Re: TTGP Grad Check In - January

I really miss you all
Oh and I lurk the sh*t out of this board & all other BMBs that are associated with TTGP and I am rooting for everyone in their journey! ETA: when I first saw this while lurking I thought it was the weekly grad thread and got so excited...

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.

And I second what @chichiphin said about thinking this was the grad thread and being excited.
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.

Found out the Friday before Christmas that I have gestational diabetes, but other than that it’s been pretty smooth sailing. Starting to get nervous/excited about her actually being here.
I stalk this board all the time and have been overjoyed seeing all the grads recently!
I still read the TTCAL thread multiple times a week. I miss you all and I’m so happy that December had so many grads!
I still stalk this board weekly and rooting for all of you. This board seriously got me thru some dark times and I’m so greatful for it!
*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.
*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 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
