Re: TTGP Grad Check-in August
*How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)?
Sept 2018 - Nov 2019
We have a middle name picked out, which is the same as my Dad's. So.... halfway there, right?? 😬
The whole giving birth in a Pandemic thing is starting to get real. It definitely increases my anxiety level but at the same time I can't wait to meet this little guy.
And, of course I'm still always lurking and cheering yall on! I loved the food themed GTKYs this week. But for the marshmallow one, how did nobody say #6, but pull off the nasty charred part and just eat the delicious gooey center? That's clearly the answer 😂.
So much love to all of you, and rooting for many many more BFPs this summer!! ♥️
*How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)? August 2018- November 2019
*How far along are you? 4 weeks PP tomorrow
*Which birth month board/due date? July BMB, due date was 7/17. She arrived on 7/6
*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Pink
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We finally did it! Peyton Nicole (my middle name) 💓
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I can’t believe this is my last check in 💔 time flies when...you’re in a global pandemic and barely leave the house? PP has been really hard and it’s hard balancing those thoughts knowing i wanted this for so long, so that has been tough to manage these past several weeks on top of everything else. I still have survivor’s guilt (for lack of a better term) for moving on while friends are still here, so I beat myself up for not being 200% thankful all the time during the sleepless nights etc.
I’m excited and hopeful for the new treatment plans starting up right now! I’m really hoping to see a bunch of my favorite people in the IF thread graduate in the next few months ❤️ You all have been such effing troopers during this whole covid thing. Not that I didn’t think you all were strong before, but wow. Love you ladies and am always rooting for you! Please feel free to PM me any time.
@jennifer_louise I was thinking the other day how it seems like so many grads have been team pink lately so I'm happy when we've got a few team blues in the mix 🙂

@jennifer_louise feel free to send me pics of what you're knitting for your baby boy!
@b_1029 I second exactly what @inthewoods23 said. ❤️❤️
@inthewoods23 happy to represent team blue! As my sister said to me the other day (and I'll put this in a spoiler because it's quite inappropriate):
*How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)? Dec 2019- April 2020
*How far along are you? 20 weeks on Tuesday
*Which birth month board/due date? Dec 2020
*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Will find out this week
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. Haven't really talked about it. I think we are waiting to see what team we are on. However we did discuss the name John for a boy, since it is a family name for many family members. We would call him by his middle name, since that is what my husband does to avoid all the John confusion.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Miss all of you! Wishing you the best! Also how is the "summer" over already?
*How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)? TTC Jan 2018, on TTGP from Sept 2018 to April 2020
*How far along are you? 18.5 weeks.
*Which birth month board/due date? December
*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Pink!
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. She will be Claire-Ellen
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Still struggling with HG. I'm now going for weekly fluid infusions so feeling a little better, but a lot of time spent miserable / worried she isn't getting enough from me. My son's birthday is soon, and he had a very traumatic birth (Maternal near miss) so I always struggle this time of year, and this year is extra hard since I am in and out of the hospital and pregnant.
20 week ultrasound is coming up on the 13th, so I am excited about that. Starting to plan my maternity leave and tell all my clients what to expect. It's been mostly well received. Only one "Are you coming back??!"
Hi!! I miss you ladies!
*How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)? August 2019 - April 2020
*How far along are you? 21w3d
*Which birth month board/due date? December 2020
*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Pink
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. I can't commit to anything and I change my mind constantly! I think we're going to have to have a list going into the hospital and then just see what she looks like when she is born!
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? We're putting the deposit down on her daycare today. It's weird because right now I'm working from home, and we don't know what the state of the world will be come March, but I'd rather be prepared and have it all lined up.
*How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)? April 2019-July 2020
*How far along are you? 6 weeks tomorrow
*Which birth month board/due date? March 30
*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Will definitely be finding out!
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We've kicked around a few, nothing serious yet though since the baby is currently the size of a pomegranate seed.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? It was a not very fun exciting weekend over here, I had a small red bleed on Saturday afternoon, we freaked out and called the emergency RE line. It did stop and never filled a pad so we're hoping it was an isolated incident. We both knew that bleeding is really common in IVF pregnancies, but knowing it and seeing it are two very different things! File under things I never thought I would do: giving MH reports about what my tp looked like every time I go to the bathroom
Just going to count the days until my first ultrasound on Friday at this point.
Just wanted to say I miss all of you like crazy! I've been loving all the GTKYs recently and am dying to weigh in
Potatoes are life in any and all forms!

*How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)? 9ish months - May 2019 to Feb 2020
*How far along are you? 29+1
*Which birth month board/due date? October 18, 2020 (moved to FB group last month)
*Team Pink/Blue/Green? PINK
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it.: As always, putting in a spoiler since the internets are forever.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I think the "it's really real" is starting to set in now that I'm in the third trimester. MH and I both have started nesting, which is a little difficult since we're still in a pandemic and to make matters worse we're getting hit by Hurricane Isaias tomorrow. Thankfully, we're both teleworking successfully, so that's good.
I lurk here pretty frequently, so if you see a lovetit from me that's because I miss y'all and am loving your journeys. Fingers crossed for a mass exodus soon!!

I’m still stunned he’s here. I fully expected to be overdue. I’m sad this is my last check in. Selfishly it’s how I’ve clung to my “comfort.” I will forever lurk and forever root all of you on 💓

@mvt2003 praying for a great ultrasound for you this week!! Sorry you had that scare. *creepy internet-stranger hugs*
@babyodo I am starting to feel that *oh shit it’s real* feeling lately too. Realizing I only have 3 months left now until baby boy arrives is daunting. I have so much to do..... and yet I’ve procrastinated so far so I guess my nesting hasn’t kicked in yet! Lol.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Not too much going on over here. Work is saying there pretty much no way we will be back in office until after the new year and I can’t believe I got away with not having to buy any maternity work clothes! FMLA was approved quickly and easily which was good because I was worried I was going to have to argue over whether my time as a contractor counted. I’m very daunted thinking I only have 3 months left before Babyboy makes his arrival.
Miss you all!

*How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)? Sept 2018 to April 2020.
*How far along are you? 19 weeks!
*Which birth month board/due date? Dec 2020
*Team Pink/Blue/Green? PINK.
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. She will be Claire-Ellen Ruth or Ruthie - we are debating on the middle name, or not having one all together. With the double-barreled first it's a lot, but I also like the fact having a middle name makes it clear Claire-Ellen is her whole first name. My grandmas are Claire and Ellen, and my mom is Mary-Ellen, so it honors all the important women in my life. Ruthie was my husbands aunt who passed away.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? 20 week ultrasound in 10 days! I've been really struggling with Hyperemesis Gradivardium, but my doctor is really proactive about it. I am now going for fluids once a week, on three different medications and able to feel almost normal some days. I'm a little bitter about the fact we struggled with infertility and now this pregnancy is so.damn.hard. but hoping maybe it means she'll be an easy baby.
@babyodo I love that!
@mvt2003 I've had three small bright red bleeds this pregnancy. It's definitely scary! YAYYYYY for twins!
