May 19 (technically due June 1st but... twins are known to be early arrivals).
*Team Pink/Blue/Green?
Purple! Boy/girl twins
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it.
Pretty settled on Elliot for a boy. My wife is waffling hardcore about the girl name. I am happy with a number of names, just kind of waiting for her to figure out what she wants to name her.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share?
Anatomy scan today!!!! I'll come back and edit if we find out our boy/girl is in fact girl/girl (our ultrasound tech at the 16 week scan *thinks* it's boy/girl but she wasn't 100% sure if the protrusion between baby B's legs was a tiny ball sack or a scrunched umbilical cord). Baby A's sex was clearer though (girl).
ETA: There's a ball sack so it's a boy! The ultrasound was amazing I was able to see the girl's face clearly when she tilted sideways and her features look so much like my firstborn son's I almost cried.

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. Joan Frances
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Well my nice and simple pregnancy took a turn in December. My blood pressure started to increase, and I ended up having preterm contractions on December 12th. My OB placed me on bed rest for the remainder of the pregnancy. We scheduled my induction for December 23rd (37 weeks). After 42 hours I had only gotten to 6cm and my cervix was starting to swell so if we continued I would just go backwards. Joan Frances was born December 25th at 3:22pm via c-section, 8 lbs 5 oz and 20.75 inches.
I wish I was better with words and could say just how much TTGP has meant to me. I really don't know how I would have gotten here without all of the support I received. Whenever I find out one of my friends is trying I point them to here. I stalk the IF thread often and always have my fingers crossed for you ladies. I'm just so thankful.

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. I have a list I’ve been working on since we started TTC but H and I haven’t discussed any yet. Will wait until we find out the sex.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? We had an early US last week due to bleeding and got to see a heartbeat. Going back this Thursday to hopefully measure the heartbeat and then again next week for my first OB appt. Definitely going to be spoiled with the weekly scans until I’m 8 weeks!
I am lurking here every day and rooting for all of you to get your take home babies ❤️ Thank you all so much for the support and friendship, and for helping to take my mind off TTC when I needed it most. Miss you all!

So far this pregnancy has been uneventful, which is wonderful. I'm having a hard time believing that we're only about six weeks away from meeting our little one! I don't feel ready, but I don't suppose anyone ever really does.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? We had an u/s at 6w5d and got to see his heart beat. We will have another u/s on Wednesday to hopefully hear it. My only concern right now is keeping PGAL anxiety down to a manageable level and finding an exercise routine because dayum my ass has gotten fat.
Also, I really miss you ladies. I lurk here every single day and root for you so hard! If I could say anything to you right now and have it really hit your heart, it would be that it's okay to not be okay. You're doing all that you can every cycle and there's really nothing you could've done differently. You're doing something super important so please be kind to and do kind things for yourself. Hugs.
People think we become mothers when we give birth but the truth is we become mothers the moment we start calling our babies to us in our thoughts, dreams and prayers. Some paths are short and some are so long that you can easily forget where you were headed.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share?
I had a baby! Vincent Roman came into the world at 3:07 am on 12/28. We've had bumps in the road including 2 tongue tie procedures, and Vinny lost 11oz from delivery to his first appointment because of it 😭 he's just so tiny, but mighty. He's hanging out in the 6lb range trying to pack the pounds on. I'm so in love with him.
I'm so happy for all of the recent grads. I can't even express the joy seeing ladies I was on TTGP getting their BFPs and others getting their take home babies. I feel so lucky to have met the ladies I have when I was on TTGP. Some I've become incredibly close with and feel so thankful for the friendships I've made. Thank you for all the support and love that's been shown to me. I'm still lurking and rooting for my TTCAL ladies. Xoxo

I'm so thrilled to see even more grads here on TTGP (December was AMAZING) and look forward to not recognizing ANY of the names in the dailies, unless you're back TFAS! I adore this board. I still lurk here all the time and am cheering for all my long-time TTGPers and the TTCAL ladies!

