PSA! Zulily has Baby K'Tan's on sale right now for the next 2-3 days! If I didn't already have one I'd buy one now because it's a much larger color selection than what I've ever seen.
I've updated my profile picture finally! Nothing special but the last one just reminded me of my losses and seemed sad to me..even though it was the standard image given by the Bump. I've gone for just random paint bright and colorful
Just lurked the December BMB and it looks like they already have a FB group! I feel like that's a little premature, but just a feeler for what timeframe everyone else is thinking about making the move?
@marebear15 I feel like that board there isn't that much activity so maybe that's why they put it up so early. I feel it divides the group a bit no? Maybe I'm wrong! I've never done a facebook group before haha
@marebear15 true, it is much easier for me to be "bumping" while at work haha. We will definitely try out something before maternity leaves start since I know it can be so hard on mobile.
Maybe let's wait until summer ends and if anything picks up here or if that will make a difference at all?
I'm not really on Facebook, so when people jump, that kills my involvement. I'd be more involved here, if work would just slow down. Don't they know they're interrupting my bump time? 😁
With the f17 ladies we went to a private group here first around maybe the october then the fb private group in novemberish? we also had a split in the fb group a year in & we all moved to the new group bar maybe 4 or 5 who really brought the group down & made others feel like they couldnt participate cause they were bitches. anyways, all that to say, its waaaaaaay too early for fb just yet
Lmao @marebear15 I’m like 30% nervous about a FB group because of the S17 one 😬 But I agree that I’m on Facebook much more often than The Bump.
Also. Sorry to be MIA. Today has been rough. I’m worried I’m getting sick and really don’t want to have to go to the ER. (Military system, primary doc won’t touch me, acute care at Women’s Center fills up fast. So they send everyone to ER which seems crazy to me)
My May 16 group went to a private FB group shortly after births because the bump app sucks sometimes. We started the FB group with probably a little over 100 ladies but then had a mass falling out over some pretty significant issues and now we're at a tight 75ish. It's a really great group now. ❤
@MrsJessS - Yeah I have that in the back of my mind too.
I'd be okay with a PG for a month or two, and then a move to FB right around the end of November, beginning of December. I wouldn't want to do it too close to the holidays because we might have people drop off the Bump during Christmas and then come back and realize they missed out on the hop. At any rate, that's months away, I just wanted to put out a feeler and see what people thought!
@MrsJessS@marebear15 was there a lot of drama on the s17 group?
With ours, once we kicked those few out after a year, its such a lovely, supportive, fun group! We even did secret santa this year past!
@leprechaunlady - About a year after we moved to FB, we had a group split. We only had around 30 members to begin with, and they separated into two groups.
@marebear15 im sorry, that sucks 😢
We have 40 in our group & id say about 20-30 of us a daily chatters & the rest just dip in & out which is all good too.
Now I just want it to happen again. I'm super tempted to poke her (lightly of course) to see if she'll do it again. But I know that's probably not gonna happen LOL
@stashattack that's so awesome!!! 😍 I still haven't felt a thing lol
Regarding the FB thing, I don't know what typical protocol is but it seems too early now. I think November would be good because @marebear15 makes a good point about the holidays and I wouldn't want anyone to come back to an empty board and feel like they entered the twilight zone or something lol
Hooray @stashattack! I am getting some but they're still super faint and it's hard to say for sure.
I think November would be good for Facebook. I almost feel like splits are inevitable when TB groups move to private or FB but this group has been so drama-free so far that maybe it would be an exception I love TB but it's just so glitchy that I am not able to participate as much as I'd like, so hopefully I'll make the FB cut at all!
I'm such a no drama llama I think I would have a hard time here if there was a bunch of board drama. It is somewhat worrisome to hear all of your horror stories 🤪
Yay @stashattack!! I'm still waiting but also not really sure what to feel so it might be a while 🤷
It shocks me that there was any drama in your groups. Like what can you even argue about? I still haven't felt any flutters, but I'm trying to be attentive to notice it.
@c1kc1kpol1cn1k how did you manage to change your photo? I've tried many times but only through the app. Do I need tobe on the desktop version?
@leprechaunlady since my May 16 group has been together approaching 4 years now, we've also participated in Secret Santa & Christmas card exchanges and we do a birthday exchange for the babies of our group for their May birthdays. It's pretty awesome how a group can become so close!

I'm down with w/e for moving to facebook. I'm over there way more often and it's way less glitchy, unless and update is being pushed LOL.
