Can we do a roll call for the peeps who are still active and/or lurking? I still don't recognize half of the people that comment on certain threads. I guess that's what I get for taking a Bumpcation while on maternity leave. Maybe comment how long you've been around and if you did a SN change and why you are staying away or keep coming back to TB.
Re: Roll Call
I always have some entertainment when DS is up for a MOTN feeding. I enjoy the snark and honesty from this group as well.
There's an Illuminati like FB group of elite J14ers whom I am hoping are working on taking down ISIS and finding a cure for Ebola after their amazing work cracking the catfish. They make their presence known when matters need to be set straight, but seem mostly to be lurking now.
I've posted since about January. I have not changed my SN. I will stick around bc I go back to work next week and will need something to make it look like I'm really working when I return. I also don't like to be driven by fear and won't leave bc of a creeper. I also really like hearing about others who are dealing with similar parenting issues and enjoy this group.

I have not checked it out myself, but read that by signing in on the Knot allows you to change screen names.
He is so stinking cute! I am SO happy to see him thriving and getting so big
I have however, really appreciated the "been there/done that" tips from STMs as well as the general sharing of frustrations/ amusements of other FTMs (like those of us who recently all shared that our babies love watching ceiling fans. Who knew?)
I have a really busy job and long commute, so I only bump while on the bus or while pumping (or all day last Friday, that catfish business was addictive!). I will be around as long as the conversations keep going.

I'm here. Been here since November after the BFP. Did an intro back then but didn't post a whole lot, mainly concerning Q&A rather than the drama since I was crazy busy until DS arrived. Since then things have been more calm and I've been more active. It's hit or miss sometimes, like check a couple times a day and then not be on for a few days. I don't plan on going anywhere though. The advice, information, experiences, and support has been helpful to receive and give.
Edit: Did have a sn change in the summer, but still has part of the same name in it.
still here.
ETA: Apparently my avatar is gone. Wtf Bump.
Well, with a different name, but been here from the beginning.
