Grad checkin!

[cateyes]

This hasn't been started yet??? Where are the grads???

Let's see those bumps and babies! How are you ladies doing??? 

[3houlagirl]

Whoa, am I first?

I'm 9 weeks today, and have my first u/s TOMORROW! After my CP in January I am just super anxious to see a live seahorse in there.

In other news I started to use the hairtie trick to keep my pants closed today; I am disgusting.

I love you all, and stalk you regularly

[ldubhawksfan]

I'm going to jump in, because I never had the courage to last pregnancy.

It's still so early and I'm so nervous, but I'm 5 weeks today. I had my first US with my RE yesterday and saw just one little black dot, so that was a bit of a relief! Now I just pray to see progress with my weekly visits. I'm feeling fine other than being exhausted though.


FX for all you ladies. I still hand out LTs over here like it's my job!

[MrsC0617]

Hey GKU!

I am 9w1d today. I had my first successful u/s last Thursday. There is a tiny baby in there! Tech said there was a nice strong heartbeat too. DH and I were very much relieved and thrilled. I also got some bloodwork done on Thursday and had to do the 1 hour glucose test. I get to do that early because I'm fat... Yay. Still waiting to hear the results of all of that. I have my first appointment with my dr this Thursday. Hoping all will be well with that.

Still lurking and LT'ing like crazy and have everything crossed for the wonderful ladies on here. Take care of yourselves!!

[TrickyJedi]

Heyyyyyy! 13 weeks and 1 day. Finally feeling like myself again. I have the little beginnings of a bump and I love it.
We went and had our generic screen blood work and scan done last week and everything just came back as perfect! Such a huge relief. Here is one of the images of our beautiful nugget from the scan.
Still stalking and rooting for BFPs!!!

[fallbaby11]

Hello! I am 8 weeks 2 days today. We saw the baby on an u/s last week and everything looked great! I have a regular apt with a nurse on Thursday and then don't go again until April 22nd. Looking forward to hearing the heart beat at the 12 week appt.

[helloerrbody]

Yay grads! And remember, you don't have to stalk anymore! Come back and join us!

[ldubhawksfan]

Thanks @nolagal!!! Where's a pic of your outside baby?!!!

[superchargedmama]

Hi GKU!!!! I'm 10 weeks 4 days! We saw baby on St Patrick's day and it is the cutest little leprechaun ever!

[ventotheessa]

Hai everyone!!

I'll be 16 weeks tomorrow, and I am finally feeling much better! Won't have another appointment until April 7th and hopefully then I'll get my results for the Materna21 blood work.

We are leaving for our "babymoon" on Sunday, off to Vegas we go! I am super excited!

Love seeing all the BFP's lately & can't wait to see more soon!!

[minionkeeper]

Been too nervous to jump on here. I haven't brought myself to take a pic of me yet. I am 15w4d and sometimes lucky enough to feel movement if I lie still. M/s is dying down to only the evenings which is great!! Next appt is on the 6th when we will finally get to schedule the anatomy scan. YAY!!
Happy to see so many bfp lately and hoping for more!

[mynameiscarrie]

Hey guise!

I'm 6 weeks today and have my first u/s tomorrow! I'm kind of shocked that my OB scheduled one this early since it's my first pregnancy, but I'm not complaining! I don't have any sort of bump unless bloat counts. Nausea kicked in over the weekend and it's off and on all day, worse when I wake up and right before I go to bed. Other than that and being tired, I'm feeling good!

I lurk on GKU daily and I have everything crossed for all of you! I hope everyone get's their BFP's soon! ::heart::

[mrsrexmanning]

Hey ladies!
Not much to report today - 36w4d and just counting the days. My maternity winter coat doesn't come within a mile of buttoning these days, and this morning it was 11degrees when I woke up. Hopefully spring arrives soon, I'm cold!

Other than that I just want to say thanks for the welcome back to the board for the pregnants. I have a bunch of favorites here.

[andtheheartbreakers]

Hey hey hey!!

I am 14 weeks 2 days and in second trimester!!!!! It's such a strange time though because there is a small bump, but not huge and I feel nothing in terms of movement so it basically doesn't even feel like I'm pregnant. Except for the all day nausea/vomiting that is still hanging around. My OB said it would peak at 14 weeks so here's hoping it's on its way out! I would really really like to enjoy a meal sometime soon again. We have another appointment on Friday so I'm really looking forward to hearing that HB again and getting that reassurance that our little Sapling is still in there growing away!

Other than that we did the second coat of paint in the nursery, and went to La-Z-Boy this weekend and picked out which chair we're going to put in the nursery. I told MH I wanted a glider for in there and he surprised me by taking me to La-Z-Boy to pick a recliner instead!! We also bought a new bed that has an adjustable base, so you can put it in a sitting position (like a fancy hospital bed) so that should make night time breast feeding easier for me!

[tigger]

Hai!
Little E is 6 months and soooo much fun. She is happy most of the time and loves blowing raspberries. We started real food and she lllloooooovvveeesss to eat.
She was 96% for height at her 6 month appt (27.5inches) and 16lbs 11oz (60%) she is a tall girl!
She has her first cold a lovely upper respiratory infection. Gross!

Love all the updates

Sadly, I don't post pics of my childrens on the interwebz. Otherwise, I would be posting all the pictures by now! My H is REALLY paranoid about web safety. but I assure you she is very cute and Verra much a peanut!

I understand! I don't even post pics on here of my fur baby. I'm sure she is adorable!!

[katietopaz]

Hey GKU! Love seeing all the updates here, it's crazy to see the grads who are in earlier weeks and think, that was me a few months ago...and where is the time going?!

