*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We have both boy and girl contenders
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Still feeling good and mostly in disbelief about how fortunate I am to be here. Big lurker here and rooting for everyone, hoping for more BFPs to celebrate soon!!
*How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)? January - April 2021
*How far along are you? 31w5d
*Which birth month board/due date? January 5
*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Pink
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. Well, I'm not going to share it because it isn't 100%, but we just can't think of a backup name to our first choice, and we even came up with a middle name last night, so it's looking more and more likely that we probably have a name picked out.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I finally get to start organizing the nursery since we moved the little guy in with his big brother this past weekend. I think she's starting to move into position, because I keep getting these rapid jabs in my ribs, and I can't imagine that's a head up there. I still lurk here and am rooting so hard for everyone to get the heck off this board!

Anything else exciting to share? having our baby shower next month, still can't believe this is all happening. because of supply chain her crib is STILL on backorder (it was ordered in August ffs) which is more frustrating than I care to admit. physically I won't lie I feel kinda neutral or unpleasant most days but emotionally/mentally I am over the moon. her furry siblings can't wait to meet her.

I worked some crazy hours in October and now that I’m on a more normal schedule, (only 2 more weeks of work!) we have been busy getting all the last minute things ready.. as well as getting ready for Christmas! I’m feeling great and can’t wait to meet this little one! I am measuring on the small side but my dr doesn’t seem worried.. at this point, she just wants to watch it.
I haven’t lurked on here in a while but I’m SO excited there have seen a couple grads recently and can’t wait to see more. Always rooting for you ladies

*How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)? July ‘21 - Oct ‘21
*How far along are you? 7w4d
*Which birth month board/due date? June 25th
*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Currently team green but we also haven’t had our resolve on that tested yet lol. If we do choose to find out, we won’t be sharing it.
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. Started the name discussion last night. The bigger debate will be last name since I kept my maiden name. DH has tentatively agreed to using my last name since neither of us are a fan of hyphenation.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Ultrasound last week went well, so that was good news. I’ve been fortunate to not have too bad of symptoms so far, just lots of general discomfort and nausea. My biggest concern is mental health since I’m prone to anxiety and depression, but I’m having lots of open and honest conversations with DH to keep in check.
I miss everyone and lurk often! FX I’ll see you in a BMB soon!

*How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)? December ‘20-March ‘21
*How far along are you? 36w3d
*Which birth month board/due date? December 2021
*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Pink
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We haven’t *officially* decided/announced yet ☺️
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? It has been a crazy ride this pregnancy. Hoping and praying for an uneventful delivery, but ultimately what is most important is that she is ready and healthy! Waiting patiently as it feels like any day now, but hoping we can make it a couple of more weeks at least.
It’s so exciting to see some new grad names listed. Rooting for everyone! ❤️
*How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)? December '20-May '21
*How far along are you? 30w6d
*Which birth month board/due date? Due January 15
*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Pink
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We have one! DH and I are now debating on a Hebrew name, as we are stuck between two and we each prefer a different one.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I need to organize our disaster room of a nursery, even though we intend to have LO in her bassinet in our room for as long as possible. Her dresser is being delivered today, so once that's in there I can actually start organizing and washing her clothes, etc. My stroller and carseat are currently in limbo due to supply chain issues, and I am HOPING they will be here by mid-December but I fear that's cutting it super close.
I had a growth scan at 29 weeks due to measuring big, and we found that baby girl is in the 84th percentile, so I have another one scheduled for after Thanksgiving to see where we are. I hope we'll have more of an idea of a birth plan after that scan - my feeling is they may want to schedule an induction or c-section.
I still lurk here and I pray for everyone to migrate to a BMB soon!
*How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)? june 2019- may 2021
*How far along are you? 28w2d
*Which birth month board/due date? February 4th, but will have a c-section at the end of January!
*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Blue!
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We have a first name that we both really like. Were not 100% set, but most likely. We just need to find a good middle name. Dh and I really like to stew on things before deciding. 😅But it is a unique S name.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? So excited to finally be at this point. After secondary infertility, loss and just trying so hard for so long it still feels surreal. Like I have a whole room of stuff and it doesn't feel quite real. Trying to soak in the last couple of months with our family of three. And im continually rooting for everyone to get their THB! 💕
Finally getting around to telling people outside of immediate family after good NIPT results (work is still TBD, even though I'm sure some people can tell 🙈). PGAL brain is tough to deal with and has made me want to keep everything super private as long as possible.
In more positive news, thankfully no supply chain issues like others are seeing for this guy's nursery since he's moving into DD's room...just need to change out a few things and then the big work comes with moving DD to a new room!
Still lurking and rooting for you guys, and hope to see more BFPs soon!
