  *How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)? About 6 months, October '22 through April '23.

  *How far along are you? 26w1d

  *Which birth month board/due date? Due December 9

  *Team Pink/Blue/Green? Team Pink

  *How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. Started ordering a couple of personalized things (announcement outfit/nursery decor) so we're locked in now! Keeping it to ourselves until she's here though.

  *Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I'm shocked at how fast it's going and I know that as we get into all the 'ber months it's only going to go faster!  Starting to feel totally unprepared and overwhelmed, but I know that some of the decorating/preparing will happen after our baby shower.

  Hope everyone here is doing well!

  I can’t believe it’s my last check in!

  How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)? June 2019-December 2022

  How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. Jamie Ryan💙

  Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? My rainbow baby is finally here and he is absolutely perfect! 🌈🌈 I started meds for induction around 10pm on the 23rd (started with cytotec because I was barely dilated) and had my sweet baby boy in my arms by 6:20pm on the 24th. Labor and delivery went smoothly and the nurses took such great care of us. I ended up being the only patient on the floor so I got their full attention which was cool. We’re settling in nicely though and I’m so beyond happy to finally have my THB in my arms. I’m incredibly grateful to this group for being so supportive and helpful for the 3.5 years I was here. I learned so much from all of you and have made some friendships and connections that mean so much to me. I’ll likely still be lurking and will continue to root for you all to get your THBs soon!

  *How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. same sitch as last month, i think we are good - didn't realize MH didn't want to tell ppl and i've let the two names slip a few times, whoopsie! i mean i feel like give the ppl something considering we are surprise gender ppl. 

  *Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? so so so many contractions, but just chilling the last two weeks at 1cm and 50% effaced. which is exactly how i was was DD all the way through my due date. i went to 41w with but had a lovely delivery for a FTM so i've made it known to the universe that i am ok with going over for a speedy and easy delivery again. we also have concert tickets 9/7 and 9/14 lol (and 9/30 and 10/7). the finishing touches are coming along on the monster house project (i'll spoiler a photo of the pretty part, nobody needs to see back in july when two of my exterior walls were torn down and rebuilt!) - just some touch up paint, putting the lights in, and the hardware on the built in, i love it, it turned out gorgeously. i can't wait to fill the shelves with my books, photo frames and things. i've got some just other general house decor items coming, i haven't changed any of our main level decor in over 5 years so it felt fun to give this room a little zhush with new art and pillows for the sofa. baby clothes are washed, and DD's closet and dresser have been reorg'ed to integrate baby stuff - she took to it really well. snoo is set up in our room, diaper cart is 75% organized. i need to place an amazon order for last bits, and i need to sanitize pump/bottles/pacifiers. was pleased that both my elcie and spectra charged right back up after being stored for 2.5 years. generally, in a good place - both antsy to meet baby and not in a rush either!

  I can’t believe I’m so close! My scheduled c/s is 13-09 so I have 5 days left of being pregnant or less. That’s surreal. 

  Our bassinet had a total screw up so we have yet to have a bed for a baby but i panic ordered yesterday and it should be delivered tomorrow. 🤞🏽 I still haven’t finished my hospital bag but I think it’s an in the moment thing at this point.

  My mom arrives on Saturday morning with some baby stuff I ordered and she’s our childcare for the baby birth so everything feels like it’s falling into place.
