*How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)? February to July 2019

*How far along are you? 17 weeks

*Which birth month board/due date? 4/11 April BMB

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? PINK!

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We are naming her Lucy after my grandmother.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I can’t believe I’m having a girl. We found out yesterday and I was so surprised and excited. We’re telling our family tonight, but they are all bugging me all day today trying to get me to say something early. Weirdos.

I miss you, ladies. I miss this board. I’m lurking on here most days and waiting with anticipation to see the grad announcement thread blow up. I’m so excited for the recent graduates and so happy that I recognize fewer and fewer names on the dailies. Rooting for you ladies so hard. I hope you’re all over here next month.

prpl11butterfly · November 2019

*How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)? March 18 to Feb 19

*How far along are you? 2wks PP

*Which birth month board/due date? EDD was 10/23 but she arrived on 10/21

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Pink

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. Her name is Sage

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I'm sitting here with my rainbow and life just feels right. The losses were so so hard but this little girl, she was meant for our family ❤ Posting this final update is bittersweet. The road here was long an painful but so many of you were there to support me through it. This group (and TTCAL in particular) was a lifeboat to me and I love watching it continue to be for others. I am beyond thankful for you all and I am waiting anxiously to see more grads and more rainbows.

kagesstarshroom · November 2019

*How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)? Nov. 2018-July 2019, skip a month

*How far along are you? 20w3d

*Which birth month board/due date? March 2020 3/21

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Team We-Know-But-Aren't-Telling (Yet)

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. I have a list! DH has strong preferences towards some of them & wants a "French/Cajun" middle name so baby has some sort of tie to Louisiana--and I'm like, baby will always have that tie bc their birth certificate will be from here even if we don't? And have different ideas about middle names, but I am... strongly against naming baby early.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? We go to the ob's office tomorrow for our anatomy u/s, which I am excited about! Also, I can feel some movement for the first time--also excited about that. Rooting for all yall as always, and always happy to see who's recently graduated!

inthewoods23 · November 2019

@prpl11butterfly Sage is a GOREGOUS name! Love it!! So happy for you!

bows22 · November 2019

I lurk the IF thread daily and I can’t wait until all the names I recognize move on to their bmbs. Sending you all love and light and I can’t wait to see that grad thread blow up again soon!

begging4abump · November 2019

Eeeee, my first check in!

*Which birth month board/due date? June 7. I know, I KNOW. You hate the June board. 😂

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Finding out

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. Can’t help but toss names between dh and me to see what might stick. I am super indecisive, so who knows?

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Oh man, I can’t stay away! I am rooting SO HARD for so many people on this board. I hope you know that my “love its” on posts are little hugs. I feel so weird clicking “love it” to heart aching updates, but I don’t want to cross any lines by saying anything. If I ever am causing you to feel negative in any way, please let me know. I can lurk more ninja-like if needed.💗

puppylove8910 · November 2019

These updates make me smile so much!

*How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)? April - July 2019

*How far along are you? 20w+1d

*Which birth month board/due date? March BMB, 3/23

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? PINK!

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. Still plugging away on figuring out her name. At this rate, I hope we settle on something by the time she arrives. Haha

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I had my anatomy scan today and everything checked out great! I feel like I can FINALLY breathe and enjoy the rest of my pregnancy. I can't believe I'm already half way. I miss the TTGP community a bunch. It's just such a special group of women. I'm always lurking and wishing for positive news for everyone.

holly321 · November 2019

*How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)? Feb2017-April2019

*How far along are you? 33 weeks

*Which birth month board/due date?
Due December 22nd
*Team Pink/Blue/Green?
Team blue!
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it
He has so many names, but we finally settled with Jack. i didn’t originally want something so popular, but it just felt right.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I had an ultrasound last week, and he is measuring large (his head was 2 weeks ahead). My older kids were both tiny, (but with big heads) so I will be surprised if he is actually big.

I say this every month, but I really wish you ladies the best and hope to one day not recognize any names when I lurk.

puppylove8910 · November 2019

Awwww @ruby696! Boy/girl twins😍

Congratulations on the arrival of your baby girl @prpl11butterfly. Enjoy the snuggles.

It's amazing to me how quickly everyone's pregnancies seem to be going!

mama_mea · November 2019

@holly321 I rember you from the December BMB. Hoping for a happy and healthy baby for you next month.

ejoseph16 · November 2019

*How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)? January 2019-August 2019

*How far along are you? 17w4d

*Which birth month board/due date? April 2020/April 10

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Staying strong with green!

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it.
we have a boy name and a girl name. Not sharing except with family!

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Just anxiously awaiting our anatomy scan next week! We are so excited to see our sweet baby again since we haven’t seen it since 7 weeks for the initial heartbeat check. But overall everything is going great! Still stalking the hell out of the board to see you all begin this crazy emotional journey!

mokay19 · November 2019

*How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)?

