Hello April 2017 Moms!

I'm new to The Bump and look forward to good conversations and collaboration!

Hello! I've been in the March 2017 group until my first sonogram, when the GA was estimated at 6 wks 2 days, and the potential due date is now April 2nd. Good to be here! I am happy to be in this club for the next months. I am a first-time mother. I have been married to my DH for almost 2 years. So far, I am happy that I've had few disturbing symptoms.

Also, can someone help me with the ticker? When I have my ticker options picked, do I copy and paste the first box or the 2nd box into my signature section? 

Beckyf321

Has anyone started the Thursday ticker change?

KirstinH88

@beckyf321 I haven't seen it. If you are a Thursday ticker change, go ahead and start it!

@blackberry1006 I'm waiting for the Saturday ticker change. Can you tell I am excited for my first one? haha!

My EDD was changed to 3/31, so I am going to take Friday now (unless someone else is? Not sure), you wanna take over Saturday? 

mrsstuessy

@blackberry1006 Sure, I will take Saturday. Hoping they don't change my EDD.

@Neikoda - totally bummed to read this but definitely understand where you are coming from.  I appreciated the work you put in to setting up the stickied threads/excel spreadsheet, etc.  Hopefully the board can come more together in the next few weeks... 

KirstinH88

@Neikoda aw man! I'm super bummed to read this as well. I know coming from the TTGP board, we crave a little organization and order. I think since this board is still in the beginning stages and since many people are still joining, reading, and learning, it will just take some time for this board to hit its stride. I understand all the hard work you put into starting this board up, but I really wish you hadn't edited this post and the one with the spreadsheet. Now our community really will have no order. Best wishes to you and a H&H rest of your pregnancy. 

picklesplease

I think I will also take my leave of this BMB with @Neikoda. I was really excited to be a part of a community of women due with their LOs at the same time as me, but several people have made it obvious that they want no part of that. The AW posts are too much and make it obvious that some people have no desire to offer support to anyone else, but instead want to reap the benefits of women who have gone through this before them.

I wish you all the best.

@Neikoda, I'm sorry you feel like you need to step down. I love the organization on this board, and I think you and @TheJerilu have done excellent jobs at encouraging this new format. It's unfortunate there are many others out there who can't understand how helpful this type of organization is. I will try to hang around, but if it gets out of control like other boards I've seen, there won't be anyway for me to keep up. Thank you again for your time and hard work at trying to do something good for this board. 

pinkshades05

Seriously??? Just when the majority decided that they were ok with the organization with some exceptions and all that, let's just blow it all up? I didn't care either way, but this is a dramatic response to a really minor problem. 

schef070911

@Neikoda Just wanted to echo the sentiments of others and thank you for your work in organizing the board.  Obviously there's many different ways to "be" online and I'm relatively new to this online board thing, but I found the early organization very helpful.  I hope we can keep it going as much as possible. 

mrsstuessy

Really?!?! I understand that you are upset. I don't blame you. But, you could have at least left the announcement up for the rest of us normal ones. I'm really sorry to see you leave, @Neikoda.

What a bummer. As someone who expressed dissent, chaos and hurt feelings is certainly not what I meant when I spoke up.

I am here. I messaged Neikoda this morning with the same sentiment. I think the board is worse off for not having her around, and I hope she will come back at some point.

Echoing this sentiment.

@Neikoda. I really appreciated the organziation so thank you for getting all that started.  I'm sorry to see anyone go, much less someone who was so helpful to the getting things started.  I guess I was being optimistic, but I thought all this got worked out on a previous thread labeled "I have a question about the board."  I don't think there has ever been a bmb where everyone has agreed on everything...and most certainly not in the first month. I know some ladies who have not been part of a bump board needed to read the reasons why the organization is helpful and conducive to community. I wish you and @DoctorDonna would reconsider and we can all deal with the growing pains of this bmb together.  There will always be those people who are AWs, no matter how many "read this first" posts there are.  Some people just don't read. Much like in a real-life group of people, there will always be the ones who try to dominate the conversation, or who don't offer support to others, or just have no situational awareness.  I see this all the time in social settings. I see it here in these boards too.  I understand if you gals just can't deal, but I am going to continue eye rolling hard over here when it happens and try not to sweat it.  The fact that people are jumping to organize this board before chaos breaks out says to me that the majority of women here agreed with you about the organization anyway.

I feel like I'm missing something. Did a thread get deleted or something?

I am clearly missing something as well

Was this in response to the quadruplets post?

STM2017

@pinkshades05 and @firewife86, if you look back, the original post on this thread has been completely changed. Hope that helps. I'm still not 100% what happened but a very active member has left. 

ladameperdue

@NeikodaSo sorry you didn't feel appreciated. : ( You did a great job organizing. I'm guessing here, but I think many people don't see Internet enclaves as having strict rules or social norms because they don't have much experience with them, or only have one or two other experiences on which to base expectations (e.g. previous BMBs). Or maybe that's just me in my old age! I think what you've set up is a great foundation and wish you'd stay.
