*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share
Nothing much. Starting to get really nervous about how I’ll balance life. Can’t believe I’m half way there, it all still seems surreal to me. I’m miss you guys so much. Excited to see names on this thread growing.

*Which birth month board/due date? Jan2020/January 18th
*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Not sure yet
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We've thrown around a lot, but haven't had any keepers yet
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share?
I've had a couple of scares in the last few weeks and it's been pretty trying on my PGAL brain. But I'm just taking it one day at a time and saying "I'm pregnant today."
Also, for those in TFAS who knew about me getting DD tested for my genetic heart condition, she came back positive, so they are putting her on a betablocker and will discuss ICD implantation in the future. Hopefully gene therapy goes a long way in the meantime.
Also, regarding the catfish, I'm always surprised when people aren't who they say they are. I hope for her sake, she's learned from her mistakes in the past and has changed like she says she has. I however, will remain skeptical.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Some crazy drama going on around here lately!!! Way to figure it out and call her on it. It definitely worries me about what I choose to share online! I’m sorry that some of the lies were triggering for many of you ❤️ Hugs all around.

*Team Pink/Blue/Green?
Team PINK!! 🌺 (are you shocked? I know I am!!)
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it.
We are still trying some out. We have a name we kinda like, but TBH I like the nicknames waaaaaaay more then the “formal name”. We’re not cool enough to pull a Royal Baby and give a hardcore NN as a first name. 😉
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share?
You guys are prolly tired about the catfish talk. I wish I could say I was surprised about the identity of the catfish...but I’m honestly not. Good detective work done by all!! (And thank you for the awesome Friday distraction!!)
Also, on a happier / lighter note, I’m still tickled pink about your superlative nomination. 🥰 I’ll be here cheering ya’ll creepily on from the shadows until all my TTGP friends graduate.

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it.
We have had a girls name picked out for several years, and it's still our favorite name. I'm 99.9% sure she will end up with that name, but I have commitment issues and am not ready to admit it yet. 😊
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share?
We had our anatomy scan recently and I am so thankful and relieved that everything looks good for our little girl. 💖
As always, I've been creepily lurking in your bushes. Good work catching catfish! 🎣
Also, I was so very excited to see recent graduates into the December and January BMBs!!! Always hoping for more graduates soon. ❤ ❤

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Gies I can’t believe it’s third trimester already! Babies are heavy. The nursery is almost done and nesting is a real thing. I’ve got it bad.
I miss my friends here a lot and pray often to the baby gods to turn your tests to BFP. Hang in there and know that so many are rooting for your Ute! 💛 🤞 🤞 🤞
Re: 🐈 🐠 Sorry I was so intense in there. I was highly triggered. I hope the whole 💩 show doesn’t ruin your TTGP enjoyment going forward.

I had an obgyn appointment today and got to hear the HB for the first time, so I finally feel like I can relax. I saw my obgyn and he was being shadowed by a new midwife and it took her literally like 5 minutes to find the HB which was horrible, my obgyn ended up hugging me, I think he was concerned too, or I didn’t keep as brave a face as I thought.
And of course, I miss you ladies so much, and wish you all the best.

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. MH just sent me our final list in a text last night (he changed a couple middle names) Love the boy initials because they spell OLD and i think it's fun. That being said, i think we are having a girl.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? 1. I think it's funny you all lurk the BMB's for their UO/FFFC and I agree they could be better (i obviously lurk yours...). 2. Still lurking here and cheering everyone on and often find myself replying in my head. 3. I still say the same thing I always say, but MH is amazing and has surprised me the entire pregnancy and i wish you all the same because MH was definitely not as invested/committed as i was as we went through our IF journey. Fingers Crossed he's as good when LO arrives.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I'm pretty negligent on the check-ins because I always want to wait until that next appt so I put off posting over and over. We had our 30w appt yesterday and saw this little dude for the first time since 20w. He is growing really well (measuring 2w ahead!) and seems very healthy by every measure.
I'm thinking of all of you ladies still hoping to get pregnant/get your take home babies. So excited following along as to a FET this week and hoping for great news soon.
Amelia Violet and Elliott Thomas were born on April 29th at 8:30 am. I felt some contractions at 4:30 am and went to the hospital to get checked, just in case. Turns out I was 6 cm dilated and 90% effaced. They immediately prepped me for a c section. Babies had to stay in the NICU for 3 days and then they were able to come home!
They're thriving now and doing great
