ChloandCoco · September 2018

*How long were you active on TTGP and when? 11 months - from June 2017 to May 2018 - primarily in the TTCAL thread

*How far along are you? 18w3d

*Which birth month board/due date? February 2019 - EDD Feb 5

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Team finding out next week

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We’ve discussed names, but nothing serious, I still have moments of doubt that this will be a successful pregnancy, so that’s making it difficult to get excited or start planning things. I’m sure we will get more serious once we find out the sex.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I’m still reading the weekly TTCAL thread and miss you all dearly. You are some of the strongest people I know.

jsnakehole · September 2018

This is my last check in!

How long were you active on TTGP and when? January 2017-December 2017

How far along are you? 4 weeks PP today

Which birth month board/due date? August 2018- due date was 8/24 but baby was born 8/10

Team pink/blue/green? Team blue!

How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. His name is Joshua Lior

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

Josh was born by emergency c-section on August 10th. I had been sent to L&D on the 8th because I was in early labor but didn't progress so they sent me home. My water broke on its own the following night and I got to the hospital already at 5, but when they went to check me he grabbed the doctor's finger- he was coming out with his entire arm looped over his head. They couldn't reposition him so they rushed me in for a c-section and he as born 1:31 AM the morning of the 10th. Recovery has been a bitch (especially PPD/PPA), and DH started a new job that has him working crazy hours so I've been mostly on my own. I'm powering through the best I can and taking it one day at a time.

I still pop in here every once in a while and the best thing is I recognize so few names now! I'm so happy to see that many of the regulars from my time have graduated out. Still keeping my fingers crossed for everyone and I'm sure I'll still be checking in when I can

galactickates · September 2018

*How long were you active on TTGP and when? From August 17 to April 18

*How far along are you? 23 weeks tomorrow

*Which birth month board/due date? Jan19 with EDD January 5th

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Blue

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

Vincent Roman, we've been calling him Vinny.

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

First off Hi friends!!! I can't wait to see everyone's updates and I'm always lurking TTC. I miss everyone so much! So many Sept babies!!! I can't wait to read all of the announcements.

AFM Vinny is doing great. He had a perfect score on his anatomy scan. I'm starting to feel him bop around a little. We have his nursery painted in an awesome woodland theme, but I can't wait to hold this baby in my arms. We're leaving for our babymoon tomorrow! Which is crazy to say...

I really do miss you guys all the time and look for grad announcements. I'm also happy I'm recognizing fewer names, but still following everyone's journeys and wishing take home babies for everyone.

darkstar42 · September 2018

*How long were you active on TTGP and when? June 2017 to June 2018

*How far along are you? 17w2d

*Which birth month board/due date? February bmb (though I’m mostly lurking), EDD is 2/13

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? We’re having a boy!

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. Still working on a short list. Boy names are a lot harder for us to come up with than girl names!

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Through the first tri and feeling great! All tests have looked good so far and his growth and heart rate are right on track. I just can’t wait to feel movement! I’m back a work starting a new semester and definitely starting to show. It won’t be long til my students notice! I still lurk the IF thread daily, and I’m rooting so hard for all of you. I miss this community!

offtoneverland · September 2018

*How long were you active on TTGP and when? August 2017 to February 2018

*How far along are you? 32 weeks today!

*Which birth month board/due date? EDD: November 2nd; November BMB

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Pink!

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. Still not 100% sure. Probably Natalie, but I'm having trouble making a decision and keep changing my mind.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I miss you guys! I still lurk constantly and I have my fingers crossed for all of you. To my TTCAL friends, you guys are some of the strongest people in the world. I hate that more people keep joining the thread, but seeing your endless support for each other no matter what you're going through at the time restores my faith in humanity. I'm hoping and praying that good things are in store for each and every one of you.

AFM: We've pretty much got everything ready to go, so we're just counting down the last several weeks. It's really flown by and I can't believe I'm nearing the end already. Hope you all have an awesome weekend!

*How long were you active on TTGP and when? Dec 15 - Dec 17*How far along are you? 39+5*Which birth month board/due date? S18 / 9.9*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Green(-ish) We know, but our family will still get to be surprised. A few other people know, like my chiro, medical team, and the doula, (who we're not sure will actually be available, so....), but that's about it.*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We're sticking with family names. ;)*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? We are starting to dilate and 50% effaced! So the doctor seemed excited for us that at least we won't go in and be sent home bc nothing's happening. I have the names of the docs and mws on call this weekend through Tuesday, but I'm not so sure baby will be right on time. They will start talking meds if I get to 41 weeks though, so I'm really hoping to avoid that.I finally started my leave! Which is wonderful. It was time. I needed to be home. Still plenty of nesting to keep me busy, but I'm hoping also to partake in the luxury of a few good naps, too, before it's go-time...

KariAnn323 · September 2018

*How long were you active on TTGP and when? September 2016 - January 2018 with some breaks

*How far along are you? 21+5

*Which birth month board/due date? January 2019 but mostly lurk, EDD is 1/13

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Pink!

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. Still sticking with Joan Frances

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Definitely feeling a lot of movement and some movement from the outside. DH has felt her move twice which has been nice. A/S went well and was uneventful. I was out of town for Labor Day weekend visiting a friend and DH and surprised me and painted the nursery (we had already picked the color together). I miss TTGP so much. BMB is just not the same. I constantly lurk the IF thread and I hope you all graduate very soon.

shortstack930 · September 2018

*How long were you active on TTGP and when? 13 months, January 2017 to February 2018

*How far along are you? 32 weeks + 4 days

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

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Green

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We've had our boy name picked since the beginning but are still stuck between two girl names.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Baby is head down and I've been cleared to try for a VBAC so I'm just getting really excited/anxious for next month. I still lurk here daily and I'm rooting so hard for my IF girls!

