@ariz17 just keep playing around on the board like you are doing today! if it keeps up i am sure you will be in by next week. you dont have to give us your social or anything we just need to vet to make sure you are not a troll or sanctimommy you don't have to give us "x" amount of hours every day just participate when you can and that is enough!
@ariz17 A great place to start are the daily threads, tomorrow is FFFC so thank of a good confession to post. What day is your due date fall on? Certainly start out with that day's check in. There is also a FTM thread. Great places to get started and just continue posting.
I'll have i think about it. I only have enough time to participate in a couple places and right now that's my prior BMB on FB and this main board. If I don't make it over there, don't forget about me over here if a time comes for a Facebook group (I can participate easier there)
This exactly. Honestly, I don't know why we're breaking off into anither group so soon. Those of us due early October are only 17 weeks pregnant, which means we've been around the O17 board maybe 3 months. Just seems really premature and a great way to divide the group.
I so wanna be part of the kool group but between FT work, a toddler and the timezone difference, I don't get into much of the action on a regular basis. It's usually me talking to myself at the tail ends of every thread lol. But I am trying!

Me toooooooo. Curse full time teaching and West Coast time. Please don't hate me, everyone!
I know I've been silent for the past few weeks but I'm making a comeback! I seriously hate the mobile interface and am rarely on my computer these days. I'll make an effort to be more visible in this forum and then request to be added Andplusalso... I don't feel entirely comfortable opening up in such a public forum, so I really like the idea of a more private setting

Today is a busy day for me at work, so I won't be on much. I just caught up with all the approvals and will try to catch up again this afternoon. If it takes a little while to get through I apologize.
Also, if anyone knows how to make additional people moderators in the private groups, please PM me. I can't figure it our and the bump isn't emailing me back.
I'll request, although it's going to be hard keeping up with two groups. I haven't been on much this week with my upcoming testing I'm not feeling all warm and fuzzy but I don't want to distance myself completely.
2. I don't know about another group on the bump. It's so hard to stay active on the regular board, let alone another board/group. I feel like I could be more active if these boards were structure more like fb in that you could reply to a person's comment directly without have to tag them. Anyway, I'm totally down for a fb group, if you guys create one.
Just sent a join request. I'm not super active on here, but I try to drop in as often as I can. I'm a SAHM to a 3-year-old and an 11-month-old, so free time is few and far between. I promise I'm not a creep, just an overwhelmed momma of soon to be 3 :
@abaume I'm sorry, are you an October mom or a November mom? I don't think I've ever seen you post here...

I haven't really posted here. The bump is kind of glitchy for me. I am due Nov 1st but went 11 days early last time so I have been looking on this board but not posting really.
@abaume, they more than likely won't let you in... seems like a very 'elite' group of women and you have to post A LOT for you to be considered a regular. This board is quite slow already, sad since we are only a little over halfway thru our pregnancies. I lurk n17 mostly now. Im due Nov 1st as well!
@stefanirn06 it's definitely not because we are sharing more personal things there and want to make sure we know a bit more about someone before they come waltzing in.
It's definitely because we are elitist.

@jessafishy I totally get that. These groups should be places where members feel comfortable. If it's cool I will try to keep a line of communication open with you and post here more.
@abaume I'm glad you understand! Definitely stick around. Things are slow at the moment but I expect they'll pick back up.

Exactly. It can get exhausting to routinely start threads so it's nice when other people step up with the routine threads and new thread ideas!

I don't understand the butt hurt here? This isn't directed to @abaume, who seems like a completely normal person, but to the others complaining, why do you even want to be part of a group where you know literally no one and everyone in it has existing relationships? Why not just start a new tight core group here?
Hard eye roll at this whole thing. It's an internet forum not highschool....
Says the person with a whopping 7 posts since March, almost half of which are complaining about how things operate here. But you totally are the mature one in this situation.

I think that this is a great opportunity for people who were formerly lurkers to come out and make new bonds. Just because some of us aren't around much anymore doesn't mean you can't start a new group of regulars. Start threads, give and get support, and make some friends! This whole forum is meant to be a positive thing. Not everyone needs to be in one group.
