I changed my mind

blue_elle

Ok, I know there was the whole thing with the FB group and last chances and whatnot, but I want in. I can't bump at work due to big brother internet and I need to talk about babies all the day! Who is the FB group goddess that can sneak me in?

Here's my creds - OG J14 crew member, over zealous love-titer, frequent commentator. Not the most vocal, funniest, wisest, or coolest, but an all-around good bumpie if I do say so myself.

What say you FB gatekeepers? Can a girl get some J14 FB love? I'll give you a cookie.

What, is there a secret password or something? I didn't realize it was so leet!

SandFHasse

I was thinking the same thing, but figured it was too late to join

It's very secret squirrel, unless you were around back when we had bumps, then everyone knows about it. I think there's a secret handshake involving spirit fingers and doing the cabbage patch.

@SandFHasse‌ never give up on your dreams

Roses87

I am with you, I regret my decision to decline .. but don't leave us!!

NenaMarie84

What's up with this group shrinking anyways? Just when our babies are getting fun there seems to be less action here. Everyone nailed the parenting thing? Or too busy chasing their babes?

Roses87

@tarajeannette I would be down for that. But I do like the bump a lot I would feel bad not bumping anymore...

Roses87

I don't use tb app. I just pull it up in my internet on my phone.

How should we go about this? Who would be interested? We should probably have some rules? So its legit ppl being invited.

@‌tarajeannette
@rgoblue are u interested?

JennaRaek

How would a FB group work? I mean... How does that work with people seeing your profile and everything? Can you set up privacy settings for groups? I'm a FB dummy. Sorry. I'm on the fence. I don't think I was around when they made the original page. I was here while pregnant, but then didn't bump much while on leave. But now I hate my job and bumping makes it better.

blue_elle

I don't want to leave TB. I just want to be able to talk babies while I'm at work. Girl's got to have some entertainment while she pumps!

I don't want to leave TB, but FB is easier on my phone.

Are people in the group able to view my profile though?

Roses87

I just looked to see how it would be done, We would make it "secret" right? The other option was "closed" But people can still search and find it. I thought secret may be better. What do you ladies think?

NenaMarie84

I wasn't a FB group member cause I only came along later. Would you accept me in a FB group if one was to be made? I promise to play nicely.

blue_elle

I'll set it up! PM me your IRL names please

blue_elle

And as usual, peeps who aren't activemembers of this group need not apply

Roses87

Are we going to have restrictions? And what should they be?

Pinknights

I had asked to join the Facebook group but I had about 70 posts, so I was denied! I was like ok, clearly being one here since June 2013 meant nothing. Very silly.

I would love to join a J 14 group from here. I feel like I "know" so many of you.

Oh man, look here are the requirements for the original FB group:

https://jan14moms.blogspot.com/2013/09/hot-topic-facebook-groups.html

Yeah that's why I didn't join the Facebook group. I didn't meet those damn requirements.
@pinknights i so agree with u!!!

Roses87

I am stupid, but what does IRL stand for?? : )

blue_elle

l think that have to be members of this group and not first day. Obviously we want to protect our private info. But we don't need to be super crazy. Open to suggestions, but we can get going with the obviously regular members anyway.

@Roses87‌ in real life

blue_elle

We're leaving our helmet appointment. Will get set up when we get home.

Roses87

@tarajeanette Thats a good idea

I just came out from lurking not too long ago. I would love to join the group, but I don't want to be considered a weird person that no one recognizes. My Facebook app works much better than my Bump app. That said, I cannot access facebook from my work computer so I would still be on the bump at lunch. Would you guys have me, or should I just stick to bumping?

somewierd_person

I would also be interested in a fb group, I may be considered a pt bumpie. Im on fb constantly tho, although I wouldn't abandon here either. Just fyi I don't think you have to friend the leader of the group, I'm in a secret group and I'm not friends on fb with the creator. Just have to add to the group.

BABYROSEJEANS17

I'm down! I was denied because no one knew me which is odd because I commented most times but I worked long hours. I'm bored during my pump sessions because DS is always napping at that time.

Sakura16

Uh, what do you consider an "active" member? Lol. I post when I can, but I travel for work so I'm not super active.

Roses87

@sahura16 i would consider u one.

Personally, i don't think you have to be a power poster, just that you participate enough that we know who you are. I realize that can be interpreted, but I don't think anyone's going to be an asshole about it. 

This exactly

babybuns2

Could I join in a couple months if I wanted to?  Obviously it'd be super weird if I wanted to join now since I just came back yesterday with a new account, and hi, nobody remembers me from almost a year ago.  Duh.  But if I'm active, could I join later, or is there going to be a cutoff date like last time?

blue_elle

@babybuns2 I don't see why we would put a cut off date on it. Obviously as people get more comfortable with the bump group they may decide they're ready to join. I don't think we want to exclude because they were new when it was created or weren't sure if they were ready 

precious72381

I'm in. You know me and my crazy (finally sleeps in her own crib) Abby. at least the people from the MOTN really know me.

blue_elle

@precious72381‌ who are you?

Shoot me a pm with your email if you haven't already!

mkat10414

Do you guys recognize me? Hah. I'm on Facebook all the time...except when I'm at work but I'm not allowed to have my phone out at my job. I would love to join the group

Love love love this idea!!! Hopefully y'all recognize my name lol. Bumping is so hard at work and fb makes it so much easier!

Munchie2.0

Sorry

bethughknee

When the rules for the original group were laid out, it was still first tri. That's why they seem strict or exclusive. Anyone remember how many crazy cakes we had? ANYONE?

Y'all do your thing but honestly this post makes it seem like you don't even want any of the OG's who joined FB to come play anymore.
