*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. Haven’t talked about it at all!
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? We had an 8 week US this morning and everything is looking good so far. I still can’t believe it’s even happening since so far I’ve been symptom free (knock on wood) and therefore anxious AF. You ladies have no idea how much I miss you- I’m sure there are cool people on my BMB, but nothing compares to the community over here. I lurk you ladies in the IF thread all the time and hope the best for all of you always ❤️❤️❤️

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. I haven't let myself really go there yet.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Well, I graduated from the RE a few weeks ago (such a weird, bittersweet feeling), Started seeing my OB this week. So far so good but PGAL/IF brain is so hard to shake. NT scan is next week so I'm hoping after that I will start to relax a little more.
I miss you guys and creep on the IF/TTCAL thread a lot! And am rooting for you all!

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? just so glad to finally be less anxious about baby. We are able to feel baby move around more (and baby LOVES to keep mommy up at night moving and grooving!), and MH has gotten to feel baby kick finally, which made it really real for him! I’m creeping the hell out of your board and giving all the positive vibes to see more grads! I miss you all like crazy!

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. Her name is Lucy.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Had my anatomy scan this week right after a week at Disney. Apparently she has a 2 vessel cord, but everything else looks good. I’ll be getting monthly growth scans and a fetal echocardiogram just to be sure that there are no big issues caused by the cord and that I’m not passing my heart condition on to her. My doctor isn’t worried about it, so I’m trying not to be, but I don’t like hearing that anything is abnormal.
Otherwise, I just miss you guys so much. This community has meant so much to me, even since I graduated. Wishing you all the best and constantly lurking to see those grad posts.

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We have spent the last few weeks using the names on our shortlist one by one, moving to the next when we know it doesn’t feel right (fastest was under a minute!) and we have been using one name for over a week now which I think is her name as it feels so right and natural. But let’s see when she comes out!
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? The worries do stay with you during pregnancy but change in nature, if you’re prepared for it and adopt coping strategies early it helps.
Please as always remember that I’m only a PM away if anyone needs support on DOR or autoimmune/clotting issues.
Especially keep the ladies on the IF thread in my thoughts.

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Pink💗
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. Still figuring out her first name, but the middle name is all set! We're combining the first names of my two paternal grandfathers as her middle name. So it'll be masculine, but I love what it signifies (as they are no longer with us). Her first name will be ultra feminine (not girly...if that makes any sense? Haha!)
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? We took our babymoon two weeks ago to the Bahamas and it was glorious. We left DS with family and it was so relaxing & much needed. We never took a babymoon with DS because Zika was so prevalent. However, this time, I was not going to NOT take one😂
On a different note, I truly miss the community of women on TTGP, but am so thrilled to see so many ladies moving on. 2020 will be a great year for all. I just know it!♥️

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. Still keeping it to ourselves until he's born
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? We found out he is measuring greater than the 95% in size and 2+ weeks ahead. But his growth is proportionate and it's early so no real concern is needed. I think after going through IF and loss in the back of your mind you are always prepared for bad news. But despite that I am trying to enjoy every minute.
I still lurk the IF thread and I am rooting for all of you. I did all my own injections for both IUI and IVF so if anyone ever has any questions about that or anything else just PM me or tag me.

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. So bad. We have a very long list of names that have been used in the family since we like using family names. But literally nothing is sticking. We’ve tabled the conversation for now so we’ll see when we revisit that.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share?
DD is so convinced that this baby is a boy. She won’t even discuss the possibility of it being a girl. We’ll have to see in 20+ weeks if she’s right!
Wishing the best for everyone! Obviously, I still creep because sometimes I still comment since I appreciate you all so much and want great things for all (especially the IF ladies who got me through everything!)

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. I think mh and I agree on one!!! I had really wanted Adelaide, and he really wanted Elizabeth, but we ended up finding a third option that we both love. But I’m too scared to give it away for some reason. Superstition maybe? Insert the office meme here.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I keep coming back here and looking for the grad thread. It hasn't been as successful lately so I hope to see it explode pretty soon.

