Remember when....

heatherkennedy021

I've been here from the very beginning but haven't posted much I mainly lurk and would check in and read the post. But I would have to say the group has gone to crap! I've thought about deleting several times. It used to be fun to read now its just not so much! To much of the same questions being asked in several post along with pure ridiculousness! I should have known a bunch a women and hormones this was bound to happen ... I don't understand why people are such cry babies! I honestly thought we were adults.... But I will say the core group of ladies in the beginning got me through some tough times with there hilarious post and great advice ! Thanks ladies! But in all seriousness I hope everyone has safe deliveries to healthy babies!

It's HDBD and it means Hump day bump day. When we post pics of our baby bumps.

Yeah, that! Thanks!

I think I'm going to watch mean girls now and eat some chocolate to show my support to the OGs.

@ArielleRene It can also mean "Hump Day Baby Day" when we can posts pics of our newborns after they get here.

I don't know where else to share this... but today I was looking at my phone and then put it down to talk to my mom. I couldn't find my phone after I was done talking to her... I was sitting down and looking all around me - coffee table, between the couch cushions, everywhere. You know where it was? Squished between my stomach and my leg... yeah.

Can I just chime in here and say that I'm super proud of myself that one of my threads got shut down? 

That being said, let's not talk about it because I thankfully didn't get a warning and I'd like to keep it that way ... but seriously, there's a little part of me that's going, "yay, me!"

I'm loving the fun posts the last few days. I miss those early days.

I'm thankful to be an OG. I love my mean girls.

This is exactly where I keep mine on purpose!

@kristen2b - it was a very safe place. I may start using it.

Oh i'm glad somebody clarified that. I was going to post a picture of a fat angry hairless cat today. Which is basically a sexier version of me.

One was a gif that said "and...?"

Literally, that's all it said. As much as Chicco is loved, it seemed like there were some people out to get her. I guess she just got reported too many times? I don't think there was an actual incident that caused the ban. I do know there is a private group for D15 so I'm assuming that's where most people are posting. Hopefully they still check in.

I feel so left out.

Yeah no. That's definitely not where the cool people went. But a lot of the people we "bullied" are there if you feel like being called mean and rude. ETA I'm referring to the Fb group for d15. 

***

There is a Facebook group for D15. There are 300 members in the group. She is correct that the FB group is not where many of the core regulars went, most of the women who joined the FB group are not regular posters here anymore, and many of them came to the bump only to find a FB group. I welcomed everyone to come check out the FB group, but I understand that because FB uses your real name, some people were uncomfortable doing that so early on and some people don't use FB. The core group of regulars formed a private group here on the bump instead (there's a section of the website devoted to private groups you can join). Some crap happened between the two groups, unrelated to most of the 300 of us, which is unfortunate, since I prefer the ease of the FB structure and app. 

I've continued to use both formats as I did with my first pregnancy, though I lurk more here than post/comment, and I agree with them that it's not as interesting as it once was since some regulars have been banned. That being said, I thought I would at least present a different perspective. My Jan '13 FB is still active with over 100 members and it's been nice watching all the kiddos grow up since we're all now approaching having three-year-olds. Right now, the majority of conversations are about Lularoe leggings and toilet training.
