*How far along are you? 34w3d
*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. Charlotte Elizabeth - I'm not buying anything monogrammed until I see her first though just in case!
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? They noticed what appears to be a blood clot attached to one of the leads of my pacemaker during my third trimester echo last week. I have a follow up appointment with my cardiologist this afternoon, so a little anxious to hear what this may mean for the remainder of the pregnancy.
The mass exodus these past few weeks has made me so so happy! My heart is heavy for those of you that came back too soon, but I'm praying harder than ever that you will get to head out of here again!
Hi friends!!!!!


*How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)? April 2019-July 2020
*How far along are you? 19 weeks tomorrow
*Which birth month board/due date? March 2021
*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Pink x2!
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. Meh, we have a couple but we may be backtracking on one of them. I think we're tabling it for now.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I can't believe it's November already! Time flies when we've been in our house since March, I guess.
I had my anatomy scan early, and everything looks good, but I have to go back for some additional imaging. I also was given the glucose screen early and barely failed, so now I have to do the 3 hour one this week. I'm pretty sure I should just set up shop at my OB and MFM.
I'm sending everyone here my
, hoping for lots of happy news throughout the holiday season and the new year!

Just taking things day by day. Some days are better than others. I didn't realize just how hard breastfeeding would be, so I've transitioned to mostly EP with some nursing as needed (usually to get her to sleep at night). I can't believe I'm already almost a month PP and that this will be my last check-in! Time flies! I still try to lurk and lovetit here when I have the time while baby girl naps. I loved seeing the recent mass exodus and am cheering everyone on from my couch at home!

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I have been getting a lot of betas done for my HCG and so far my OB is impressed and says my numbers look fabulous and the pregnancy is progressing as normal. Last one I had done this Monday it was at 86,825