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. Eileen Althea (I think I shared the story about the names last month)
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? It's looking like the addition is not quite going to be livable before this baby comes, but I'm perfectly fine with that. We finally got all the storage stuff out of the nursery, and it's pretty much ready for baby. Just looking forward to the holidays and then this little girl coming in January! I really am hoping that she doesn't have the same genetic heart condition that me and DD have. We finally got a good handle on getting DD's medicine all worked out, after complications with insurance and the pharmacy over compounded medication. So at least I know what we could get getting into, but I'd rather not have to worry about another daughter.

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. I think I have one picked out. It was on our list last time but MH didn't pick it as one of his top picks for some reason. This time, he says he likes it, so I'm hoping we can use it and he doesn't change his mind on me like he did at like 8.5 months last time! Still unsure on middle name.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Anatomy scan is Thursday, and I'm starting to feel movement, which is really exciting and reassuring! I really miss it here and I try to lurk but I have been so busy lately that I haven't been a very good bumper. But I am always rooting for you ladies form the sidelines, especially the IF and TTCAL ladies. I want to see that grad thread BLOW UP soon, okay? Also, @inthewoods23 OMG Glaciar and Basalt are SO CUTE! 😍

Also sorry to post this so late in the month =/ I try to get here early for this thread, but I must have missed the tag. My home internet doesn't like to load TB in a timely fashion, which is super annoying. And I didn't want anyone to think anything was wrong or anything, so here I am, posting late, & everything is a-okay. xo.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? My anatomy scan was yesterday and everything is measuring right on track! Baby was not being the most cooperative and I almost was going to need to go back another day for more pictures of the heart. Thankfully the tech was able to get everything after one last try. I also have been getting my thyroid labs checked every month (I went off meds at the start of the pregnancy). They were trending upwards and now this month they dropped to a great number. I am thankful that my body seems to be getting its shit together.
I am always lurking and rooting so hard for all of you!

We had an 8 week US this morning and everything is looking good so far. I still can’t believe it’s even happening since so far I’ve been symptom free (knock on wood) and therefore anxious AF.
You ladies have no idea how much I miss you- I’m sure there are cool people on my BMB, but nothing compares to the community over here. I lurk you ladies in the IF thread all the time and hope the best for all of you always ❤️❤️❤️

So far so good but PGAL/IF brain is so hard to shake. NT scan is next week so I'm hoping after that I will start to relax a little more.
I miss you guys and creep on the IF/TTCAL thread a lot! And am rooting for you all!

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We have a boy name and a girl name prepared. Elizabeth Mae and William Allan
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share?
just so glad to finally be less anxious about baby. We are able to feel baby move around more (and baby LOVES to keep mommy up at night moving and grooving!), and MH has gotten to feel baby kick finally, which made it really real for him! I’m creeping the hell out of your board and giving all the positive vibes to see more grads! I miss you all like crazy!
*How far along are you? 21w6d
*Which birth month board/due date? April, 4/11
*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Pink!
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. Her name is Lucy.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Had my anatomy scan this week right after a week at Disney. Apparently she has a 2 vessel cord, but everything else looks good. I’ll be getting monthly growth scans and a fetal echocardiogram just to be sure that there are no big issues caused by the cord and that I’m not passing my heart condition on to her. My doctor isn’t worried about it, so I’m trying not to be, but I don’t like hearing that anything is abnormal.
Otherwise, I just miss you guys so much. This community has meant so much to me, even since I graduated. Wishing you all the best and constantly lurking to see those grad posts.