Jan-Sept 2019

*How far along are you? 11+3

*Which birth month board/due date? May 23rd! (Not sure how I got on the June list 😄)

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Green!

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it.
Zero idea. And DH is useless at this haha

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I feel like I still haven’t relaxed this pregnancy. PGAL brain is terrible. I can finally get the HB on the doppler regularly though so that eases to worry for about 5 minutes.

I creep the IF post on here so regularly and root for you all so hard! This board got me through the ups and downs so I want the best for you all!

bows22 · November 2019

@ruby696 I did see your boy/girl news on your BMB and I am so so excited for your family. How perfect!

@begging4abump Your love its always make me smile! Sorry about the June hate 😂. You know we love you!

kpearse99 · November 2019

@mokay19 I have no idea how I messed up your BM... i just copy and paste 😂 I’ll fix it though!! Also, i miss you!!!!

@begging4abump But we loooooove you!!! And all the love tits you give!! ♥️♥️

celticknotfire · November 2019

*How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)? Oct 2018- June 2019

*How far along are you? 24 weeks tomorrow!

*Which birth month board/due date? Feb 20 EDD 02/28

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Blue!

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. I'm almost 100% but we haven't said it to anyone yet

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I can't believe how quickly this is going. I thought everything was good on the AS but it turns out we need to get more images in a few weeks.

I lurk the IF thread all the time and I am rooting for all of you. There is no way I would have gotten through everything without all of you and I can't wait for the day when I don't recognize any names.

shamrocandroll · November 2019

*How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)?  Dec '18 - late Aug '19

*How far along are you?  14w tomorrow!

*Which birth month board/due date?  May 2020 / May 7

*Team Pink/Blue/Green?  Blue! But we're not telling anyone IRL.

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it.  I think we might have one already, although MH won't commit this early. But I'm shocked because it took almost the whole 9 months to name DS1 and I thought for sure we'd never agree on another boy name. I'm a little bit sad I'll never get to use my girl name at this point, or dress a baby up in hair bow and tutus... but little boys are just the best.  💙

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share?  Ditto to what @begging4abump said about love tits. I always feel odd love titting some of the tougher updates, but I want you all to feel my love somehow. I'm doing my best to lurk, especially the IF thread, but I can't always keep up. Just know I'm here rooting for you ladies, and I don't know where I'd be without everyone here... especially my TTCAL ladies. I miss you all so much and I'm so happy I'm recognizing fewer names on here lately. Let's get a mass exodus going soon, k? So many hugs to all!

mvt2003 · November 2019

Ahhhhh so exciting @shamrocandroll !!!! Also, I feel so honored we get to know Team Blue!

misshelen86 · November 2019

@shamrocandroll @begging4abump The love tits are always appreciated ladies

@ruby696 So exciting about b/g twins!!

@brookert615 Beautiful name!

@prpl11butterfly Aw so happy for you that you have your beautiful rainbow baby!! Congratulations!

marebear15 · November 2019

*How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)? 12 months, May 2018-May 2019

*How far along are you? 29+4

*Which birth month board/due date? January 18th

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Team Pink

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We finally picked a name! Eileen Althea. Eileen is after a wonderful woman in my MIL's life that was a better mother to her than her own birth mother. Althea is a Greek name meaning "healing" and we wanted to commemorate this as our rainbow baby somehow. I think she really was the thing that helped heal us after our MC in January.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I can't remember if I updated any of you about my genetic heart condition. But I finally got a pre-surgery appointment scheduled for March 2020, with a surgery to implant an ICD either in April or May. I want to give myself at least 3 months to recover from birth before doing the surgery. Other than that, my health has been good during this pregnancy!

mercury94 · November 2019

@marebear15 That is a gorgeous name.

mrsvp614 · November 2019

@ruby696 @kbrown2385 B/G twins is amazing!
@holly321 I LOVE Jack! It's on my list, but I don't love it with my last name.
@shamrocandroll I feel you two boys being a little bittersweet

*How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)? Jan-July 19

*How far along are you? 22 weeks

*Which birth month board/due date? March

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Blue!

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We're still working to come up with a short list. I don't think I'll be able to commit until I meet him. Wesley is my favorite name, but DH vetoed it. He's leaning towards Connor, but I can't get Oliver out of my head, despite its popularity.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I'm still lurking and rooting for everyone here! The grad posts make me SO happy!

rikiteacup · November 2019

*How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)? August 2018 - June 2019

*How far along are you? 24w4d

*Which birth month board/due date? Feb 2020 due 2/22

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Pink!

