Pink!
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it.
99% sure she has a name!! We’ve come a long way since “Baby Girl / New Baby”.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share?
Nah, not too much to report. Everything is going great! We had new lights installed in the nursery and remaining bedrooms and now the nursery is scheduled to be painted next week, and then we have to trek on down to get DS’s big boy furniture from Ikea real soon. It’s blowing my mind that I’m almost done growing this little girl and that it’s entirely possible she could be here quite soon!! *cue the waterworks*
Seeing all the awesome grads makes me so SO happy, but I’m still hoping, wishing and praying for the rest of my friends on here to get their happy ending. I’m always here lurking (seriously, FRIENDS IS LIFE and P&R starts slow, but in the end is SO MUCH BETTER than the Office, HIMYM is wait for it...legendary!! 😂). Sending you all so much sunshine and love as always. 😎❤️
*How far along are you? 6w6d
*Which birth month board/due date? March 2020 / 3/21 (why yes, 5 days before *my* birthday)
*Team Pink/Blue/Green? We'll probably find out but not tell anyone?
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. PGAL brain is not allowing for me to think this far ahead, though I've got some mental longlists.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I had my first appointment yesterday, & everything looks good--measuring on track, good HB. I cried as soon as the u/s tech said everything looked good. She told us right away, too, which was reassuring ((((TW prev. loss))) since last time we'd been in that room w/ her, she dug around in there a lot & found nothing good. (((End TW))) I was actually surprised that I cried? I guess I wasn't letting myself realize how nervous I truly was, though I KNEW I was nervous obvs. The "real" first appoint. & followup u/s is in a little under two weeks, so--letting myself be happy btw now and then. /// I MISS YALL SO MUCH. Rooting for everyone hard.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I’ve started to really embrace the idea of twins. We moved ds into his new room so we could start planning the nursery. I’ve been looking into how I want to decorate and I’ve also been looking at cute take home outfits. I’m becoming impatient waiting to find out what they are.
I miss everyone here so much and am rooting for you all. I love seeing all your updates on your progress with testing etc. and all the recent graduates have made me so happy! Im always lurking and sending you all all the love ❤️.

Diagnosed with PCOS & Hashimoto's
How long were you active on TTGP? Feb-July 2019.
How far along are you? 5 weeks.
Which birth month board/due date? April whenever the board gets created. 4/3ish.
Team Pink/Blue/Green? Finding out as soon as we can.
How are you doing at picking out a name? Feel free to share it. Girl’s first name has been picked out for years. Boy names scare me.
Questions, concerns or other? Anything else you want to share.
I feel kind of weird that the checkin is less than a week after my grad post, but I’m not passing it up. My first appointment is 8/22, so I may come back to update after that, but I’ll probably wait until September.
The transition away from TTGP is impossible. I already miss you all so much and I want to respond to all the threads. You’ll probably notice that I’m still love titting a lot, because I can’t stop wanting to check up on you all. I’m rooting so hard for you and praying for lots of BFPs soon. You all deserve it.

*How far along are you?
30 weeks 5 days
*Which birth month board/due date?
October 6
*Team Pink/Blue/Green?
It's a girl 💖
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it.
We are 99% decided on the girl name we have had picked out for years. I think I just need to see her sweet face before I can be 100% sure.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share?
I am always lurking and love-titting in your bushes. There was a month or so recently when I couldn't access TTGP from mobile for some reason (silly TB glitch?), and it made me miss you all like crazy. I felt like TTGP was Ron Swanson and I was the crazy lady in the pink sweater following you round and round but never quite getting here.
Anyway, even on the days I'm not here, I'm thinking of you and rooting for all the BFPs and take home babies. ❤
*How far along are you? 19w5d
*Which birth month board/due date? Dec, due the 22nd
*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Team blue
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We are 100% set on a name, but I am not 100% set on sharing it because it is really uncommon. Middle name is Aaron after my late brother.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Not too much to share, I had my AS this week, and little guy stayed curled up in a ball the entire time so I have to go back in a few weeks to finish it.
I miss you all like crazy and wish you all the best.
*How long were you active on TTGP and when? May 2017- Feb 2019

*Which birth month board/due date? October, C-Section scheduled October 9
*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Pink
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. Hannah, middle is probably Raelynn
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share. It's crazy how quickly this summer went, and even crazier i'll have a squish in 10 or less weeks. I'm hoping we make it that long. She is on the line for being IUGR but so far we are just above where we need to be for them to consider her of normal healthy size. We also found out that she has only one functional kidney, however as long as the one is working fine this is not a huge deal.
I miss you ladies, especially my TTCAL ladies. I hope to see more of you on this side soon.

Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Hi friends! I can't believe baby is almost here you gies! It still doesn't feel real. Isn't that strange?! He moved down lower into my pelvis the other night, there is an increase in pressure waves, and I lost 7lbs of weight which Dr. Google says can be a sign of early birthing time. The nursery is done, my bags are packed, and all of baby's stuff is in place. There was an elevated bp this morning and hopefully it doesn't happen again because I'm determined to have the unmedicated birth that I want.
Also, It makes my heart so happy to see familiar names continue to dwindle around these parts. To all of my IF sisters, I'm so excited to see a lot of you preparing for ERs/FETs. Buckle your seat belts. It's a wild ride, but you can totally do it. One day at a time. You are strong like bull! Keep supporting one another and don't leave anyone unresponded to. I cannot tell you how important that is. I will still lurk as much as possible until it's not practical, but know that you are in my heart and on my mind. My inbox will still be open to anyone who needs it--internet stranger or not!

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. No luck yet. DH is set on either Jean Luc or James Tiberius for a boy 🙄 Girls we have a few like Victoria, Lilianna, and Adalynn, but we aren't in love with any.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Can't remember how much I shared last time about our master suite addition. But the slab is poured and we are getting the trusses today to start framing. It's going to be so real once the framing is completed. We are also rushing getting it dried in because now that the concrete is up to the level of our house, we are experiencing water intrusion every hard rain.
