*~*~*GRAD Check-in*~*~*

[JulietRose]

Good Morning Ladies!

Haven't seen this started yet. Let's see those bumps and babies!

[daisycat]

I'm actually here today! I'm back to work now (booo), so I never have time to play here anymore.

Charlie is 11 months old now and doing awesome. He's babbling up a storm and thisclose to walking (He's been close for weeks but won't quite do it). H was able to take some time off work so he's with him during the day until C starts daycare in March, so that's a nice buffer. I loathe being a working mum but it is what it is.

No picture, I can't figure it out on mobile.

Hi ladies! I have a (almost) nine month old. How did that happen?! DS is into crawling and cruising around the house like a maniac these days. He's hilarious and always laughing. He's not too interested in food or sleep, but we will keep him.

[notelsie]

Good Morning!

I make 17 weeks tomorrow, and we found out last Friday that:



We are so excited to meet B in August!

I'm looking forward to seeing more grad updates, and I'm always rooting for my GKU ladies

((HUGS)) I felt this way at first, but found I really enjoy aspects of it. My LO loves daycare and has lots of friends. They do so many projects and sensory play that I would never have thought of.  I cried every day for a month thinking I was the worst mother, but seriously it gets easier and my LO gets so excited when we pull up to daycare and we love and trust the teachers. It'll be ok.

Hi GKU!! I am 14w5d. Things are going well, I'm feeling good. I have a little bit of a bump that is starting to appear but I am still not ready to share! We find out the sex on Monday! I am so freaking excited for that. I can't believe we are at this stage, I am honestly so thankful each day. Lots of love to you all.

[sully326]

Baby girl is measuring two weeks ahead and my bladder is her play toy. I'm surprised I don't constantly pee myself. I'm also SUPER achy every night which it different for me because I didn't feel like this until 34+w with DS.....other than that, things are going great!

Took this yesterday at 23w3d.

[risscaboobs]

Just here to see cute babies and bumps and pass out love tits!!

[soyloca]

Hi ladies!! My first GBCB check-in. I'm 13 weeks and everything is going well. No bump yet but here's my sweet babe from last weeks NT Scan. Rooting for you all as always!!

[wolfette]

Hello ladies!

T is two months old. She's super smiley, babbles all the time, and is such an easy baby. Her favorite thing lately is her Cloud b Twilight Turtle, she loves staring at the stars on the ceiling. We'll find out her weight and length at her 2 month appointment on Saturday, but over the weekend we moved her up into 0-3 month clothes.

Here's her two month picture and a comparison to one month

[brennaz]

I'm sitting here at 24.1! I am so relieved that have made it to v-day!! I'm celebrating with a tiramisu latte, which, by the way, is amazing and in my world has no calories, so I recommend indulging

The Little Miss moves all.the.time. and I love it. I got my first painful kick to the ribs yesterday, I'm both worried and proud of how strong this little nugget is!

We are going to a perinatologist to check on my cervix and go over my pregnancy history (a bit late, IMO, but whatever...) since the OB at my last appointment is a little concerned about the strength of the contractions/braxton hicks that I've been feeling for a few weeks. Apparently I was supposed to have done a consultation with the other office in first tri, but no one noticed my pregnancy history until my last appointment. I'm a tad annoyed at that, but it does mean that I'm getting an extra ultrasound at the appointment, so hey

Might add a new bump photo later, haven't taken one in a week or so

[queenofcats]

Hai, TTGP!

I'm 20w6d and feeling great! Weaning off the Diclegis is going really well, almost too well as I want to eat all the things. I have a constant hankering for sweets, cereal and spinach/artichoke dip so I'm trying to be really careful watching my weight gain.
We got our Panorama results back and she's low risk! This is great news! She's also still a girl in case we had any doubt in our minds, which there really wasn't as we had a pretty clear anatomy scan shot. Anyway, we still have an appointment with the MFM tomorrow for a level 2 ultrasound just to double check on the cyst and to clear us from any worry. I'm not too worried about it, although I am looking forward to seeing her again.
She's been kicking away like crazy and I felt my first outside kick this morning! She's got strong little legs and I'm anticipating a very active baby. I have a feeling she's going to be running us around in circles .
My boobs are growing again which kind of sucks as I didn't start off a small chested girl. I guess my boob growth hormone is just crazy active, but it does not bode well for my back as third tri approaches. I told DH that means I need more massages, he's tired of doing them so I think I may have to have more at the spa. Oh Darn.

I'm always lurking and rooting for all of you! Much love to TTGP!