*Which birth month board/due date? March 7th, I mostly lurk the BMB
*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Pink
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We have spent the last few weeks using the names on our shortlist one by one, moving to the next when we know it doesn’t feel right (fastest was under a minute!) and we have been using one name for over a week now which I think is her name as it feels so right and natural. But let’s see when she comes out!
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share?
The worries do stay with you during pregnancy but change in nature, if you’re prepared for it and adopt coping strategies early it helps.

*Which birth month board/due date? March BMB, 3/23/20!
*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Pink💗
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. Still figuring out her first name, but the middle name is all set! We're combining the first names of my two paternal grandfathers as her middle name. So it'll be masculine, but I love what it signifies (as they are no longer with us). Her first name will be ultra feminine (not girly...if that makes any sense? Haha!)
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? We took our babymoon two weeks ago to the Bahamas and it was glorious. We left DS with family and it was so relaxing & much needed. We never took a babymoon with DS because Zika was so prevalent. However, this time, I was not going to NOT take one😂
On a different note, I truly miss the community of women on TTGP, but am so thrilled to see so many ladies moving on. 2020 will be a great year for all. I just know it!♥️

So bad. We have a very long list of names that have been used in the family since we like using family names. But literally nothing is sticking. We’ve tabled the conversation for now so we’ll see when we revisit that.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share?
Wishing the best for everyone! Obviously, I still creep because sometimes I still comment since I appreciate you all so much and want great things for all (especially the IF ladies who got me through everything!)

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? PINK!
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. I think mh and I agree on one!!! I had really wanted Adelaide, and he really wanted Elizabeth, but we ended up finding a third option that we both love. But I’m too scared to give it away for some reason. Superstition maybe? Insert the office meme here.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I keep coming back here and looking for the grad thread. It hasn't been as successful lately so I hope to see it explode pretty soon.

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. Eileen Althea (I think I shared the story about the names last month)
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? It's looking like the addition is not quite going to be livable before this baby comes, but I'm perfectly fine with that. We finally got all the storage stuff out of the nursery, and it's pretty much ready for baby. Just looking forward to the holidays and then this little girl coming in January!
I really am hoping that she doesn't have the same genetic heart condition that me and DD have. We finally got a good handle on getting DD's medicine all worked out, after complications with insurance and the pharmacy over compounded medication. So at least I know what we could get getting into, but I'd rather not have to worry about another daughter.
*How far along are you? I'll be 19 weeks on Thursday!
*Which birth month board/due date? May 7
*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Blue
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. I think I have one picked out. It was on our list last time but MH didn't pick it as one of his top picks for some reason. This time, he says he likes it, so I'm hoping we can use it and he doesn't change his mind on me like he did at like 8.5 months last time! Still unsure on middle name.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Anatomy scan is Thursday, and I'm starting to feel movement, which is really exciting and reassuring! I really miss it here and I try to lurk but I have been so busy lately that I haven't been a very good bumper. But I am always rooting for you ladies form the sidelines, especially the IF and TTCAL ladies. I want to see that grad thread BLOW UP soon, okay? Also, @inthewoods23 OMG Glaciar and Basalt are SO CUTE! 😍

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. DH keeps wanting to commit & I refuse. I like a list.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Just that I have my FX for yall--I know this was a tough time of year for me last year, and I will always remember how essential this community was for me during that time. Also sorry to post this so late in the month =/ I try to get here early for this thread, but I must have missed the tag. My home internet doesn't like to load TB in a timely fashion, which is super annoying. And I didn't want anyone to think anything was wrong or anything, so here I am, posting late, & everything is a-okay. xo.

*How are you doing picking out a name? Haven't even discussed it yet.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? My anatomy scan was yesterday and everything is measuring right on track! Baby was not being the most cooperative and I almost was going to need to go back another day for more pictures of the heart. Thankfully the tech was able to get everything after one last try. I also have been getting my thyroid labs checked every month (I went off meds at the start of the pregnancy). They were trending upwards and now this month they dropped to a great number. I am thankful that my body seems to be getting its shit together.
I am always lurking and rooting so hard for all of you!
