*How long were you active on TTGP and when? October 2015-November 2016--then mostly on the IF Board, but still would post here throughout that time.
*How far along are you? 35w4d with Di/Di Twin Boys
*Which birth month board/due date? December 2017--Due date is December 8th, but c-section scheduled at 37 weeks on November 17th.
*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Blue x 2!
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. Baby A is Paxton Fitzgerald and Baby B is Keegan Paul. Both names have a special meaning to my husband and I and the middle names are family names.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I've been in the hospital since 33 weeks (October 20th) and will remain here until after I deliver (November 17th if we make it that far). Prior to that I was at home on bed rest starting at 22 weeks. We've had a lot of complications, and if something is more common in women carrying multiples, I have it! I wouldn't change my experience for a million dollars because it will all be worth it when our sweet babies are born. Cheering for all my IF ladies, and praying you get your BFP so so soon!

*How far along are you? 15+4
*Which birth month board/due date? April 18
*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Pink!
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. No name talk yet. Maybe after the a/s.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Our NIPT came back normal (yay!) and I've been feeling definite movement for about a week, so that's been exciting. We still have only told our parents and I'm loving the privacy. They are pressuring us to spill the beans, so we'll probably tell everyone else at thanksgiving.
I still really miss participating here, as well as the community feel of TTGP. I'm lurking daily and silently cheering for all of you amazing ladies to get your BFPs asap.
*How long were you active on TTGP and when? ummm most of a year with probably a good 6 months of lurking before that. June 2016-april17
*How far along are you? 33+1
*Which birth month board/due date? December, Christmas
*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Team green
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. I think we have picked though its still early enough in the game that the names might change. For now it is Ruth for a girl and Eli for a boy
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Just chugging along. Its amazing how fast the time goes. @beary67 girl you know I'm rooting like hell for you and those babies, you have been such a warrior dealing with everything and keeping those boys baking. I am so excited for that moment when you get to hold them.
I am also stalking and rooting so hard for my IF ladies. If you ever need anything I am just a PM away.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I get my anatomy scan today!!!!! I'm so excited to see her - I haven't had an ultrasound for 11 weeks so the last time I saw her she was just a little gummy bear. Ovia told me this morning that her lips are developed and it just made me shocked at how developed she will be when I see her today! I'm also a little anxious, of course. I hope everything is okay. She's kicking like a maniac so I'm taking that as a good sign.
Always stalking you ladies. SO many new treatments coming up that I'm crossing my fingers super hard for. Love ya'll hard.

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Team TBD, we are still trying to decide what we want to do.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Since it is still so early we haven't told anyone yet, we will be soon. My PCP's office requires a urine sample to confirm, which I am going to take to them tomorrow. I was going to wait until Friday, but changed my mind. So after that I'll have my first appointment scheduled. So next month I'll have more updates!

Love seeing the graduations on TTGP! Also, thanks for keeping it real on the BMBs when people get speshul and need some science lessons. Your making TB a better place for all of us even if admins don't always agree.

I want to use my mom's maiden name for the middle name, but I won't post it here because, ya know, stranger danger.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? No questions or concerns. I am really happy to see all the grads recently and lurk here often. I miss the sense of community over here.

I'm feeling a little more peaceful lately and trying to live each day as it comes and be grateful that I'm pregnant today. I know so much of this is out of my control and that's so hard for me, but all I can do is everything I can control, like take care of myself. I'm trying to be really intentional to do that, emotionally and mentally. We saw the heartbeat at 6 weeks and that made me much more at ease.

Just anxiously anticipating when she will arrive. Of course, we want her to be full term and as healthy as possible, but late stage pregnancy has it's interesting aches, pains and challenges. Also, found out I tested group b strep positive about a week ago. I wanted to try to a probiotics regime and a few others think my midwife friend recommended, but my OB doesn't want to do a re-test and is sticking with the recommendation to administer antibiotics during labor. It's not the end of the world, but bummed that 1) I will have to be hooked up to an IV for parts of labor, 2) it will also kill the good bacteria that our DD could be exposed to during birth and 3) my OB recommended going to the hospital as soon as my water breaks rather than staying at home to labor longer like I had hoped. But, moving forward and getting over it.
Been lurking the TTGP board and sending positive vibes for many BFPs to come soon!

This trimester has sucked, but I know it will be worth it. My platelets rose slightly last week and I have to get them tested again this week to see if I can get an epidural in delivery (not that I'm sure I want one, but I'd like the option). I am just praying that I don't hemmorage and that I can feel my rainbow baby with my hands when he's born.
I miss so many of you and check-in often even if you don't see me! TTGP is a special place with special ladies and I am hoping you get your miracles soon.

)
Wishing all of you all the best in your TTC journeys and beyond. You are an amazing group of women and I hope you all get your well deserved BFPs soon!

Really really grateful that things came back normal.
I know how much holidays can suck when you are TTC... know I am thinking about you all this holiday season and wishing you lots of wine and snarky comebacks for annoying relatives
