@izza2 & @silvergreen it looks like you two may be the ones updating the spreadsheet? Just wanted to say thank you, that was an enormous undertaking! Much appreciated
@hailedarling009 - Did you do PGS testing to know that you are Team Pink? An u/s wouldn't show genitalia at this point, so you wouldn't know the sex of the baby that way. For now, I'm leaving you Team Yellow.
I also wanted to shout out to @izza2 &@silvergreen for updating the spreadsheet. I started it, and then around the time that everyone joined I got a little busy at work AND the ms kicked in at the same time- but every time I opened this link everything was updated. Thank you both and anyone else that helped out keeping our spreadsheet up to date and clean!
I will be leaving the group. Found out today our bean stopped growing at 6 weeks 2 days. Good luck to all the other moms on a happy and healthy 9 months.
I think we should start a spreadsheet to honor the mamas who've lost their little beans in our BMB. I can do it later when I'm on my desktop if no one else wants to.
@TravelingCouple I think there is a section they can add themselves to if they want to. As discussed previously, a number of loss moms have said they really wouldn’t want a separate spreadsheet or to even be on the original one at all. When I had my loss I certainly didn’t.
@doxiemoxie212 Ok, noted. I brought it up because I was browsing the sheet and am seeing a lot of mamas who've experienced loss still on there. But maybe they've expressed wanting to stay on there. Either way I would want them to be honored in the way they feel comfortable.
@emilydski6 We have a few things in common! I'm Emily, living in the Chicago area, and I'm a FTM with my rainbow baby (MC also in July). Wishing you a wonderful pregnancy!
Team Blue / Pink / Green / Finding Out - finding out
Delivery Date and Sex prediction - hoping we stay with the 26th and a boy
FTM or other Children - FTM
Anything else you'd like to add - I had added myself to the google sheet when I got my BFP but thought I would add myself so anyone referencing mobile would see.
@TravelingCouple - I haven't gone through the spreadsheet lately, but just went through to update with recent ultrasound shares and the add requests -- but who are you seeing who's experienced a loss but is still there? I haven't gone through the whole list, but I'm not seeing anyone who sticks out to me. [ETA: Nvm, I found a few who have since left us.]
Also, at what point do we start to think about deleting people who logged on once to be added to the spreadsheet, and never logged in again? I get that people are busy and have lives, but I'm just searching the names of people I don't recognize (and there are a lot on the spreadsheet!), and there are quite a few people who were on for one day and requested to be added to the spreadsheet, and didn't log on after that... and this was a month ago, or more...
@izza2 once again, thank you for working so hard on this spreadsheet. I feel like some people might still be hesitant to join in on conversations for fear of loss (jinxing the pregnancy). Let's give people until the 20 week mark before we clean house. Obviously just a suggestion, but I feel like the half way mark would be a good indication of who is part of the board.
@jsl82 - I mean, I get that. Totally. But I'm not talking about people who get online and still kind of lurk and love tit or whatever. I'm just talking about the people who were online one day and never came back. And it's been 4+ weeks. Obviously I may be in the minority because I've been on TB for years and love to make the connections I do and make the friends I've made -- but I feel like if their pregnancies have progressed and they wanted to be a part of the community they would have at least logged on in the past 4-5 weeks...
@izza2 I get what you are saying. I don't really look through the list that much either- I more or less filter for the name I'm looking for (and typically you have already added them). If it bothers you, and they aren't logging on, than go ahead and delete them. I just wouldn't want to make someone that is hesitant to join in on weekly threads to feel like we kicked them out.
I personally agree with deleting inactive usernames from the spreadsheet. I don't really mind if it gets done now, since as @dinodna3 said they can always have their info added again later. If people would rather wait though then I think when we are all out of first tri would be a good time to clean up.
Team Blue / Pink / Green / Finding Out- Finding out in a few weeks!
Delivery Date and Sex prediction- Not sure
FTM or other Children- Son will be 2 in late January
Anything else you'd like to add- I have such fond memories of the January 2016 board when I was pregnant with my son, and look forward to the journey with you ladies!
So can whomever decided to change the spreadsheet permissions to everyone needing to request permission to view/change the spreadsheet -- please change it back? @jsl82 - I'm assuming it was you, because you created it in the first place?
I'm not handing out my emails to view the spreadsheet and edit it, and no one else should need to either.
@PCS924 - Someone (usually the person who starts the spreadsheet because they "own" it @jsl82) changed the "rights" to the spreadsheet so that you have to request access to even view the spreadsheet. Which, as I said in a previous post, I am not doing, and no one else should need to do either.
If it goes another few days without a response from @jsl82, I can start a new spreadsheet so that we have one available again for people to add their info and use for reference. I know not everyone uses it, but a portion of us use it for referencing things.
Singleton / Twins / Multiples- TWINS (I still don’t think that has sunk in.)
Team Blue / Pink / Green / Finding Out- Finding out.
Delivery Date and Sex prediction- delivery date will be by May 29 latest (38w)
FTM or other Children- 2 year old son
Anything else you'd like to add- I have PCOS and have dealt with infertility. This pregnancy was a result of a Femara cycle + timed intercourse. We had two early losses this year but are now 11w5d in and feeling more confident and excited!
Due Date- July 10th (will be induced the last week of June)
Username- mama2littlehoot
First Name- Renee
Age -25

Singleton / Twins / Multiples- Singleton
Finding Out
Delivery Date and Sex prediction- I’m really feeling girl
FTM or other Children- 2 year old son
Anything else you'd like to add- I have PCOS and am still nursing my toddler. It took us 5 years and multiple fertility treatments for our first and this one is a complete surprise. Because of my chronic hypertension I will be induced the last week of June.
@stephcat421 - We're just lucky I have no life outside of work and school, lmao.
I tried to go through and update everyone's teams for those that know gender already, and those who know whether they're having one or two... There are still quite a few people (mostly people who aren't actually active) who don't have whether they're having a singleton or twins or whatever on there. For those who have had u/s's and know (and that should be most of us by now), can you either update it to reflect that, or post here so it can be updated for you? It just seems weird that like half of the spreadsheet is still TBD for the number of LO's they're carrying...
