I was wondering if it was too late to join the party? I'm 33 weeks along, due on July 11th! I feel like I'll be pregnant forever at this point, so it'd be fun to be able to commiserate with others
More about me - I'm Becki and I'm 28 years old. I've been married to my husband for 3 years and we have a little girl who just turned 3 a week ago. Our life is pretty full but we're excited to welcome our second little girl this July. We live in Gilbert, Arizona and I am not looking forward to the heat this summer while on maternity leave, but I'll have to get creative!
Hope everyone is having a good Memorial Day weekend!
Welcome! I personally don't think it's too late to join in. However this community is very tight with a lot of ladies who have been active since the beginning. I would start with the randoms thread and go from there.
Welcome! Just jump on in and participate in the many daily/weekly threads we have.
If you are due July 11 that means your ticker change day is Monday -- so post on Monday's thread for that and start getting to know people. Randoms and Symptoms threads are good too. Right now we have Weekend Bishfest so go there to vent about whatever this weekend.
There's a chance to come complain or ask questions pretty much daily within a recurring thread. We like keeping the board organized with those, rather than everyone starting a thread for their own question all the time. The recurring threads are also communal spaces to support each other. Hope to see you there!
Welcome! I don't think it's late to join but like PP said, I would encourage you to participate in the daily threads/weekly threads by contributing and showing support. This is a pretty tight knit community but once people get to know you, we are actually very welcoming
This gave me the kickstart I needed to finally get out from the lurking/creepy stalking shadow that I have been in since November.
My name is Lene, I'm 30 yo and expecting a baby boy July 16. This will be our first child. I live in Norway, with my houseband and work as a second language teacher for adult immigrants.
I am sorry for not contributing earlier, but I hope to make up for this. And I apologize for the overwhelming amount of spelling errors, norwegian is alot easier.
Welcome! Just echoing PPs, we love organization on this BMB. Check out our weekly randoms thread and symptoms thread, as well as the daily threads-lurk around more or jump right in! We have some awesome supportive ladies here. We're glad to have you
Omg the responses from you ladies made my day! Sorry it took me so long to get back - weekends both my kid and husband are home so I spend a lot of time, not on the computer haha.
Thanks for the tips on getting to know everyone I joined a "May Moms 2013" group on Facebook back in 2012 and I'm still close with many of those women, so I completely understand the close nit community. I hope I can eventually fit in!