Augusta108 · September 2018

How long were you active on TTGP and when? March 2017-May 2018

*How far along are you? 21+3

*Which birth month board/due date? January 2019 / January 15th

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Team Green and staying strong!

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share? Right now our finalists are Beatrice Joanna and Felix Ian. Beatrice and Felix both have meanings related to happiness or good fortune, and the middle names are to honor my father, John, who unexpectedly passed away the morning of our IVF baseline appointment. Both names feel very appropriate for our one fighter embryo who was created during a time of such intense personal sadness for me.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? We had our anatomy scan and the baby looks good! He or she was very active and we got a very cute picture of the baby sucking their thumb.

I too continue to check in here as a lurker on a daily basis and am so impatient for the day when I won’t recognize any names. Still rooting so hard for all of you!

50Wife · September 2018

Hi ladies!

*How long were you active on TTGP and when? A little over 1.5 years

*How far along are you? 9w2d

*Which birth month board/due date? April- EDD 4/11

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Blue

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. Haven’t even gone there yet. We want to attempt to find something with meaning behind it since we consider this guy our little embryo that could. So hoping we like a name with a strength/fighter type meaning.

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

We just shared with our family that it’s a boy. We’ve managed to keep that to ourselves since we found out back in Feb.

I’m rooting so hard for all of my IF ladies!!! I miss you guys and I hope to see tons of you graduating soon

meggyme · September 2018

*How long were you active on TTGP and when? Jan-July 2018

*How far along are you? 12 weeks

*Which birth month board/due date? March 20th

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? We just got our NIPT results and found out we are having a healthy girl!

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We are leaning hard toward Lucille. It would take quite a bit to change my mind but idk if DH is 100% sold.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? We made all our announcements recently. Family, friends, facebook, work... it’s all out there now.

kiwi2628 · September 2018

*How long were you active on TTGP and when? August 2016 to Jan 2018

*How far along are you? 36 weeks!

*Which birth month board/due date? October

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Blue

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

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I have just 4 weeks to go and I am so ready for this to be over. Its real uncomfortable at the end and I just want to meet the little dude. Still lurking a lot and giving love to my IF crew

auburnvelvet86 · September 2018

*How long were you active on TTGP and when? Spring 2018

*How far along are you? 11w5d

*Which birth month board/due date? March bmb (though I've been lazy and lurking a lot recently), March 27

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? so far we're planning on green, but we also haven't been tempted yet at the 20 week anatomy scan, so we'll see if we can hold out through that!

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We have a few ideas for girls, Lillian Hazel and Anna (pronounced ah-nah) Mary, both after relatives on both sides. But we're struggling quite a bit with boys' names. I've always liked William, but there isn't really any family connection there. Who knows, that may not matter in the end if we can't agree on many others!

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Getting near the end of the first trimester, and I'm excited for the second! Can't wait to feel movement and get to the 20 week scan. I lurk here often to check in on all of you amazing ladies and I love reading the grad thread! My thoughts are with you all!

lurvleybunchococonuts · September 2018

*How long were you active on TTGP and when? May 2017 through March 2018 (started TTC January 2017)

*How far along are you? 30+1

*Which birth month board/due date? November 2018 / 11.18.2018

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? PINK!

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. Still set on Talulla Jean with the nickname of Lulu or Lula. I refer to her as Lulu so I'm thinking that will likely stick

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Overall things are going well. After failing the 1hr glucose test we passed the 3hr this past Friday. I can't believe it's already 3rd Trimester and I'm slowly starting to freak out about all we have left to do/get. We are SUPER excited for LO to get here, but knowing we only have 10(ish) weeks left is intimidating. I LOVE all the baby wiggles and kicks, they are hands down the absolute best.

I still lurk TTGP often and my heart aches for how many IF &/or TTCAL warriors I still recognize. I'm always cheering you all on and hoping/praying for the day I no longer see any names I "know" posting in TTGP.

catlady2015 · September 2018

Hello everyone!!

*How long were you active on TTGP and when? November 2017-July 2018

(TW - short break due to loss in May 2018 - end TW)

*How far along are you? 11+5

*Which birth month board/due date? March, 3/27!

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

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. DH and I cut a deal, he'll name the LO if it's a boy, and I will if it's a girl. However, I think it's a boy and he thinks girl. DH has a boy contender fairly set, but I'm still waffling on girls ideas. Not sure if we'll be sharing a final name until the birth.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I can't believe I'm almost to 12 weeks, but mostly I'm just relieved that things seem to be going well. I lurk TTGP and TTCAL all the time and keep hoping I'll see grad posts from all my TTCAL ladies and long time TTGPers! Big hugs to all of you, and I'm rooting for you all to get your take home babies!

zwink1 · September 2018

How long were you active on TTGP and when? Sept 2016-Jan 2018, with some long term lurking prior.

How far along are you? 36w4d

Which birth month board/due date? October - 10/5

Team Pink/Blue/Green? Green

How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We *think* we've got them down, but won't be 100% sure until we see this LO in person!

Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Nothing exciting, we're just trying to get the last few things done over the next couple of weeks to prep for baby's arrival. Sticking strong with team green was almost too successful in paring down the number of clothes we got at showers, so I get to do some shopping to fill in the holes and get the last few things from our registry that we still need.

Still regularly lurking, missing, and sending all of my love to the IF ladies.
