Hoping to be back on the board

HeatherKCT · February 2014

Hi there! I've been off this board, and all of the bump since right before I had my LO on 7-13-13. Before he was born I was involved in this board. I'm hoping to get back involved now! I'm a first time mom who's finding this transition to be extremely difficult and could use the advice and encouragement from this group. I hope you all will welcome me back after such a long break.

I don't really post much but I read a lot of the posts, which have helped me a lot!

kaylakim · February 2014

Welcome back. Just jump right in! Sorry you're having a difficult time. Hopefully this board can help.

She's from june13, I'm guessing since she had her baby late she is jumping ship.

jackson290721 · February 2014

Oh wait, nvm, I'm drunk.

Kitten80 · February 2014

Did you have a different SN? Welcome and jump in.

PrimRoseMama · February 2014

I mean, yay for new posters but I get all uncomfortable when someone suddenly thinks it's cool to associate with me now that they are desperate.

I have sympathy for troubles new mamas, so welcome. However, I don't like to feel like the last one on the dance card. :-??

jlaferne · February 2014

Hi Heather! I've been off posting anything on this board lately too. However, I am always reading and learning from all of these wonderful ladies in the group

Anyways, I'm here to help and/or offer any advice if you need it. I'm a first time mom too but I love being a mom more than anything and would love to offer you any help you may need! Thanks for your sweet and honest post.

jackson290721 · February 2014

Well now I'm all sorts of confused.

lancomechica · February 2014

What??

giraffeluvspi · February 2014

Well I see both are long time lurkers. I guess welcome back, for now...

Thanks for the warm wishes back. I am not sure what happened to my posts, I thought maybe because I was mobile, but they are all gone...

The only thing I've got is an inbox from ChrissieMaes asking about my update for the spreadsheet we made right before our due dates. My user name is the same. I took a screen shot to show.. Anyway... I'm not looking be a pain or anything but hopefully I can encourage and be encouraged through this board. I truly do appreciate the welcome backs!

jackson290721 · February 2014

Hmm. Weird.
Whatever, my neck hurts too much to care right now.

So how do you feel about pie? Can you eat cheese? Do you have any animals?

jlaferne · February 2014

?

TheLittleRedM · February 2014

@jlaferne What are you questioning? These are super typical questions to be asking if you're referring to jackson's post. But then, you would know that if you were even a super lurker.

jlaferne · February 2014

@thelittleredm I don't know everyone's posting personalities yet, sorry if that offends you? Looking forward to getting to know you, I'm glad you lurk around here like we all do, some just talk more than others. I'm sorry if this bothers you that I don't post often, I only mean well. Hence my original post on this thread.

TheLittleRedM · February 2014

Meh, I don't get offended easily. Just pointing out that if you lurked as much as you say you do, you'd realize what the different personalities were. I personally don't care if you lurk or don't lurk. White knights aren't appreciated but they are definitely not well received if it's from someone who never posts. Just so you know why you're getting the responses you are.

jackson290721 · February 2014

Yup. Just questions that matter to me because I love pie. Can't eat cheese, and have eight animals.

jlaferne · February 2014

@thelittleredm I didn't realize my post uncovered any kind of magnitude of my lurking

jlaferne · February 2014

@jackson290721
Love pie, love cheese, love animals.. I have a dog who was my first baby until the real baby came along.

valstulas · February 2014

Welcome back. Your dreams were your ticket out.

Lol the fact that you don't know how we would react to this type of post shows that you didn't lurk actively. Jackson's questions are common to complete new posters.

I'm just curious, if you were too busy for our friendship before please explain why it's all of the sudden cool to drop in? Lurking doesn't automatically give you a pass...

@HeatherKCT - I remember you, we had the same due date. The Bump did an update the second week of July and I think it just cleared out history for folks who didn't have activity after a certain period of time (maybe 3 months?).

Some of your old posts are still out there.

And welcome back

emandia · February 2014

Welcome back!

HeatherKCT · February 2014

PrimRoseMama, not sure if you were asking me or another poster to explain ourself, but I will.

The transition to motherhood hasn't really been at all what I was expecting, after a pretty rough delivery...the first few months with a newborn and figuring out how to keep my marriage strong despite disagreeing on many parenting decisions has been a struggle for me. I am just now starting to feel comfortable and confident as a mom and wife.

I felt so wrapped up in trying to figure things out myself, I stayed away from the Bump and most of my friends outside of the bump for way too long. And, as I said in my post, am hoping to be a bit more involved. I wasn't a huge poster before but I would comment my opinion when I felt I had something of value I add.

hope that helps you understand my distance for a while. And again, I appreciate the welcome backs!

I can appreciate this, but you know some of us had that type of thing going on here too? Anyway, welcome back.
