So happy to see so many TTGP regulars get their BFPs in the past month!! @lund @mispanda @heatherdubrow @Everycol0r @vflux33 @antoto @haylsbayls @kiki75 looking forward to your monthly updates!

BigBadWolf12 · August 2017

*How far along are you? 33 weeks today

*Which birth month board/due date? Sept 21, though I've been mostly lurking on the bmb and not participating so much anymore...

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Blue!

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We've had his name picked since last summer and a girl name picked before then, so we just had to wait and see what one we'd get to use.....not sharing publicly though.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? my iron levels are up so the iron pills are working and physically I'm doing really well. Not really any symptoms except trouble sleeping, but now that I'm home and not travelling like I have been for the last 7 weeks, it's been better...I can sleep in my own bed with my U-shaped pillow and just flip flop sides every time I go to the washroom. From weeks 25-32 I had to prop myself up with many pillows and sleep sitting up from 4am onward most nights, but I haven't had to do that since getting home this week emotionally I yoyo sometimes (pgal is no joke and doesn't end at the 14 week mark...) My midwife made me a doctor's appointment next week to check on a few things and I'm HOPING the doc will give me an ultrasound...I haven't seen him since 18+3 at the anatomy scan and otherwise won't see him until birth. Trying not to get my hopes up though!

mokay19 · August 2017

*How long were you active on TTGP and when? All of 2016

*How far along are you? 5 days postpartum

*Which birth month board/due date? A17, EDD was 8/14

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Team PINK!

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We had gone into the delivery with one of each name since we were team green. Since she's here, her name is Stella Marie

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? My labor was a whirlwind. I was 3-4cm and 90% effaced at my check up at 37+5. She stripped my membranes at the office and Saturday I had 10 minute interval contractions all day long. Went to bed that night and woke up at 2:40am to my water breaking and contractions 5 minutes apart. We got to the hospital at 3:30am and Stella arrived at 5:06am on 7/30. I didn't even have time to get the epidural that I had requested! She was 7lbs 3oz and 19.5 inches long. Breastfeeding has been a challenge here at the beginning because I wasn't producing and she ended up in the NICU for low blood sugar. But we are at home now and my milk is flowing somewhat!

I seriously have never been so in love!

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? We will find out on August 16! I have been so convinced it is a boy for most of this pregnancy but lately I'm not so sure. Can't wait to find out!

*How are you doing picking out a name? We have a list for both but won't decide for quite awhile.

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

Just can't believe how fast the time is flying! Just starting to feel very subtle flutters that I hear is the beginning of baby kicking! Can't wait to be able to feel it full on and for DH to feel it.

I'd also like to say that although I haven't been lurking as much as I'd like anymore, I am thrilled to see all the recent grads listed on this thread! So many deserving women! Congrats to all of you and a very happy and healthy rest of your pregnancy!

*How long were you active on TTGP and when? Oh a whileeeeee

*How far along are you? 18+0

*Which birth month board/due date? EDD 1/6/18

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Team finding out in TWO WEEKS!

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We have a name picked out for each gender. If it's a boy we're going with Rocco Alfred (family names on H's side) and if it's a girl we're going with Adria Christine, Christine being my middle name, and subsequently the only name we could agree on. I had to fight for Adria lol.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? So much to do, so little time! Since we were IF, and then this baby came as a freak of nature (I kid, but really) we were totally unprepared. We spent so much time trying, and I spent so much time researching IF stuff, that when it actually came to being KU I realized I had done ZERO research. So I'm continuously playing catch up.

*How long were you active on TTGP and when? March - June 2017

*How far along are you? 11 + 6

*Which birth month board/due date? A very calm, apparently religious, Feb BMB. Edd 2/20

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Find out in 2 weeks!

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We have names for boy or girl, just waiting to find out which name will be used this time around.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? So excited to be finishing up the first trimester, Feb still seems so far off, but so much to do before then. Hope my energy comes back soon so I can start being productive on my to-do list.

I love how many new check-ins we have this month! Hopefully many more over the next two months! It is weird sometimes to think some of our babies will only be weeks/months apart in age (starting school together, graduating same year, etc), when it seems like on the TTGP side weeks and months are forever long.

Good Morning Ladies!

*How far along are you? 17 wks

*Which birth month board/due date? Jan '18 - EDD Jan. 15

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Team BLUE! We decided to do an elective u/s and had our reveal yesterday. DH's brother will be deploying next month and we wanted to do a reveal at a time when everyone could be together. Everything worked out perfectly!

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. Not yet, but now that we know where to focus our attention, let the lobbying begin!

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Now that we know the gender, it really feels real and it has brought a whole new level of excitement. I feel like time will speed up from here on out!

The last couple grad weeks have been so fun to see! I hope that amazing pace keeps up through the end of the summer. Always lurking and rooting for you all

Whoa first check-in!

*How long were you active on TTGP and when? Apparently, June 2016 - July 2017 but I thought it was longer!

*How far along are you? 6 +3

*Which birth month board/due date? 3/31 April BMB because I felt so behind to join March.

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? We are undecided. I always thought green but we have been debating it lately.

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. I have a long list of girl names but if it is a boy he will be the 5th. The name is super traditional so we are talking about nicknames.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? After a spotting scare, I had my first u/s and things looked good! Spotting is a real mind f*ck. Really hoping to see some more grads this month!!

*How long were you active on TTGP and when? August 2016-December 2016

*How far along are you? 4 days postpartum

*Which birth month board/due date? August 2017. Born Aug 3, 2017

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

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. After not discussing names forever, we finally decided on Cade for a boy. We think it fits him perfectly.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I was a VBAC hopeful who ended up with a RCS. My recovery is going well so far although I do miss not having the vaginal delivery experience. It truly doesn't matter how your baby comes into the world, every delivery is beautiful.

I'm so happy to see so many screennams on here that I recognize and wish you all the best on your journey, no matter what stage you're at.
