I woke up with incredible/unusual... how do I word this... "ass pressure" this morning. First time I've thought "damn what if I have this kid earlier than scheduled" ummm I'm almost 38 weeks sooo totally possible lol
Anyway, since I can't sleep because fear of impending labor, caught up on some of the drama and just hoping that this whole board doesn't go up in flames while we have our babies. Just wondering if there's a backup plan in case someone decides to turn off TCF or whatever... to come this far and then get cut off right now would be weird
What are people's thoughts about creating a separate proboards forum and just moving there? It would be just our own, we could do password protected or not if we want, and then we could have multiple threads like here and not have to worry that we will just lose each other one day?

I also like that option. I echo starsandshamrocks123's concern that we are all having or about to have babies and it would be nice to know what's going on if something changes.

+1 to being fine setting up our own board; I'm not sure what the chances of the site going completely dark are, but I am concerned. It would really stink if things went dark now, just as we are starting to have babies.
So I created one just in case things go dark here, we all have a place to go. I would say to bookmark it or save it somewhere and we can use it if needed There is nothing set up there such as topics or threads yet, but just really a saving place if needed

I havent been following the thread closely because it's way too much crazy and I have enough crazy going on, so I'm not sure where the idea of the site going dark is coming from exactly, but I'm friends irl with one of the mods and there is definitely no plans of that.

I also don't think the mods have any plans of making the site go black without warning but it is always good to have a back up plan. Even if a ship has not started to sink, the life boats are available if needed.
For the record, with 900 people having created SM accounts and no new people really coming to this site, even if the mods don't plan for the site to go down, it may have no way to stay going.
I will do whatever. My bump group is on Facebook now so I can do that or go to the new board cateyes created. I want to keep in touch!
I am also fine with Facebook. I can set up a group there if people want it. It might be nice to not check two places.
I worry with a FB group we would lose a lot of people and our group isnalready so small. Quite a few have said they would not do FB for whatever reason (privacy, no FB, not comfortable, etc)

I mostly live on the NJCD board. We are still deciding but it looks like we may move to our own place on GBCN. They don't want a huge influx but it's a possibility. You guys could come hang out with us. We usually have a weekly KU check in. They would not want tons of pregnancy stuff outside of that since there are some IF folks there though. We mostly talk about food and coffee. Not diapers. So if nothing else works out feel free to come there, especially after the babies come.
teachermomtobe yes. And my two year old, who behaves better than my 5 yo. No, living in a teeny town means there isn't much to do. Anything going on, I'd have to stay there. Like swim lessons. And some kind of reading club. starsandshamrocks123 he's 5 1/2. But he acts like he's going through the terrible two's. Everything is a fight with him, and so many meltdowns. He's gifted, and no matter what we do can't seem to get him to sleep enough. I'm a sahm and still trying to adjust to living in an extremely rural area, rather than Denver.
Ooh girl I do not envy you. My sister's 6yo is gifted and very high maintenance. All the hugs. Do any of the teachers or whatnot have suggestions on how to help him?

I haven't been very active here lately, but I have been lurking every few days to see if any babies have been born. I created an account on SM and posted there a bit on Thursday, but I can't find some of the boards on Tapatalk, and I'm almost always mobile, so I don't know what I'll do.
Responding to the FFFC's:
I've seen one uncircumcised guy, and it was immediately obvious. He was also the biggest guy I've ever been with...
I too clean up the kitchen and sneak some dessert while DH does bath time. I'm going to miss that time when the baby comes.
My 3 year old will be home with me all summer once the baby comes. We'll have family helping for about the first month, but after that it's all me. I'm nervous!
I skimmed through "the talk" post and I'm kind of buying into the mass mentality that N isn't being honest or fair, so I would rather take my page clicks elsewhere. But I really don't know much about it and know there are a lot of strong feelings in that thread. So I'm perfectly fine staying here, but I also wouldn't mind just going ahead and making the switch to cateye's board. I prefer fb for late night feedings, but I respect those that aren't comfortable with that. My last bmb group had some hard feelings surrounding a split between going password protected and moving to Facebook I don't want that for this group

And it looks like they pissed off the SM admins so much that the SM forum is permanently shut down. So I guess we're staying here for now?
The SM Admins stated the site was having issues prior to our arrival. I think there was a lot of issues prior and we were just the straw that broke the camel's back.
Once the plans to get everyone together again are known I would like to join the rest of the boards/bmbs if y'all are comfortable with that. I hope the dust settles some before we're in the thick of having babies.

Are you referring to moving to like mcbenny's board?
Hey ladies, checking in! I'd where we go but just keep me in the loop. My other bmb is going to mcbennys (a place to meet). I just know how nice it is to have people to talk to that are in the thick of newborn life and the middle of the night threads were a motn sanity saver.

I am looking forward to the middle of the night company so much. Let's get some more babies here
