*How long were you active on TTGP and when? About 1.5 years. Jan 2017-July 2018
*How far along are you? 34w4d
*Which birth month board/due date? 4/11
*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Blue
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. Going to be Callan
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share?
A. I cannot believe I might have a baby this time next month!!
B. I’m still stalking and rooting for all of you ladies!! Part of me is happy I barely recognize any names in the IF thread but the other part of me is bummed that it’s filled with names I don’t recognize. You got this ladies!! You’re stronger than you think ❤️
*How far along are you? 14 + 3
*Which birth month board/due date? 8/31
*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Team Pink!!! Just found out last week.
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. I have a list of names I like, but H wants to come up with his own list before we discuss so it feels like more of a mutual decision... but he has yet to look at names, so I haven't shared my list with him! Hoping he'll start looking soon.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? We got some furniture for the nursery but aren't buying much else until after our shower, which isn't until early July. We just announced on social media last week and most of my coworkers know so I feel better not having to hide anything anymore! I'm lurking TTGP all the time and rooting for all of you to get that BFP and your take home babies
*How far along are you? 36+6
*Which birth month board/due date? March, 3/27
*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Blue!
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We aren't sharing his name until the birth.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I can't believe at the next check-in, he should be here! We are really wanting to make it to 38 weeks and then he can come whenever he's ready. Just a few things left to do to get the house in shape and then I'll feel more prepared for his arrival.
I'm happy to see such a great list of recent grads and keep hoping I can lurk the dailies/TTCAL and not recognize any names. Huge hugs to my long time TTGP/TTCAL ladies, love to you and I keep hoping I'll see your announcements in the grad thread!

Team Pink/Blue/Green? I wanted to stay team green but DH is having none of it, so we will be finding out.
How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We’re both still in the “I can’t believe this is real” stage so we haven’t really talked about it yet.
Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I graduated from my RE a couple weeks ago! Last week I had my OB nurse intake appointment and we got to see the LO wiggling around in there. It was surreal. We’ll go in for our NT scan and NIPT BW in a couple weeks.
I lurk every day and am rooting so hard for every single one of you.
Married: 8/2015

*How far along are you? 38 weeks tomorrow
*Which birth month board/due date? March 20
*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Pink
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. Lucille Helen
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Just biding my time at this point. MH gets home from travel at the end of this week and after that I will be doing ALL the things to encourage her arrival. The last few months have seemed to last forever and I'm ready for a donut (diet controlled gestational diabetes) and a glass of wine. So far no complications from the diabetes and she is growing right on track.
I'm always lurking and I get super excited whenever I see the grad thread pop up. Wishing you all the best for your bfp's and take home babies.
*How far along are you? 24w6d
*Which birth month board/due date? June19 and due June 17th
*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Pink!
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. Margaret "Maggie" - no middle name yet, though we're leaning towards Amelia.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? The baby shower is next weekend and I cannot believe how quickly this is going. Also, I miss you guys.
*How far along are you? 27 weeks today. I can't believe third trimester is just around the corner.
*Which birth month board/due date? Jun 19, due Jun 4
*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Blue!
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We are down to the top three, but still don't have it locked in. It's so hard to decide.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? We finally finished phase one of the house renovations!! In the past 9 months we took an original 1950's house down to the studs, replaced all the electrical, insulation, drywall, baseboards, flooring, and painted every single room. I am exhausted, but now its safe and clean and ready for baby boy.
*How far along are you? 29w+2d
*Which birth month board/due date? May 20
*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Blue
*How are you doing picking out a name? We chose the name Mason Dean after family names from my side of the family.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? We've finished the nursery just about. DH has been working on making spaces in our house "family friendly". He put down a paver patio in the back yard this past weekend to help decrease a steep slope right off the back steps, which should also help the mud situation there from all the run off and washing out. Which makes me happy because the dogs wont be tracking in as much mud and dirt. He's started assessing any and all sharp corners, so it's just a matter of time before he starts baby-proofing the house. It's his way of nesting and I think it's adorable.
*Which birth month board/due date? August 27
*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Blue
*How are you doing picking out a name? His name will be Everett Paul. Paul has been passed down as a middle name on my husband's side for six generations, and the men on that side of the family were all incredible. As for Everett, we just liked it and no one in our circle has used it
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Started feeling baby move (still little movements and not consistent, but definitely baby!) and that is really helping me feel like this pregnancy is real. I still don't have that "connection" or "bond" that some women talk about, which makes me kind of worried, but I'm sure it will come when he's here.
Still stalking TTGP nearly every day and longing to see more of you join your BMBs!
*How far along are you? 7wks
*Which birth month board/due date? Oct / 23rd
*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Finding out
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We've had names picked out for a long, long time. It's just going to come down to the sex.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I was laying low the past few days because my appt was this morning and I was pretty anxious. I was really scared to post and then get bad news. But here I am with good news! It looks like this one is sticking. We have a nice, strong heartbeat and I am measuring 1 day behind where I thought I should be.
As others have said, I'm lurking constantly and crossing everything that you all get to celebrate BFPs very soon!
*How far along are you? 11w+d
*Which birth month board/due date? 9/24

