Announcements: when? And let’s see them!

gabgood22 · June 2018

Hey mamas! I’d love to see everyone’s announcements and hear at what point people are making it public on social media! Husband and I are trying to wait but so excited! I can’t wait to post!

*yawns* We already have an announcement thread, look for that one instead of starting a second. Also, read the ***READ FIRST*** thread. Introduce yourself in the Intro Thread. Etc.

Edited to add: Gabrielle, stranger danger is real - recommend removing your name from sensitive info made public. Also there is an ultrasound thread for those photos.

I’ve deleted the pic and won’t be returning to the group. I was just excited to share. Sorry to bore you @echo-charlietango !

You're the WORST, @echo-charlietango!

@clbness She's basically the mean girl of the board. It's a wonder more of us haven't been scared off.

clbness · June 2018

It's true. I've tried leaving...but she threatened me.

Hehe!

After replying I went out for a donut and a mocha. Best post-nap snack ever!

@coco2787 I appreciate you pointing the OP to the appropriate thread using the link.

@gabgood22 I hope you continue to post. Just know that some folks take board organization and rules very seriously. My original BMB imploded a couple of times because of just plain nastiness and cattiness (I'm not calling PP either of these things; this is just an anecdote), and towards the end of our pregnancies, we were left with a solid group of ~16 on the forum. We still have a very active private board. It's been amazing to have them this whole time, and many of us have met IRL. Anyway, just saying, stick around and try to ignore the snark if it's not your thing (it is some people's thing and that's okay too). It'll pay off!

*Not WKing for OP.* However, duplicate posts happen, especially when it’s something that’s been buried for a week. Usually they are just turned into gif parties. That may be a better way to go in the future since we are trying to get the board more (rather than less) active? Redirect link, funny gifs, be well John Spartan and all that? Just a thought.
