Hey! The girls are 6 days old and perfect. We had some weight loss issues in the hospital but they've started to gain back weight and sleeping like champs. Most days I spend my free time like this.
DD and DS adore them.
My BFF did a newborn shoot for them this morning and just sent me this unedited pic and I'm so excited to see the rest.

Sam is 8 months today. He is a happy kid but absolutely HATES to sleep. Ugh. He is close to crawling, loves food, his dog and being held. He babbles all day long and despite his lack of crawling- he rolls and scoots to get into everything.

30w1d. I'm a lazy ass and it's hot here so I haven't taken a new picture this week. So here's last weeks pic! Things are going good. Had an appt today and got my TdAP shot so now my arm is sore :/
I guess I go here now. 4w6d, and not a lot to report. I managed to gain about 5 lbs on vacation so I have an awesome stomach flab that I'm self conscious about. Something tells I'll be showing earlier this pregnancy than last. Dealing with some nausea, some fatigue. I'm sure it's all just beginning, though. We told all the in-laws right after we found out and they are all so excited for us. It was awesome to be able to tell them in person (they live 5 states away) even if it was a bit on the early side.
My first appointment won't be until the middle of August, and that seems forever away.
You are like two minutes pregnant and already complaining? Great.
I forgot it was Tuesday!! I'm glad I decided to lurk GKU tonight. Love all the updates ladies!
AFM, I'm 21w3d today. I haven't updated in a few weeks because there haven't been many changes. My A/S was a couple weeks ago and went well. We're still Team Green, though I will say it was much harder to NOT peek this time around. I'm glad we stayed strong though. My RCS has been scheduled for 10/24 (39w2d), which feels so strange. I still feel really good; some minor low back pain at times is all.
Still lurking the TWW threads and crossing everything for you ladies. Much love.

Hi GKU! I sorta slipped away into the night after getting a BFP since I had been a really bad, inactive poster for a couple of months prior. IF was really getting to me at the time and I had retreated into a sad place.
But anyway, I have missed you guys and since it has actually been a pretty crazy couple of weeks I thought I would AW my squish. I am 13w2d at this point. I (we?) was hit by a car two weeks ago and sprained my ankle, bonked my head on the asphalt, and was obviously terrified that something would have happened to the babe. The hospital trauma unit wouldn't CT scan my head to check for a concussion because of the radiation risk to baby, so I spent the night there for observation and got a precautionary ultrasound the following morning.
The good news is that everything looked fine - we heard a good strong heartbeat and saw someone waving his or her little arms and legs around like crazy. I am finally able to walk a little bit again now that my ankle is healing up, and all in all it seems like I was very lucky even though I had an involuntary jousting match with an SUV. Here is the "baby is okay!" ultrasound - check out the awesome anonymous trauma patient name I was assigned when the ambulance driver called in to tell them we were coming!
Always lurking and hoping for good news for you ladies!

Lexi is over 7 months now, which is crazy to me. She's got a double ear infection right now, which sucks, but she's hanging in there. She loves to sit up, baths, standing, and is working on crawling.
I haven't been around as much lately. Work is crazy busy, and that's the time of day it's easiest to probe, but I hope things slow down after fiscal year end. Miss you all and lurk like crazy when possible!

Pretty sure almost everyone complains about pregnancy in this thread. It's the grad thread, she's allowed to talk about pregnancy, as glamorous or painful as it may be. It's not like she's complaining on a randoms thread or somewhere else on the board.

I read it as a little bit of sarcastic teasing...not actually intended to be a harsh call out? Now I'm confused.
I read it as a bit harsh, but I'm a sensitive Sally the last few days so I was just staying out of it.

I think in Wildflower's case, she may have rubbed people the wrong way. She was TTC for one cycle, did some complaining about how annoying it was to have sex during her FW, then she tested at like 8 DPO. I don't go here anymore, so I don't know all the details, but I think that's the gist of it.
FWIW, all BFPs should be celebrated and I wish we were all as lucky to GKU on cycle 1. However, I do think that posting in the Grad thread implies that you actually graduated from something. Like, you made a contribution to the community. If you are here for 1 cycle was a person even around long enough to make a contribution?
Not trying to speak for onesweetworld, but I think her comment was about wildflower810's history of complaining, rather than her specific comment in this thread. That's how I took it, anyway.
TTC #1 since August 2013 DX: Endo November 2014: Hysteroscopy, D&C June - September 2015: Clomid + Novarel + IUI #1-3 January 2017: Laparoscopy - endo removed

I thought the point f the grad thread being a safe zone was that they can complain all they want and it's NBD. It's not fairs to say it's a safe zone and then criticism comes from someone complaining.
I agree that the grad thread is a "safe zone" in that people can AW their baby, bellies, current ailments, etc.
That doesn't mean everyone in the community immediately starts to know you, like you, or care about how you're doing.

I'm inclined to agree. Even if some people eat crackers for other people. I feel like when "complaining" came up before, it was in regular threads, and I agree that it's messed up to hang out in the general GKU area and have pregnancy complaints. I am struggling a lot in my own life and really have no empathy most of the time for the hard symptoms of being pregnant (being honest), but I get that this thread is not a place to go when those feelings are overwhelming for me.
FWIW, Wildflower hung out on here for a few months before starting TTC, too. Just to say that she isn't exactly a drive-by.
I feel like we don't have to like everybody, but I feel like if someone is recognizable and not going on a complaining spree throughout the whole board, what's the harm in posting here and mentioning the same things that beloved grads mention all the time like feeling sick or miserable?
I like all of you guys on both sides of this question and get why people feel one way or the other, just trying to be fair.
I don't feel that only certain people can post in this thread (give me all the baby pics). But I don't think it's quite right to say some sort of safe space has been violated just because some people expressed annoyance. She's just as free to say "screw you, I'll say what I want" as they are to be rubbed wrong by their experiences with her on the board.
