ThankfulSnail - I would go with the first ones because I don't do backless in general, but especially not at the office (even if others do). I think they're a little more dressy so can go up or down with whatever you're wearing.
Not pregnancy related at all, but I'm trying to find some cute sandals on a budget. Which of these do you prefer? I want a pair I can wear with shorts and a t-shirt on the weekend but also with skinnies and a top or with a casual dress during the week at my (casual) office.
I have the first ones and love them. They aren't suuuuuper comfortable for a long day/lots of walking (the straps dig in a bit on me) but they're really cute and versatile.
TTC since July 2014. CP March 2015. IVF #1 March 2016, 5R, 3M, 2F with ICSI. Transferred 2 on day 3. CP. Surprise BFP and then CP August 2016 (prep cycle for IVF). IVF #2: zero eggs retrieved IVF #3: 6R, 5M, 5F, 3 (2 8A and 1 11A) transferred, one "B" graded embryo frozen on day 5. BFP (at home 7dp3dt, confirmed 14dp3dt with 1552 beta) and U/S at 5w5d, 2 sacs and 2 yolks!
You guys. I just invited another prego momma out on a girl date. I'm so nervous! 😂🙈
Ahhh!! HAVE SO MUCH FUN!
She hasn't responded to my message yet. I hope she doesn't think I'm crazy! I've only met her like twice but our boys are due three days apart and she seems super cool.

That's more than I'd do. I can't make adult friends as a childless human, let alone with actual tiny humans. :(
I come here most days to read, but usually only jump in if I've got something relevant to add to the conversation that hasn't already been said. I'm currently pregnant, but didn't get around to playing with y'all on GKU before conceiving this baby, so I don't feel like I really "fit in" here. From an outsider's perspective, this board is very much a GKU Grads board - at least for GKU grads who are currently pregnant. Perhaps a weekly grad randoms thread here would be the way to maintain your current friendships after having your babies? However you go about it, I hope that you can find a way to continue having this sense of community well after your babies are born.
Feel free to ignore my input or kindly tell me to fuck off... ;)
ILY amc! You should play with us. Use me as a segue to meet these awesome ladies. <3

I was barely on GKU. Some people recognize me from there but many won't. It's been nice to jump in here and become part of the group.
I hope we're not scaring others away who weren't part of GKU and want to play!
Ramamarshian Logically I know I'd be welcome here, but I've been fortunate to have found a good sense of community on both of my BMBs, so due to time constraints, I can only keep up and fully participate in so many places. It's a little late in the game for me to jump in here now, seeing as I'm in my last week of this pregnancy, but I'm sure I'll be lurking everywhere when I'm up with this baby MOTN.
I'm sad that people aren't fitting into their BMBs. Come play on May!
This makes me sad too. I love my J15 BMB. Seriously don't know how I would've survived DS's first year without them, especially with MH being deployed for 9 months of it!
One of the downsides of this being a smaller community than TD is that the BMBs are also getting smaller. Based on the demographics of those who moved over here during the exodus, the new BMBs are made up of a higher percentage of STMs+, which I'm sure is making it even harder for the FTMs to feel like they fit in. During my first pregnancy, I had a hard time relating to the BTDT moms on my BMB, but their experience and advice have been a godsend to me ever since my son was born.
Add me to the group that is sad people don't jive with BMBs. My loss BMB (August 16) is one of my havens and October 17 is shaping up to be another good group, too. They've been exactly what I needed, both in pregnancy and loss, both times.
Okay...she read and didn't respond. Now I feel like a huge loser. And a little bit embarrassed.
Maybe she's using the "rules" for dating in friendship cultivating?!
It's so hard to make friends as a adult...literally any person who shows me the smallest kindness, I try to eagerly incorporate them into my life, with varying levels of success.

If you lived near me, I'd be your friend
Distance is a bitch. I have so many wonderful, amazing girlfriends but they are scattered all throughout the country. I live in my college town, but most of my friends moved away, or they were friends I made while living and teaching in other states.
These questions are in honor of me planning to go to the mall at lunch.
The Gillian and O'Malley brand at Target makes great tanks! I have a link for one of the best nursing bras (especially for the first little bit while your supply is regulating). It is SOFAKING soft and cozy as well as easy to access! I got it on Amazon. I will go find it tonight. Otherwise my favorite ones now are by Bravado. I got those online too, on their site. I highly recommend waiting till 6w PP to get them because your size can change a lot!

Me too. I grew up in VA, went to college in CA, and now live in MA. Everyone is scattered to the four winds. And my best friend here is CBC and barely tolerates kids...so, I'm scared of what I'll do for friends with the aliens arrive.

My BFF is childless by circumstance, but just in a totally different place in her life right now. Single, still very much doing her own thing. She will love my son like her own child but it will definitely affect our friendship. Even me being pregnant has changed things a little.
