@NYTino24 would it help if we divy up threads between people who are remaining and want to be more active to help keep others involved? 

NYTino24

@DungeonTrollMel I guess. I don't mind starting some. It's more of the other stuff that's an issue for me. I've said my piece, and I'm willing to let it go, though! Anyway, I have to go tutor all day.

I think you are awesome @NYTino24 and thank you for not giving up. God knows I have given up at times thinking how slow things became here and sort of felt sad that I would not be able to make friends like I did with the last bmb. I certainly don't feel like that anymore. The board is what you contribute to the board! 

As for the facebook group, I'm getting very tempted to join there as well as it looks like I'm missing the opp to get to know some lovely ladies. I've been a little wary of internet identity danger but maybe I'm over thinking. I don't post a lot of personal details on FB anyways!! But I do join I will certainly keep up here too just like I do now with my other mom groups and the board does have some very interesting ladies I would love to get to know more!

Thanks everyone who has made us newer people feel welcome. It's really appreciated. It is a little harder for us to engage in a "lively" discussion when the discussions have so many fewer participants at this point, but either way it's nice to at least have a few someones out there who are going through almost the same thing at almost the same time.

I know I have learned so much about pregnancy from all of you. As a FTM I am hoping those who are active on here stay active after our babies are born as well, as I could see me asking more question and doing some 3 am post while baby is feeding. It nice to have a group to turn to that is going though the same things are you are through out the whole pregnancy and (hopefully) beyond.

We will make November 17 an awesome place to be!!!!

I was only suggesting a way to generate more discussion. The social worker in me always wants to try to problem solve lol.

@shepersisted we are patiently waiting for you to be ready

ETA: I deleted myself from the spreadsheet for privacy after we had so many drive by and random posts. It was nothing personal and didn't mean I planned on leaving the group.

I think anyone who wants to keep conversations going / start new ones can check out the "read this first", look at old pages to bump or copy old threads, or even check out some discussions on old BMB.

I try to keep up on both FB and TB but a lot of the new threads don't apply to me. I tried to revive some of the old threads like weekend wins and there wasn't much response. I will continue to check back and post on the threads that I can relate to. It's hard for me personally to keep up with the random new threads but it is helping to liven up the board for others. I think it's just a matter of figuring out what works for the new group of posters. 

@NYTino24 if I could love tit your posts more than once I would.

So as we are getting to that time, I know people may start having baby showers soon if that's something they are doing. Are we interested in a thread for people to post pictures from theirs?

@DungeonTrollMel yes! I have mine on the 26th! I think a few photos from each shower would be so fun to have on here

hillaryo14

@DungeonTrollMel Yes, I think that's a great idea! I had my shower on the 5th already because it was the only time my sister could make it on from Oregon. I need to get my mom to send me copies of the pics she got from the shower, and I'll be glad to share them!

kaitlinliz

I can create one!
