Heiditylerg

So exciting the last trimester is here! Nursery is done, shower is Dec 1st. Yippee feeling great!!!

ziggy903

...good for you.

Wow! You are very accomplished! I mean that with all sincerity.
I will be right there with you on Sunday!
Eeeeekkkk!

Giraffealaff

Glad you are feeling great, hun! I am very happy for you. Glad you are accomplishing things, hopefully it gives you a good amount of time to relax and prepair for LO.

It feels great to inch closer and closer to the finish line! I can't wait for the nursery to be done!

The whole third trimester thing just really sunk in for me today! Mine starts on Sunday this week :-D

Good on you for having a nursery finished - we have the basics, but I haven't really had the chance for any fun decorating.. That'll all go down soon though. I'm doing kind of a Beatrix Potter/woodland creature theme, what's yours?

Winnieella

That's great. I think when we are all in 3rd tri we should do a gif thread about it.

But what was the point of this post? this isn't a blog- it's a message board. If she had ended with "anyone else super excited?" Or something like that, it would be a different story. But this? Is just "look at me me me! I don't care about you guy though or anything else here!"

You are reading way too much into it. People post vent posts all the time that are solely about themselves and not looking for shared experiences. I think those are fine and I think the opposite kind of post (like this one) are too.

What's the point of raining on her parade?

I think a vent post from an active member and an AW post from someone who doesn't contribute much are pretty different things. The active poster is looking for support, feedback, and people to listen like she's listened to them. A post like this is looking for...attention? Maybe I'm just a bitch cuz I still have almost another month of second trimester to go and this post made me feel left out, or like I don't belong here.

Well, maybe every post isn't about you.

I hardly think that posting a feeling of being happy to enter third tri is being an AW but whatever.

Flaming this innocuous post just seems like creating unnecessary drama. There was nothing flame worthy here, IMO.

No one is flaming here except you. You're the one creating unnecessary drama. I said "good for you" which is how I would react to a stranger telling me these things completely randomly like this. Not flammable.

Woah nelly - really? I shared how it made me feel insecure and low and even called myself out for being sensitive about it and you're going to jump on me like that? No flaming here - look again. You've been the rudest person here tonight by far. I'm not making this post about me, there are lots and lots - a third? At least a quarter?- of women here with later due dates.

If you are feeling low and insecure about having another month left of second trimester than you need to get over it. Seriously. That is the most ridiculous thing that I have ever seen posted here.

It is crazy to say that people can only post about things that everyone is sharing in at that exact moment. ETA: Should everyone hold off on posting about her baby's arrival then because you will be feeling insecure about having another month left until your due date? It's crazy.

And what's the big deal about someone else expressing an emotion on that thread? We're allowed to say "good for you, I'm nowhere near that so I'd rather not hear about it" as much as I was allowed to tell TLex that those donut flavors sounded disgusting. 

I'm glad OP is happy. I was glad TLex got her donuts. But that doesn't mean I have to enjoy the post. 

No one is arguing that you have to enjoy the post.

You can express your thought on being annoyed about it and then in turn I guess I can express my thought on thinking you are creating unnecessary drama. We can go in circles. Or we can just be happy for those who are happy and move along. That seems easier.

All I know is that when I first read this, the only two posts on this thread were the super upbeat initial post and ziggy's 'good for you', and for some not mean spirited reason, I just laughed so hard that I was practically choking. 

(As I laid on the couch with Halloween candy scattered over my belly, thinking about how I have so much to get done and wish I could just get up.)

I posted AW cuz that's exactly what it was. Shameless AW. See how it says AW in the title? Get it? And if I was your H, I wouldn't bring you donuts either. Was that really so hilarious to you that you had to edit your post to add it in? You need a break from TB for the night, I think.

So, if she had followed your self-imposed rules and put AW in the title this thread would have been okay? Got it.
I didn't edit my post. I created a new one.
LOL at the "I feel sorry for your husband". Bump classic. I don't need a break. I'm not bothered. The ridiculousness of this thread is amusing. It was quite easy to find that thread of yours. It's on the first page when you click on your name.

You don't see that as braggy?
"I'm super awesome!" From some stranger is really braggy. It's not a bad thing, we all brag sometimes, but some sort of warning that that's all I'm looking to get out of the post would have been nice.

Also, brag is a funny word. I've never said it quite so often and didn't notice it before.

A) Not what she said. "If I were your husband, I wouldn't get donuts for you either" is pretty much saying just that. It is a bump cliche.

Yeah, that's how the Bump works. Everything's right there. It's the fact that you felt the need to go seek it out that's really obnoxious. I have no problem with any of you three feeling that I am obnoxious- pot meet kettle.

C) Everyone has had AW posts. But call it like it is - you want to flaunt something and be an attention whore. No one is embarrassed by their own AW posts. But in this case, the AW made some people feel crappy. Move the fuck on. Lol at her post making anyone feel crappy. If writing: hurray for third tri, I'm excited for my shower and I'm excited to have my baby's nursery completed makes someone feel crappy that is their issue not OP's or anyone else's.

So maybe it's you who needs to "move the fuck on"