31w3d here, battling a nasty cold/cough bug so I'm a mess. But in the past week, our La-Z-Boy rocker/recliner AND our dresser came in!! The nursery is slowly coming together, now I feel like I can unpack everything from the showers a couple weeks ago and start getting organized.

We have a Newborn Baby Care class tonight where hopefully I'll learn how not to mess up my baby. Or more practically, how to change a diaper, because I'm embarrassed to say I never have before. Derp.

Here's a bump pic from a few days ago. Baby Connor is super active and definitely bumping out!

[southernpeach89]

Hellloooo 2nd trimester!!! I'm 14 weeks today and I've been feeling great this week! I haven't had nausea in almost a week so I'm happy about that. I have been getting lots of round ligament pain though especially this week. I'm seeing my OB next Monday to go over my NT scan results from a couple weeks ago. I'm hoping we receive some good results from that and plus I have a million questions to ask her so I'm anxiously awaiting the next appt.

Oh and Baby Peach has decided to make a small appearance this weekend:

[queenofcats]

Hey, GKU!

I'm 24w6d today and so excited to be past viability. There's not much new in my world. Just the same old off and on RLP and she's been moving like crazy! My next appointment is next week for the GD test! Woohoo! I'm also getting excited to almost be at 3rd tri!

We've made like no nursery progress this week, but we do have showers planned out in May so I'm sure we will get to everything by then. I did order some bookends, but they came broken. Luckily the amazon seller is going to send me some replacement ones for free.

As always I'm here and lurking around! I don't post much because I've been crazy busy, but much love to you all and know I'm always watching...

Bumpity bump, lol this is a maternity shirt. It's totally not going to fit me in 2 weeks:

[dorothyzbornak97]

Hai, does anyone here even know who I am anymore?!

I've been MIA for a while because work has been CRAY. Lots of travel, lots of deadlines, no time for fun on the interwebs. But, I've finally hit a lull, so I thought I'd check in.

Alex will be 25 weeks on Friday, six months a week from Friday. I cannot believe how fast time has flown. He's trying to crawl, testing out solids (carrots and sweet potatoes are a win, so far)and currently learning to sleep in his crib. He's amazing and adorable and I love every minute with him!

Here's a pic of him working on his crawling skills. He gets to this point, but hasn't figured out the forward motion part yet.



Congrats to all the new BFPs (and those I've missed) and I'm always rooting for more!

I still remember you!!!!

[chad5285]

Hello!!!

I'll be 15 weeks on Thursday and I sort of feel like a normal human being again. We found out we're having a girl and we're naming her Georgia! (I'm having deja vu so if I already said this just roll your eyes and love tit it anyway) Here's a shot of me in my work bathroom in a skirt that I should not have worn. As the mirror sign says, make sure you practice proper hand washing techniques!

I'm loving all the BFPs lately and I can't wait to see more!!



ETA: Top of the page!

[queenofcats]

I remember you, dorothyzbornak97.

[flippinchica]

Hi GKU! I am 20 weeks today. Half Baked! We had our anatomy scan last Thursday and our little guy looked great and was 10oz! Here is a pic.

[brennaz]

Hey GKU!!

I'm hanging out at 28 weeks, third tri has come with a bang...I'm exhausted, sore, and, oh...already contracting and dilating. *sigh* this little girl is going to be dramatic like her brother. It freaked me out quite a bit at first, but we managed to keep DS in there until full term, so I'm going to just be careful and hope we can do it again!

At this point, I'm just counting down to maternity leave and trying really, really hard not to buy anything, as my family has banned me from baby shopping until after my shower next month. First baby in 7 years on the one side, and they are a *tad* excited. DS is going to be the most overprotective big brother ever. Last weekend we were at the mall and he insisted on going to build-a-bear to make a princess bear for the baby for her birth-day (her name is Claire, but he has already nicknamed her Claire Bear). It's the most heartwarming thing ever.

By the way, kudos on how quickly you guys have chased off the crazies, you've had some doozies this week! I'm still lurking and watching for the BFPs!!

[ldubhawksfan]

@moonandback141 thanks sweetie!! I chickened out of doing a GKU bfp thread. I posted in the GKU IF thread, in 3T/IF checkins and on CAR and was feeling pretty damn AWish by that point!

[bibliothecary]

21w3d and I have pictures of skullbaby! People say it's a creepy pic, but I kind of like it.



And an upside down yawn for you. Because I am bad at formatting images.

[ugotstarbucked]

Hola GKU! I'm 16w5d today. No bump in sight, I kind of just look chubby. My innards have clearly shifted around and started moving up, but my ute has not started sticking out yet. It's weird because my belly gets super hard after I eat. Mostly I'm symptom free other than some heartburn and RLP. My last appointment at 15 weeks I got to see my munchkin wiggling around, he/she definitely looks more like a baby now instead of an alien or gummy bear.

My next appointment is April 16 for the anatomy scan. I cant wait to find out if everything is growing on track and learn what's cooking in my lady oven. The grandparents are DYING to know if it's a boy or a girl. I just want to know so we can pick a name and paint the nursery.

[charliefox]

ldubhawksfan, I am so excited to see you here! Congrats!

15w1d over here...sporting a little bump that grows to the size of a house by the end of the day, luckily H thinks it's adorable. Still nauseous but -almost afraid to say it- I haven't puked in 5 days ::fingerscrossed::

Got some genetic tests back last week and found out we're having a healthy BOY!

[requiressnacks]

This thread is so heartwarming. Congrats ladies!
