I wish it showed how many times I edited this post 😅. Should be all good to go now. Update away ladies!

How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)? April 2019- November 2020

*How far along are you? 23 weeks

*Which birth month board/due date? Due Aug 1st

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Team 💚

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. I've mentioned this before, but we have a unisex name picked out that will honor MH's maternal grandfather.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Anatomy scan was a little less than 3 weeks ago and everything looked good. I have my gestational diabetes test in about 3 weeks. It's finally feeling real, and I feel more connected to this pregnancy each week. I was afraid it wouldn't happen, but having normal test results and finally feeling movement are what I needed to let me truly believe in this baby.

I love you ladies and really miss you. My BMB is just not the same at all, and I am probably not making the move with them to FB when they transition. This is such an amazing community and I am rooting for you all every single day!

How far along are you? 30 weeks today I cant believe it!

Which birth month board/due date? June BMB, June 14th.

Team Pink/Blue/Green? Blue

How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. Have a couple names picked out just waiting for the little man to arrive to decide

Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Man, this pregnancy is flying by so fast. Just 10 more weeks and this little one will be here already. Im so excited to meet to my rainbow baby 🌈 I'm starting to actually allow myself to get excited and fully believe that this baby will actually come this time. 🥰 I have been working on the nursery and am half done. Its coming along. I got some more things to buy to finish it. I had alot of ultrasounds last month and my cervix is still doing amazing. Nice and long and closed and all is healthy in there. yay soo happy! Baby is doing great. Growing well. Last Ultrasound he was aprox 2lbs 12 oz. I have another ultrasound on April 19th coming up again so we will see how much he weighs by then. I had my glucose test a few weeks ago and passed with flying colors. Yay! No gestational diabetes for this girl 😊 All is going super smoothly so far. Miss all you ladies lots and think of you often. Hoping all of you are healthy and safe. Looking forward to seeing some more grads this year. ❤❤

@misshelen86 yay! Congratulations 👏

*How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)? Dec 2019-Dec2020

*How far along are you? 17w2d

*Which birth month board/due date? September (Sept 11)

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Green

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We have made little to no progress in the past month, but have also decided that we will likely go to the hospital with a couple options and choose once we meet our little one. Just have to narrow the list down now from 8-10 of each to just 2-3 haha!

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? My anatomy scan is at the end of April, and it will be the first US that DH will be able to come to. He is so so excited! I’ve just started feeling some tiny movements in the past week or so, and I finally announced at work. Both of those things are making this feel so much more real.

I miss you all and am still lurking here often. Keeping my fingers crossed for all of you!!

krash_ · April 2021

*How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)? April '20 - Jan '21 with a brief hiatus

*How far along are you? 16+2

*Which birth month board/due date? Sept 21 9/18

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Pink! Found out with NIPT a couple weeks ago and it is so weird knowing since we were Team Green with DS

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We spent basically our entire date night last Friday (our only one since last September) talking about names and I'm not sold on any of them. MH is really picky but I also don't really like any of the names he comes up with so.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? We haven't announced on SM yet idk if it's just second kid problems or because I know how it feels when you're struggling to see all the announcements online but I'm also in the anxiety stage of second tri where most of my first tri symptoms are gone and I'm not feeling movement yet so I keep thinking the worst. I think we're going to announce after my 16wk appointment on Thursday this week.

I stalk the heck out of TTGP and FX for the next mass exodus soon! @shoogapoff is right, BMB's just aren't the same as TTGP!

ramzlau · April 2021

*How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)? Oct 2019- Oct 2020

*How far along are you? 30 weeks and some change

*Which birth month board/due date? 6/11, June but we just made the move to FB

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? blue

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We have a name! It is Jude.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Was diagnosed with GD a few weeks ago, so lots of appointments and growth scans. I enjoy seeing him every few weeks and watching him grow. Can’t believe he will be here in just 6-8 weeks, since we will most likely induce with the GD. The to-do list is still long, but getting to a comfortable stage of things being “good enough” state. And got my covid vaccine!

Congrats @misshelen86! I hope you are the first of a mass exodus to BMBs here! Lurking here occasionally and cheering for so many of you IF ladies.

How far along are you? 29+3

Which birth month board/due date? Due 6/26, C-section on 6/3, June BMB just made the jump to Facebook

Team Pink/Blue/Green? Pink

How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We have officially decided on a name but aren't sharing her full name until she's here!

Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? My progesterone injections have, so far, kept me pregnant. Every week I make it is another blessing. School has been keeping me running on fumes, and my faculty mentor and I have submitted three research presentation proposals to two different conferences in the last month. It's also the ACA virtual conference this month, so I have continuing education on top of my school work on top of prepping the house. All in all, I'm so grateful for all of the opportunities this last year has afforded me. Thinking of everyone here and sending lots of love!!

Hi friends! I’m sorry this is so late, but getting time on my laptop is all but impossible these days.

I’m thrilled to announce that at 1:16 and 1:18am on March 11, Molly Catherine and Jenna Christine were born! We went in for an induction on March 9th at 8pm, and after 26 hours of labor (and a foley balloon, pitocin, and a water breaking) we finally decided our best option was a c-section at midnight on the 11th. My OB told me that Baby A (Molly) was too far to the left side of my pelvis, so she wasn’t even at the top of my cervix and that’s why I stalled out at 5cm!

I had a great physical recovery from the c-section, but unfortunately I had some postnatal blood pressure issues. My labs came back with indicators of HELLP syndrome several days after birth, and we spent almost a week in the hospital. We’re all ok, and home safely, and I’m now weaned off all of the blood pressure meds, and we’re so grateful for my excellent OB care.

These girls are truly a dream, and I am so so grateful that I get to be their mama. I’m so so lucky, and I am spending every moment possible soaking it all in.

I’m so sad that this is my last TTGP check-in, this place has been incredibly special to me. Please know I’m always around, and rooting for everyone. I hope to see more and more graduations soon!!! I’m sending everyone all of the good thoughts for lots of good news! ❤️

asf0613 · April 2021

@mvt2003 congratulations on your beautiful bebes! Glad to hear everyone is home and healthy now

acleverusername · April 2021

@mvt2003 I was anxiously awaiting your update and it was worth it! Congrats! Hopefully no more hiccups here on out. Enjoy every moment with your girls!!!

mindyb2019 · April 2021

@mvt2003 yay! Congratulations to you and your girls. So happy for you and glad your doing ok ❤ Your girls were born on my brother's wedding anniversary lol 😊 Enjoy all those baby snuggles.

fitzfizz · April 2021

Hello friends! I’m super late with this, but I’ve been having a lot of difficulty with anxiety and find myself avoiding pregnancy related things to cope. I’m trying to be better!

*How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)? Dec 2019-Feb 2020, June 2020-Feb 2021

*How far along are you? 16 weeks today

*Which birth month board/due date? October 5th

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Team blue! Found out via CVS testing a few weeks ago

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. Eh, we have started on a vague list, but that is about it.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? PGAL has been really difficult for me. I’m having a lot of trouble accepting that this might actually be OK. I feel like I’m just constantly waiting for the other shoe to drop. I’m trying to be hopeful that once we get past the point of my last loss that I will start feeling better. On a more positive note, all of the testing has come back normal! Genetic testing was all good, so now we are just waiting on a few more ultrasounds and hoping for the best. I miss you all!

@fitzfizz Congratulations!! Wishing you good, healthy, uneventful vibes.

fameonmain2 · April 2021

@fitzfizz so happy to read this update! Sending so many hugs your way

misshelen86 · April 2021

Hi ladies! Sorry I’m so late to the party. I was having pretty bad PAIF anxiety and my trauma brain had convinced me something was wrong, so I was nervous updating here. I don’t think I’ll stop worrying until there’s a baby in my arms!

*How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)? Oct 2018-Dec 2020

*How far along are you? 7 weeks!

*Which birth month board/due date? Dec 2021

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Green.. we have the option to find out the sex any time since we did PGT, but we haven’t decided yet

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We haven’t talked much about names yet.. this still doesn’t feel real!

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Had my 7 week ultrasound today and everything is looking good.. baby is measuring 1 day ahead. Hearing the heartbeat was amazing and something I never thought I would get to experience. I’m trying to enjoy these moments and just take it one day at a time.

I hope to see more grads soon. I’ll be lurking over on the IF thread until the day I don’t recognize any names. You are an amazing group of women and I could not have gotten through this without you! Sending so much love and strength to you all! ❤️
