Dear Regs

EMLYNNLERETTE · October 2013

I didn't think this needed to be said, but it seems like a lot of you are really concerned that our board is dying. It's not. We are all new to parenthood, even those of us who have children already still have a new personality to become acquainted with. If you are considering leaving because you think everyone is gone for good-don't. If you look around, several regs are coming back more frequently as they get into a routine. Some of us haven't even had our babies yet! Hang tight, shoot, welcome some newbies. (You know I am only talking about the sane newbies.) Come December you will want our board and those newbies will also be great regs with a lot of good input. I can't tell you how invaluable my BMB was when DD was an infant. Plus, I will miss you. DON'T LEAVE ME!

Temporarily stepping off my soapbox.

Loves.

I just miss the snark and fun. I know it's not dying. I figured everyone was on the fb group.

Apparently it's a life changing decision to ask to be a part of their elite group.

EMLYNNLERETTE · October 2013

Aurora I wasn't specifically talking about you. I hope I didn't come off that way. It just seems like the ideology is that it's headed that way.

EMLYNNLERETTE · October 2013

I'm not on the FB group and don't plan to be. I love you all, but I also care about my privacy...

Funny that the FB post and the UO post that mentioned the FB post brought back some of the old feeling of the board
\m/

EMLYNNLERETTE · October 2013

Ahh the UO. I have been dreading opening it because I want to have time to actually read it! Time is sparse around here!

It's not that long

llybeck · October 2013

Yay, love all around! I agree, I said in another post that I was sad I didn't come on here as often since I was adjusting to caring for a newborn. But now that I have a better handle on this whole motherhood thing, I feel like this site is even more useful. I agree with PP that I miss all the snark sometimes and we don't have as many discussions right now but the ones we do have are very helpful.

And honestly I love hearing about how everyone is doing and for those with outside babies how you are handling different aspects of caring for LO and the bits of advice we can offer each other. Being a mom is the most amazing thing I've ever done and I'm glad I have a place to discuss and share that with some awesome ladies who went through it the same time I did.

PrettyInPearls23 · October 2013

I'm finally getting to the point where I can log in more often. If I didn't loathe mobile bumping so much, I'd be on all the time while I was pumping.

I know the FB post brought out the bitch in me again. Sigh.

EMLYNNLERETTE · October 2013

Hahaha. I just read the UO. @redfallon Now I feel like I am just your echo! I blame it on feeling like this 24/7.

HBirdie · October 2013

I agree... our board is slow right now, but it's not dead. I think it makes a lot of sense for it to be a little less interesting at the moment, what with the constant birth announcements and everyone disappearing to learn how to take care of brand new babies. I'm sure in a few weeks or a month, it'll go back to the way it was before.

revlaurawittman · October 2013

I love all of you. I hate mobile bumping. I'll be more active when I go back to work. I can't believe my leave is almost over.

Curls218 · October 2013

I'm here for the long haul. I just don't get on a lot. I originally was bumping while nursing but DS's latch isn't great so my LC said to keep his head in place the whole time therefore it's now a two handed job! But I try to get on once or twice a day. When he gets on more of a schedule I'll be on more, then definitely when I go back to work in December. I'm glad you guys are sticking around!

mcg512 · October 2013

I still try to check in a couple times a day but I absolutely hate mobile bumping and am still getting the hang of this mom thing

I'll be posting more once I go back to work. Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying your LOs!

ammiddleton3 · October 2013

I've finally gotten around to creeping more at 3 weeks. Everyone willstart coming around again.

ammiddleton3 · October 2013

Although I will say I hate mobile bumping as well..

jlp0528 · October 2013

I joined later in the game and mostly mobile bump but I really have enjoyed being in this group. I may not know everyone as well but I've been trying and getting into posts as much as I can without ladies going

I hope you'll keep me >:D< even though I'm not a beginning of the group member!

JocelynB0911 · October 2013

@jpryber0528 you're funny. I like you.

I actually like all the regs on this board. We have our differences but when it comes down to it, i have your backs unless I'm disagreeing with you. All bets are off then

I'm going to eat a burrito now. That us all

kimberlymacrae · October 2013

Lets all take off our pants

magdalina.h · October 2013

I'll be posting more once I'm
Back at work.

Tshae2432 · October 2013

I agree. I come here everyday looking for advice or just to see what everyone is goin threw. Makes me feel better reading some of the stories.

313Meg · October 2013

I also am one who was not very active pre baby. I once I moved and work situation changed in my third tri... I was able to get more involved. I have to say I have learned to appreciate this board more and more snark and all. I solely mobile bump and plan on staying as I have been pretty active until my LO has been dealing with hospital visits the past 2 weeks.

You ladies are pretty cool!
:Insert image here: if I could w my phone and in hospital now.

Kristonita12 · October 2013

I agree with everyone.. I will definitely be bumping more when I return to work in two or three weeks. I'm excited to have you ladies for entertainment and encouragement while I'm there!

barnratash · October 2013

I just had my baby Monday and only just came home from the hospital yesterday afternoon. Definitely trying to lurk while recooping from my csection and learning how to breastfeed. Its hard to find a minute to get on here.. I haven't even posted my full birth story yet! The only reason I'm even able to post now is because I'm in the bathroom (sorry tmi, but you know how it is) and my mother has LO. I'll definitely be on more when I get more in more of a swing of things because I find the board even more helpful now.

MegStark · October 2013

I just have to add that I REALLY miss the snark while I'm still sitting here at work... waiting for this baby. Upside? Once she finally arrives I'll probably have some questions that you all can answer since most have your babies already

Surfergirl013 · October 2013

: just stepping in to wave: Hi!! I love that everyone jumped in here! good to see everyone again!

THIS. Totally this.

I feel bad because I haven't been on in daysssss and I'm totally guilty of not keeping in touch. Like I said before.. it just feels weird being here when everyone has their babies already ): Even some of the O13 moms have had theirs!! Like come on LO!!!

I also despise mobile bumping. It's the worst. I NEVER do it anymore.

jjkaye · October 2013

I've turned in to a super creepy lurker, but I'm posting more as I get better at one handed baby things! I'll be back and contribute more when I'm back to work as well...

This was me for a couple weeks, I would read on mobile and think of something to add to the discussion and then I'd have baby spit up all over me or a diaper to change and then I'd forget all about it, lol. It's crazy how fast you become at mastering how to do things quickly and one-handed!

I'm feeding baby and typing a bid at work and on the phone at the same time. Lol I got this!

Yep, I've got DD nursing in the football hold on my left side. A few weeks ago, I wouldn't have even been looking at my computer!

When do you go back to work and how is your LO? I haven't seen too many updates as of late.

FTR, I love Emma Stone and all of you. ;-)

Babybabybabyohhhhhhh · October 2013

I'm glad the regs are planning on sticking around. I would feel so lost without this board!!

blinnea23 · October 2013

I feel like more of a lurker. I'm trying to post more I promise!!! I just never feel like I have much to contribute being a FTM. Having an outside baby now maybe that will change. You all crack me up though, nighttime feedings go by much quicker. :P

EMLYNNLERETTE · October 2013

@blinnea23 I recognize your name! I would consider you a reg!
