Mostly lurker but don't plan to leave TB. Maybe I'm not being principled enough, but going elsewhere sounds hard, and I have a ten-week-old, so I'm not into that.
I also barely know what happened since I only read N14 and O14, so a lot of the drama was lost on me.
Short intro since I am coming out of the shadows of lurkdom. FTM to baby girl Emma born on 11/21. **Trying** to work from home - but crap, it is really difficult. Not sure how long it is going to last!
Thanks to all the ladies who consistently posted, I found solace and support in the MOTN when I thought I was going to break. I always felt a little creepy just lurking, but I was late to the game and felt like it was probably to late to join in. I wanted to take this lull in the board as an opportunity to become an active poster!

Hi! I remember when I found out I was going to be working from home that I had it made in the shade! Now I'm finding it incredibly taxing! How about you?

I'm still here. I just recently joined the FB group and I really enjoy it. I haven't had much of a chance to post either place lately, but I plan on jumping in when I can! I will stick around here as long as people are still here. I haven't joined the PB yet.
I'm here. I posted more early on but then things got crazy IRL. I turned into a lurker and then felt like no one would know who I was when I finally had time to come back. Now I wish I had jumped back in. I'm missing everyone that is gone. I'd like to join the Facebook group but I think everyone would just wonder who I am.

I'm still here! Real life stuff has been a little taxing so I have been posting inconsistently. And like @minibean16 I've been trying to avoid screen time during MOTN feeds so both LO and I go back to sleep faster.
Though like @Becks517 I also hate falling asleep during feedings, so it really just depends on how I'm feeling
Here. I've been mostly lurking from the very beginning. By the time I had a chance to really start posting I felt kind of like an outsider. I've posted a few times, but really need to jump in on things more often. I'm not part of any of the other groups, but may consider checking them out if things die out around here. I've loved reading along with this board and it's really helped me out a lot (people are always asking and answering questions that I myself am wondering about also). I miss everyone because even though I don't post a lot and people don't know me, I feel like I know everyone else. I'm hoping we don't completely disappear because I'll really miss this board. :-(
I'm here! I'm usually on FB but i still try to check in once a day. I would like to encourage all the lurkers to jump in and take the reigns. I have made some awesome friendships on here and I would hate for you Mamas to miss out on being a part of this community.
I'm still here but definitely less. The switch to the daily randoms was a starting point for me. Then between moms getting busy with their LOs and migrating elsewhere, then TB gods doing their thing... it really doesn't feel the same and I'm sad that we aren't all in ine spot anymore. Between here and the other groups I feel kind of homeless. Not sure where I'll spend most of my free time yet but time will tell.
Also still here! I mostly lurk but contribute here or there when I have something to say. (and am shy)
I also work from home so my time to mobile bump has been really limited because LO is fussy on and off plus trying to transition him to his pnp instead of my arms so I could actually do some work while he naps! It is tough!!! I've decided to put him in daycare that lets me do drop in hours.
At this moment, i'm laying in bed terrified LO will wake up soon. I successfully got him to fall asleep in his PNP while looking at the stars from the little starry lamp. Took an hour but he's asleep!! May have jinxed myself but that after a week of light attempts to have him sleep on his own... I feel this is a step forward.
I'm still around, but with LO more active during the day and the fact that I hate posting from mobile it's harder to do anything more than love-tit.
I hate what the bump gods have done. It's like they've ripped out the soul of this community. It seems like even mentioning the FB or PB groups could be grounds for banning. Not to mention the restrictions on what we can and can't say to each other. I understand trying to keep things civil, but they're in PC overload.
I just joined the FB group and am trying to match up names with screennames. Trivia Crack helps!

I've been lurking for a few months, it got to the point where I didn't want to just jump in since I hadn't posted much and didn't want to be one of those "newbies" that people complained about. I even typed up a few comments only to chicken out and not post. But I'm determined to be brave and post more!
Another lurker here. I read through the threads daily but haven't really posted bc by the time I wanted to, it seemed to be too late. No plans to leave.
I've been a lurker for a while so just officially joined after the craziness of what happened. I don't want to go elsewhere so was hoping that lurkers might resurrect the board if too many people leave. But I sure hope everyone stays somewhat active because I've enjoyed knowing that with other mommas, we are "in this together." Somehow, the crying, sleepless nights, ect seem more manageable when you have others to talk with(or read about) about the experience!
I'm new here and have been lurking for quite a while - I was originally on the December board as due date was 12/5 but ended up having our son on thanksgiving
DS is 7 weeks old and we are struggling a little bit with breastfeeding but otherwise things are going pretty well.
Hi to everyone
I was originally on D14 boards as well and was due 12/5. My LO came on 11/28 so I have been lurking this board quite a bit, too!

Welcome to all the lurkers! Annnnnnddddd samsies on attempting to work from home. It's super hard, trying to find a rhythm.

And hooray for all the other work from home moms who are also finding it impossible if only I could work with one hand on my phone, like I bump.
Also, what are the PRoBoards?