I miss this board and all of the amazing ladies I had the pleasure of meeting here.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? We've had all good test results. And yesterday we FINALLY got to hear the heart beat so that was nice and reassuring. Like others mentions, it's hard for it to feel real but I think this is happening. I'm just so grateful for this group of amazing ladies who got me through the last 3 years! I also miss the organization of this board...July BMB is crazy IMO. I try to connect with them but i mostly post in PAIF.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I have my anatomy scan on Monday. All the scans have looked normal up to this point, but I'm still scared they will find something like what my angel daughter had or something completely different.
*How long were you active on TTGP and when? On and off since dec ‘17, was benched for 6 months
*How far along are you? 17 + 5
*Which birth month board/due date? June 15th. But baby will come the week of May 20th at 36 weeks to avoid my uterus rupturing from previous complications. To be honest it doesn’t even feel real yet and I keep thinking in the back of my mind we may not get to bring her home.
*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Pink. I am relieved we aren’t having a boy in a way. It feels less like we are replacing our sons. And more like an addition. Although I would have been happy either way, it’s just easier to process grief this way.
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We did, but are having second thoughts because of its popularity. I do think we are set on her middle name being Grace.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? We have our anatomy scan on the 28th. I’m nervous because that’s when they found things wrong with our boys who we lost. It is going to be a huge milestone for us.
I really miss the TTCAL ladies who were in June. I have been struggling with it just not feeling the same since a handful of you left. Even though we have a PGAL group I’m thankful for in June, with the TTCAL ladies, it was an easy unspoken camaraderie. It felt like I didn’t have to explain myself at all in ttcal. And now I feel a little lost in the “nursery decor” threads and such. I can’t even bring myself to put together a nursery until after the baby is here and feel like a broken record in June talking about why I can’t do those things. The majority there seem so happy and blissfully ignorant. I am a little jealous of that peace of mind.
I also miss the no nonsense shit of TTGP. I lurk still every week and am so happy to have seen so many grads! I love you ladies and thanks for not forgetting about me, despite my lovely banning.

I could continue rambling but will spare you all As much as I try I do not get onto TB too often lately, stupid phone has been taking forever to load. If anyone is interested in following me on IG send me a PM. I still miss TTGP and am so excited for all the recent grads. I would not have made it through without all of you. I still hold out hope for the day I can come back to lurk and not recognize a single name here. I wish you all the best and TTGP will always have a special place in my heart

*How far along are you? 17 + 5
*Which birth month board/due date? June 15th. But baby will come the week of May 20th at 36 weeks to avoid my uterus rupturing from previous complications. To be honest it doesn’t even feel real yet and I keep thinking in the back of my mind we may not get to bring her home.
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We did, but are having second thoughts because of its popularity. I do think we are set on her middle name being Grace.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? We have our anatomy scan on the 28th. I’m nervous because that’s when they found things wrong with our boys who we lost. It is going to be a huge milestone for us.
I really miss the TTCAL ladies who were in June. I have been struggling with it just not feeling the same since a handful of you left. Even though we have a PGAL group I’m thankful for in June, with the TTCAL ladies, it was an easy unspoken camaraderie. It felt like I didn’t have to explain myself at all in ttcal. And now I feel a little lost in the “nursery decor” threads and such. I can’t even bring myself to put together a nursery until after the baby is here and feel like a broken record in June talking about why I can’t do those things. The majority there seem so happy and blissfully ignorant. I am a little jealous of that peace of mind.
I also miss the no nonsense shit of TTGP. I lurk still every week and am so happy to have seen so many grads! I love you ladies and thanks for not forgetting about me, despite my lovely banning.

*How long were you active on TTGP and when? May 2017-March 2018
I still miss TTGP and am so excited for all the recent grads. I would not have made it through without all of you. I still hold out hope for the day I can come back to lurk and not recognize a single name here. I wish you all the best and TTGP will always have a special place in my heart
