Sigh.

makeoutside7 · July 2015

@mikahla95, there are boards designated for sharing the sex of your baby in TEAMS pink, blue, or green. Congratulations on the girl!

mikahla95 · July 2015

@makeoutside7 okay thank you I was not aware. I don't come on the discussion boards often and thank you!

mikahla95 · July 2015

?

makeoutside7 · July 2015

No problem! Just wanted to tell you before others come on here and yell at you about it. The boards are neat because a lot share gender reveal ideas too. You should go check them out.

mikahla95 · July 2015

Haha yell at me?

We can tell.

Just out of curiosity, you stated you don't come here often. So what made you think starting a new thread to AW your LO would be appropriate??

mikahla95 · July 2015

Pardon?

mikahla95 · July 2015

I don't have any idea what your abbreviations mean

Baa! I was just about to tell you @LSRoo that she is not going to understand this sentence with her being new and all.

mikahla95 · July 2015

Yes, could you explain? Lol

modanz1 · July 2015

AW = Attention Wanted, LO = Little One.

mikahla95 · July 2015

Oh okay, I did it because I am excited and wanted to share the good news obviously! Lol

lisab1234 · July 2015

It is exciting!! Congratulations on your baby girl!!

How were you not aware? How did you spend your lurking time? I suggest you start at the top and read every post. Lurk and learn the ways of this board.

I'm excited that I got a free burger for lunch today, but I didn't start a thread about it. The reason these type of posts are frowned upon are twofold. First we have topics pinned to the top of page 1 dedicated to sharing news about common interests such as sex of the baby news (as someone pointed out already). Second, a lot of ladies start threads looking for much needed advice or support. When other members post their own topic on something that should be on a shared thread, it pushes the aforementioned posts down and ladies in need don't get valuable answers.

If you decide to hang around and participate in the community, familiarize yourself with the search feature for any future questions or topics. There are a lot of great threads with tons of info that you might find helpful.

urby87 · July 2015

Congrats! There are threads stickied near the top of the front page to announce the sex of your baby and discuss name ideas. Additionally, it is highly recommended that you lurk and familiarize yourself with the boards before posting (since you said you don't come here often). That way, you would know that making individual posts about the sex of your baby takes away from other moms who may have important questions and concerns about their pregnancies. We are all excited about our babies, but there are appropriate places to share this type of news, and your own post is not one of them.

mikahla95 · July 2015

Announcement of a baby a the announcement of a free burger a little different don't ya think? Lol

queenwog · July 2015

I thought this was going to be about what we're having for lunch.

Apparently I'm having disappointment for lunch, because this thread is NOT what I thought it would be.

Hashtag vexylicious.

"Announcement of a baby a the announcement of a free burger a little different don't ya think? Lol"

No. Because I don't know you. News from people who post here regularly here MIGHT be interesting.

Free burger is far more exciting for me.

No, not when we see three announcements all at the exact same time hogging up the first page. They're stickied at the top for a reason. People just see the 100's of comments and decide to skip it because their announcement deserves its own thread. Because their pregnancy is so much more important? I'm not really sure.

mikahla95 · July 2015

Your all so serious LOL maybe you need more serious things to worry about in your REAL lives so your not so worried about what others posts LMAO

Yes, they are different because people would be more interested in the free burger as a separate thread because they'd like to know if they can get one too.

Don't get me wrong, we DO understand that you're excited about your baby girl, we really do, and Congrats! @Elyse1384 did a perfect job of explaining why these posts don't go over well, so I won't go more into it now.

This. Are you for real OP? Are you 12?

mamavbs · July 2015

I am having lasagne with garlic bread and salad. Probably a bit of balsamic glaze on the salad. Got a New York cheesecake for pudding and il probably eat 3/4s and let my husband eat the last bit. If he's lucky.

What are you having?

This makes me worried for the preservation of proper grammar in future generations.

To you, yes. To a bunch of Internet strangers? No. We can all understand excitement but I had to scroll quite a ways back to find a post started about a lady who got some potentially upsetting news at her 20 week scan and was reaching out for support and advice. Please know that if we seem like we are jumping down your throat its not anything personal it's just that we have all seen these posts so many times even with designated spots to announce this. I will say congrats though. Team pink will love to hear your news and you may find some fun ways to do a reveal party if that's something you're interested in.

tayzav · July 2015

@mamavbs I'm so beyond jealous! I'm having a damn protein shake! Bleh! I really need to suck it up and go grocery shopping.

Leftover pizza, because I got diagnosed with GD last night and have an appointment to start monitoring tomorrow. My last hurrah.
