@lelkcot - i want to eat everything in sight! Somehow yesterday hostess cup cakes made it into my shopping cart. I haven't eaten those in years. slammed two last night after I got home. OMG so good!
@zionsmama85 I hope you feel better soon. Our weather just changed practically overnight, so I anticipate the first colds of the season hitting our home as well.
For anyone interested there's a great Mom's Night Out show called The Pump and Dump Show that just announced new fall/spring tour dates. I'm really sad that they aren't coming to my city again, but I saw them a few years ago and not only are they HILARIOUS but I left the comedy club feeling like an empowered woman and the best mom for my little baby. I highly recommend going if they are coming to your town.

Pity party of one over here this morning. Morning came too soon. I wish sweat pants were acceptable attire for my job. I just want to stay in my nice warm bed all day. I’m starving. Left over chili is acceptable breakfast right?! Hair just thrown in a pony for work is an acceptable compromise to not wearing sweat pants at 19 Weeks pregnant dealing with a headache right?
We have two sleeping beauties in heaven. Jack gained his wings on 09/02/2016. Kali gained her wings on 07/28/2015. They will be forever missed.
We scheduled an open house for Saturday morning and I *just* remembered I have to work, so the H will have to wrangle the DDs and get the house clean. I know he can handle it, but it's going to be a total sh*tshow. I JUST WANT OUR STUPID HOUSE TO SELL.
@bdesterhouse totally acceptable. I indulged yesterday in too much salty popcorn, got really swollen, and then spent all night peeing to get rid of the extra fluid... then up at 0500 to do farm chores in the cold before a 12 hours shift at work. Pony and no makeup for me!!!

@3rdtime_charmed and @ashley14598 Thanks ladies. Just hoping I can keep something down soon. Lesson learned to not wean myself off the meds and keep telling myself it means I'm pregnant. Thanks pgal brain.
This is so random, but whenever any of you write “Sorry for the novel” after you post anything longer than a few sentences, I feel like, “Don’t apologize! I love seeing the longer more detailed posts & getting to know you all better!” Anyone else?
All that said, I tend to always write a lot & feel self-conscious that people may read my posts & think, “Geez! Why does she always write novels?” Hahaha!
So I was going to bring it up on the next “totes come join my FB group, here’s all my info” post, but we haven’t had one in a minute.
Some of us are already 1/2 way through this pregnancy, with the rest soon to follow. When and how do we want to go private? I’m in a private bump group from my last bmb, so I don’t know how people usually do the FB exodus.
DD1: June '16 DD2: March ‘19 :::: Married since 2011 :::: USN Wife ::::
@meggyme My other BMB moved off into a private FB group after we'd all had our babies. By that point we were a lot more comfortable with each other and willing to let people into our private lives. I'm very cautious about who I share that level of information with, so for me I probably wouldn't consider joining a private group until much later. But, that's just me - others may feel differently.
Ok, I know a lot of BMB’s move in late 3rd since everyone gets pretty busy once babies start arriving and some move to a private bump group before transitioning to FB, so I was wondering when people were thinking and how we wanted to facilitate it. Mostly just to start the conversation about specific expectations.

@meggyme My last BMB moved to a private group once there was a small group of us "regulars" left after babies were born plus most of us follow each other on IG and/or Snapchat. I'm good with whatever....as long as ya'll will invite me
My random to add: Thursday's edition of why I'm crying - DH left for work this morning without saying goodbye. Says he knew I was up twice last night with DD and thought I could use the few minutes extra sleep...which is sweet but he ALWAYS says goodbye. Stupid hormones.
I'm good with whatever too! I like the idea of keeping in touch post-baby. Esp being a FTM, I maybe feeling all sorts of ways and could learn of lot of you ladies

I don’t do social media, so I am selfishly hoping that the mass exodus will happen after babies are born. I really appreciate this group and the support here, and I think I will be sad if people leave before the babies arrive. But that’s just my selfish wish not to be alone here with the 3rd trimester one-offs and “am I in labor” posts
@dtspmama and @maggiemadeit my last bmb group has a private group here on the bump and it has worked out great. We feel a lot more comfortable sharing pictures/information because we know that only the people in the group can see it and at the same time, they can only see what we decide to share. Some of them don't have fb, but mostly we all missed the bus on the fb exodus (they were very sneaky about it). I think it's a great option and since my other group is already here, I'd be interested in joining either/or/both.

- I like novels, let’s me get more details that way.
- my husband knows not to leave without saying I love you, kissing me, or saying good bye. I’m a freak about what if’s happening. He indulges my craziness.
My random: I am at a our local giant pumpkin patch with my son and regret getting us season passes. I did it with the intent that we would come quite a bit, but it’s rained too much and being here pregnant has me cranky. I hate walking so much. But he loves it here so I keep telling myself that reason alone makes it worth it. I can suck it up for a few hours of fun for him.

I am here for private Bump or FB. when i had my last (10 years ago) there was a site called Parents Connect and our birth group heavily communicated through that. we all linked up on FB after/around the time we had the babies and i am still friends with all of them now and i love having that connection to people all over the country. so count me in! I understand the privacy issues, i am also an open book but pretty selective about who i allow to be on my SM...so whenever, i am down!
@maggiemadeit yeah, they're pretty nice because you basically choose who your admins are and then you don't have to worry about bumpgods or drivey's or lurkers. https://forums.thebump.com/groups

I will not be joining FB if that is what happens. I also would prefer if the switch came post-birth. June '16 completely died after they moved to FB, despite people saying they'd stick around and post on the board, too.
I have lots of thoughts on moving to FB. I cannot understand how people think FB is "easier," which is what I see come up all the time. I think here is way easier to keep up with. Can anyone please explain it to me?
I'm fine with a private bump group, but I also am fine staying here for awhile.
@lovesclimbing were you in June 16? Because that's my board that moved to a private group. We stuck around for probably a year after the babies were born before making the move.
DD1: June '16 DD2: March ‘19 :::: Married since 2011 :::: USN Wife ::::
@lovesclimbing I agree with you that FB is not really easier. I mean, I suppose it gives you one less website to log into? But there's so much extra noise!
@lovesclimbing@mayoduck I agree. Even in relatively small groups I'm in on FB the replies to post and replies to other comments get so nested and hard to follow. And half the time I don't see new comments on threads I might have started because they were replies to other people replying to my original post. I think that for the sort of topics that go on here, it's much more organizes as a message board.
I think when people talk about it being easier, they just mean that they are already on facebook and it's not as glitchy as the bump app tends to be sometimes. I don't think they necessarily mean the ease with which you can follow a conversation.
