   *How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)? 12/2019-12/2020

  *How far along are you? 22 weeks tomorrow

  *Which birth month board/due date? September (9/11)

  *Team Pink/Blue/Green? Green - which is turning out to be much easier than I had anticipated 

  *How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. Our list is still about 5 for boy and 5 for girl. We got rid of a girl name the other day, and I immediately added another, so I honestly wouldn’t be all too surprised if we end up at the hospital with a list of 10 options lol

  *Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Baby is kicking me all day long, which is still really fun! It likes to be difficult when DH tries to feel and will immediately stop when he puts his hand on my belly. We had our anatomy scan almost 2 weeks ago and everything looks great. The tech said it was one of the most cooperative babies she’s ever scanned, so hopefully that trend continues! I’m finally feeling way less anxious overall now that we are past the halfway point. 

  I’m still lurking here whenever I can and rooting so hard for you all...miss you!!!

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

  *How far along are you? 27 weeks 5 days

  *Which birth month board/due date? August 1st 

  *Team Pink/Blue/Green? Green

  *How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We picked Finley for either a boy or a girl (MH's mother's maiden name).

  *Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share?

   3rd trimester has gotten here so quickly! Things have been mostly good, though I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes 2 weeks ago. That has been a shock and a bit of a stressor. I'm getting used to taking my blood sugar 4 times a day and being really strict about my diet. I will have a growth scan next week, so hopefully everything still looks okay. 
  

  As always, I miss you ladies and continue to lurk and root you all on! All my ❤ to my IF sisters!

  *Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Can't believe this is my last check-in pregnant.  Still constantly in disbelief we made it this far and I am feeling SO ready for this next chapter.  Only one more check-in for me, but still lurking on here more than I really have time to.  Fx for some more grads!

  *Which birth month board/due date? June BMB (private now on FB) June 14th. 

  *Team Pink/Blue/Green? Blue 💙

  *How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. Have a list of 3-4 names to choose from and just waiting till he comes to name him at the hospital and see what he suits/looks like. 

  *Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I cant believe i only have 5 weeks left till this little dude is here. After my 2 previous losses and cervix surgery I cant believe that im going to have a baby soon. Im definitely feeling the 3rd trimester aches and pains but feel soo blessed and lucky to have this rainbow baby make it so far 🥰🌈 He truly is a warrior. I have been having my checkups with the OB every 2 weeks and all looks good so far. HB is normal and strong and my BP is excellent and low even. He's growing like a champ and looks well! Ive had a very boring pregnancy which im thankful for. He's a very active little guy and kicks and punches me constantly at all hours lol Im enjoying all the movements and wiggles 🥰 To all my TTCAL friends, im always rooting for you all  ❤ FX for more grads here to come. Ill be lurking. Stay safe ladies!!

  *How far along are you? 21 weeks

  *Which birth month board/due date? September BMB 9/18

  *Team Pink/Blue/Green? Pink

  *How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We have a short list. Everyone keeps asking her name and I just don't think we are ready or care to make a decision yet. 

  *Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? We had our anatomy scan last week and everything looks good. I am high risk due to IUGR and pre-e with DS so it was nice to see that she is measuring 77th percentile right now. I will continue to have growth u/s every 4 weeks to keep an eye on her. She was being pretty suborn for the u/s tech, kept moving, rolling and flipped from breech to head down half way through the scan. She would not give us a profile shot so the tech was jabbing and shaking my belly to try to get her to move her head. It was pretty aggressive TBH and especially not appreciated after she had just pointed out my full bladder.