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. I gave a list to H and he is calling the baby with all the names to see which one would work best. I am not under the impression that it's working

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Like everybody else, still lurking everyday and rooting for everyone. I can't believe some of you are this far along already. I felt like you announced yesterday.

wishiwaspreggo · November 2019

*lurking* @ruby696 - I'm a mother of b/g twins, too! Yours will be almost exactly a year behind mine

My EDD was June 1st but I made it to April 29th. 6 months in and I'm still alive. Twin pregnancy is a trip. PM Me if you ever want to chat!

b_1029 · November 2019

I feel really silly posting here but I miss you guys so...hey! Long time no see!

How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)? Aug 18- Monday lol

*How far along are you? 3w5d 😂

*Which birth month board/due date? July. Based on LMP 7/17

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Will find out

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. Oh great we’ve talked about it so much already. Haha jk. Nowhere close to talking about that.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I just got my 2nd beta results and my levels doubled so I’ll go for an US on the 22nd. Just really, really hoping for good news! Also hoping all 3 eggs aren’t in there 😬 I still don’t believe I’m pregnant and like I said feel kinda weird posting here. Maybe next month will be more exciting. Like I said above, I miss all of you and am forever lurking...you can’t get rid of me that easily 😏

mercury94 · November 2019

@b_1029 I also found out right before the Grad Check-in went up the month I found out. It feels sort of awkward posting that early, but it felt impossible not to because I was still going through withdrawals from not being able to interact with my friends as much as I wanted. It’s a surprisingly tough transition. Hope you find some good people on the July BMB and that a few more TTGPers join you so you aren’t alone.

rachelredhead · November 2019

*How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)? Jan 19-Oct 19, off and on due to losses

*How far along are you? 4w5d ish EARLY

*Which birth month board/due date? July

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Team Green, I don’t care (but DH leans blue a bit)

*How are you doing picking out a name? We’ve had a long list of options for months!

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I had a third beta and everything is progressing nicely. I had an infertility consult scheduled for Nov 15 that we got to change to first OB, which feels great. Will likely be too early to see anything exciting but hoping to confirm the pregnancy is in the right place, progressing. Still doesn’t seem real! I feel like a cliche that a month after beginning the adoption process I’m pregnant. We’re going to continue down the adoption path, too, and welcome any babies that end up in our arms. Big hugs to everyone!! (I’m definitely still lurking and crossing my fingers for everyone testing soon)

m6agua · November 2019

*How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)?  April '19 - early Sept '19

*How far along are you?  13weeks!

*Which birth month board/due date?  May 2020 / May 14

*Team Pink/Blue/Green?  We find out December 19th!

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it.  We haven't even thought about names and probably will not until after the anatomy scan.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share?  I've learned that PGAL brain really doesn't go away, even 4 years later. Last week, when I was 11+5 we couldn't pick up anything on the doppler or bedside ultrasound at my appointment. It was more just inconclusive because I have a tipped ute and we couldn't really see clearly. I anxiously waited 3 days to go in again and at 12+1 the bedside ultrasound picked the baby up right away. It was such a stressful time but I am so thankful things are ok so far.

This community is full of amazing women. I am always lurking and rooting for you all! I really hope to see a mass exodus soon!

hanshotfirst77 · November 2019

*How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)? Feb 19 - Oct 19

*How far along are you? 7+4

*Which birth month board/due date? June BMB, June 21st

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Finding out!

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. : PGAL brain probably won't allow me to think about this for a while.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I was waiting to post here until after my appt today. *TW* I had a pretty bad bleeding scare two weeks ago, and have been pretty much spotting off and on since my bfp. I had a really early U/S done after the bleeding and everything looked fine with the baby. But I've pretty much been on edge ever since. PGAL brain is the worst. But today I had another U/S with my RE and everything looked great with the baby still and there was a strong heartbeat.

I miss you guys! I lurk TTCAL and IF daily and am rooting for you all and really hoping to see the grad thread continue to blow up

bows22 · November 2019

okay so I’m doing this here

@rachelredhead I’m sorry if I am missing something but it looks like you posted for a month in February and then again for a month in October. I am very happy for you and I really hope this is your rainbow but that’s not 3 months unless I’m totally missing something. If I am then I am going to feel really bad but now that you posted in the grad thread too I need to know.

emmasemm · November 2019

*How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)? July 2017 to June 2019, 2 full years

*How far along are you? 22+5

*Which birth month board/due date? March but not very active (more on PAIF board), due March 7th

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Pink - first girl as our siblings all had boys so far!

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. No “real” name decided yet. DH likes to tease me with ones he knows I won’t like! Our “working title” is still Ferrari (as she cost more than one!). It’s the best way to strike up a conversation about IF with people without too much pressure!

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I am settling into the fact that no matter what milestone I get passed I will always find something to worry about. I’m being told this is all part of being a parent. Who knew IF would train me so well!!! I love my bump so damn much and this little girl moves so much and it is the best feeling ever.

I really am always still here if you need any IF support. Just DM or tag me as I don’t want to intrude on the safe TTGP space. I do check regularly - as some of you know when I send you a DM if I see something I can help with ;-)
