He's adorable, bibliothecary!

I think he's part bunny or something. He's simply too cute. I am so in love with him.

Srsly. I just want to snuggle him. You make cute kids, Bilbo. 

[adorebel]

Holy schnikes, budders, that is a cute baby.

[Ray]

bibliothecary holy crap that kid is cute

whatsit I LOVE your nursery!!

Sparkly how are you half way already? What? Lol

[renbee]

Oh, hi. I go here now. I didn't do a bfp post on the board because I'm feeling a little bit like "the girl who cried pregnant", but it looks like our first femara + IUI cycle was a success!

I got my bfp a couple weeks ago, and have since had two betas - first was 262, second was over 600! Best betas I've had in 3 pregnancies, so I am hopeful!

My progesterone is a little low at only around 9, so I am on suppositories (yay). I'm trying not to freak too much about this but PGAL brain is a bitch.

Today I'm 5w 2d, and I believe my EDD is 4/24/16. I have my first ultrasound with my RE on Thursday so I'm hoping we see a little spec and maybe even a heartbeat, but I know it's early.

Love you all!!!

[Ray]

Woot woot! Congratulations renbee!

[pbandj714]

Eep! Congratulations renbee!!

[ceejay]

Congrats, renbee!

[ventotheessa]

Hey GKU!

I haven't checked in for a while. I'm in the final stretch, I'll be 38 weeks tomorrow. It's crazy to think I'll have an outside baby so soon. Baby is doing great though and everything is looking good. I'm just trying to make it as close to my due date as possible without the OB wanting to induce me because of GD. So far everything is looking good though.

Always lurking and keeping my fingers crossed for more BFPs!

[♪♫choppinbroccoli♫♪]

renbee!!! Congratulations!! What awesome news.

[TheEleventhHour]

Congrats renbee!!!

Also, my goodness, GKU makes some freaking adorable babies! I can't stand it!

[fuzzylogic]

Oh, hai there.

27w2d here. Significantly and suddenly more pregnant-looking. Like from yesterday morning to today. So much so that my department head said, "Girl, you are so much more pregnant than yesterday. And I see you every day so I shouldn't be shocked." I wasn't offended...I had noticed myself last night as I laid on the couch and realized that my belly button is suddenly very shallow...

Basically just trying to keep my sugar under control without being ravenous all the time. I was sleeping like a champ until the last few nights but I think her growth spurt had something to do with that. Might as well start blaming her for everything that goes wrong, yes?

I can't believe how far along so many of you are! Way to go!

[walkek85]

Sparkly, love that one piece suit in the last pic!

[emilie]

These posts make me so happy. Congrats renbee and pineapplesmoothie! Fx for a speedy recovery and good luck with PT sully326! And no advice b but best of luck over the next few weeks.

bibliothecary and budders the cuteness is killing me!

[sully326]

b - Thank you so much! It was definitely a long and crazy road but she was worth every bit of it!...I can't believe you're 35 weeks already!! I'm so happy this is,finally happening for you & I can't wait until you're able to hold your LO!!

emilie - Thank you!

[kellybenelly83]

renbee congratulations! I had an early u/s with Blob because of the last time, we didnt see a heartbeat at 5+2 but at 7+3 we really did so dont get discouraged if you cant see it yet. FX everything is good this time around, I'll break out the crazy glue for you!!

[Sparkly]

Congratulations on your BFP renbee, FX for a sticky baby, H&H 9 months!!!


pineapplesmoothie, Ramona is just precious! I read your birth story too and just whoa!! I am so glad everything worked out okay for you both!


walkek85, one piece is from Target! It's snug on me now, but was a great transition suit earlier this summer when I just felt bloaty and lumpy.

[Deleted]

Congratulations renbee,

pineapplesmoothie, Oh my gosh your daughter is so beautiful! I hope all continues well for you!

[chad5285]

pineapplesmoothie, If Ramona would have stayed longer I think you would have been able to braid her hair! Please to have some of that for my probably bald until two child?

[getzystark]

Congrats renbee!!!

Congrats renbee!!

[charliefox]

The pure cuteness in this thread is almost too much!

I'm 37+2, no signs of labor which is just fine with me. I don't know if I mentioned it in the grad thread last week but we're redoing our main bathroom and re-working the layout of the back of our house. This place is completely upside down and stuff is everywhere; the photo shows the most uncluttered part of our house currently. I'm trying to keep the essential baby things together (and out of the way of the dust) in case we need them sooner rather than later. The next few weeks are going to be very interesting. 

[minionkeeper]

37+5 and so ready to be done lol. I've been having unproductive contractions for awhile and it's taken an emotional toll as well as a physical one this last week.
BUT I'm GBS negative which I'm ecstatic about since I hate antibiotics. First time in 3 pregnancies. Yay.

Did my A1C blood test today in preparation of my 38 week appointment tomorrow and my last u/s is on Monday. Next week we will pick an induction date since I have GD and doctor won't let me go past EDD. It's nice to think I'll be holding this baby boy soon and 9 months of stressful health issues will be gone.

Lurking constantly and always so happy to see the bfps. Hoping for more!

Super late to this but wanted to post a quick update. 27 weeks today! I passed my 1hour glucose test Tuesday with flying colors, so I'm very thankful for that. My MIL helped me paint the nursery this past weekend so major progress can start in there now. Otherwise just plugging along try to take care of the not so fun stuff like finding daycare and a pediatrician. So much to do and it's amazing how fast the time really goes. Good luck to everyone. Still think about you all with crossed fingers often!

@littleliverpill, kelle017, bluebird44, @minioinkeeper, great looking bumps, ladies!

I'm doing pretty well, although MS still hasn't left quite yet. It is definitely manageable and I am trying to get naps in where I can. I have an appt for a 3D/4D scan tomorrow while my mama is in town, so I'm super excited to see our baby boy. AND.... I'm moving back to Chicago! DH got the job he has been applying for for over a year and we move 9/11. So that means I can come to the Chicago G2G Here I am at 20 weeks and half baked!

icequeen, you look great, and congrats on H's new job and the big move!

Thank you so much! We are both thrilled, especially to be back home with all our family and friends

[URMySunshine77]

jefa, it's so good to see you.

I love all of the bumps in this week's thread!

I'm 6w6d. I'm feeling mild nausea on and off. Maybe weekly acupuncture is helping it? I am sleepy and quick to tears. I think my breasts have started growing. Our first appt. is in two weeks. I escaped my mom visiting and my MIL visiting without spilling the news, but my naps and constant hunger may have given me away.

Sending love to all my GKU ladies. XO