Here's my bump from this week. I'm starting to pop more and more and it's impossible to hide at this point. I've been getting more comments and stares.

[queenofcats]

brennaz, I had a tiramisu latte this morning and they are the best thing ever! Congrats on V-Day!

[helloerrbody]

Keep the bumps and babes acomin'! This is making my day today! Lovetits for everyone!!

[mrsrexmanning]

Hi Friends!
32w4d here, and today I'm feeling like I'm ready for April. Sleeping sucks this week, my pelvis is falling apart and every night between 9pm and 1am I get some real deal contractions to keep me on edge and uncomfortable. Blah.
On the bright side, I'm down to counting weeks in single digits, the nursery should be finished by the end of this weekend and my pre-baby to do list is dwindling. Come on springtime.
Now if it would just stop fucking snowing.

I miss you all. I'm here lurking often and cheering you on.

Also... I'd like to page @crazycornball to this thread because word on the street is she has an outside baby now!

[3houlagirl]

Oooh, I get to play!

I am 5 weeks today, and have a gross bloat-baby and that's about it. I am mildly surprised that I'm still pregnant, since I only made it to 4w3d last go around. I also have to pee CONSTANTLY, and it's getting old. My first appointment is next week, but my first ultrasound isn't until the end of March; I will be anxious and doubtful until then, I suppose. Keep your fingers crossed that this pumpkin keeps growing!

I've been lurking the hell out of y'all, and am rooting for everyone!

I'm here to lovetit and enjoy the picture of your babies, bumps, US, and everything else. Keep them coming.

I'm 10 weeks as of today! Yay for double digits!! I thought my nausea was going away but this week it came back : ( It's not bad by any means but it just makes me feel like I'm hungover and I don't want to do anything. Besides that my boobs are huge and painful and my bloat is out of control.

My NT scan is in 2 weeks and I'm so excited for it to get here. Our first ultrasound was 3 weeks ago and I feel like it has been ages. Luckily we will get this NT Scan and then go in a week later to go over results and do another ultrasound shortly after that.

[tigger]

Hi! Em is a cranky butt the last few days but has been babbling dadadada over and over. Loves to sit and play but still topples, and loves for us to help her stand. I still cant believe she is 5 months!
Now i cant do a pic because it won't let me log into whatever.

Hi peoples!

I'm 12 weeks today. We had our second ultrasound last Wednesday and everything went well!

He/she is growing like a weed! At our first appointment, I should have been 7w1d based on my O date. I measured 6w6d and my midwife wasn't concerned because their measurements can be off by up to 4 days that early. Last week, our baby measured exactly on track with my O date at 11w1d!

I have an anterior placenta so it may take longer to find the heartbeat on the doppler. I won't show very early, and I likely won't feel movement for a good while. I'm a little disappointed about that but I'll get over it.

Our baby wasn't moving around very much at first so our tech made me turn my head and cough really hard a few times. Then she pressed really hard with the wand and the jumping around and kicking started! It was so precious!

She also said at this stage they can make guesses about the sex of the baby by looking at the "angle of the dangle." She said girls can look a lot like boys because they're pretty swollen down there but if the dangle is straight and in line with the spine that it's typically a girl and if it's pointed down or curved that it's usually a boy. So she guessed girl based on our baby's "dangle" - we had the Harmony test done and they said we'll know the results in two weeks. She did some measurements of the back of the baby's neck and looked for a nasal bone and said all of that looked normal so FX that our Harmony results are great as well!

I didn't feel anything until 21w w/ my anterior placenta. At my A/S my LO was kicking like crazy, but I couldn't feel a thing, so don't worry if you don't feel anything for awhile.

[icequeen]

Yay, my favorite day of the week! I'm glad I can see everyone check in on here instead of hunting you down on the BMB's. JK! Lovetits galore!

My kid is almost two. (WTAF?!) I don't have much to say because I'm too tired but he's awesome and my favorite person. We are planning his birthday at Chuck E. Cheese's. (I heard it's a real cool place to be a kid. It's also cheap as fuck.) Here he is:

I second what Unknown, said. I had an anterior with my son and it was about 21/22 weeks before I felt anything.

[scrappylika]

Heyy!! A is doing great. She has been having a little tummy issues with gas, but the gas drops seem to be helping. She is so alert and I love that we can somewhat communicate now. It's awesome that she can really notice me and smile back. If you could see what I do to make her smile, I would likely get judged, haha! We've really been working on getting her to sleep in the crib. She usually sleeps in her room for a good 6-7 hours before waking..so it's a great start. Here's a picture of my beautiful rainbow baby:



As always, rooting for all of you!!