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Pink
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We thought we had a name, now we are back to square one...with no idea.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Cervix is holding steady. Baby girl is measuring ahead at her last growth scan at 24 weeks. I am sort of in a funk though and haven't really been bumping much at all. Week 25-29 is hard for me as it was when it was Abe was fighting in the NICU and eventually passed away. I kind of just want to numbly go through the next few weeks and stay busy not thinking about it.

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We have a couple on our list, most likely baby won’t be named until she’s here.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Can’t believe 3rd tri starts this week! I’m finally letting myself get excited that this is actually happening. I still lurk here and am cheering you all on, I am so happy to see a lot of familiar “faces” graduating 😁 oh and thanks for the Oreo discussions, took care of a package of spring Oreos this week 😋
*How far along are you? 16+4
*Which birth month board/due date? Aug. 22
*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Green.
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. we're working on it. I thought we agreed on a girl's name but DH is convinced I'll change my mind. He's probably right. We've agreed on a few boy first names but are both fighting for our grandfather's name for middle.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Went to my first MFM appt last week and got to see this LO again. It never fails to surprise me to realize that i'm holding my breath until I see baby move/see HB. The doctor was super sweet and told me that he understands the worry after IF.
TTC#1 10/2016
TTC/IF:included medicated cycles, IUIs and 2 rounds of IVF with 1 embryo each.
BFP finally in 12/2018

*Team Pink/Blue/Green?
Team finding out!
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it!
Eh. We haven’t talked that much about it yet, prolly will ramp up the convo once we know whether boy or girl parts are involved.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share?
We had our NT scan with the MFM yesterday and they (US tech and the MFM) weren’t able to find any sign of the umbilical hernia that my OB saw a couple weeks ago. Baby looks good!! So relieved!!
On another note - the Oreo conversation was awesome to watch unfold, and I am guilty of buying some solely due to you guys here!!! I miss you all and can’t wait to see some more grads!!!
*How far along are you? 16w4d
*Which birth month board/due date? August, EDD is 8/29/19
*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Blue!
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We have one picked out.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? We saw baby boy today on u/s. He was looking really great and wiggling all around. I feel so, so lucky, but I also still get a little nervous before every u/s. I kept meaning to check in here in February but then kept thinking, well I'll just wait a little longer. I am still lurking, hoping and rooting for my TTGP friends.
*How far along are you? 12 weeks, 3 days.
*Which birth month board/due date? October, EDD is 10/1/2019
*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Finding out next week when we get the blood test back!
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We have some ideas, but will probably not share with anyone until the baby is born. I don't need that kind of judgement.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? We just had our NT scan done today and everything looked great. I'm so relieved! I miss you beautiful, strong women so much! I continue to lurk and believe that you all will graduate to your BMBs soon. Then, I won't recognize anyone here so I'll have to stop lurking because I won't be emotionally invested in the journey of Sharon_pineapple_oreo_1995.
