Hello!

My name is Alyssa and I am due May 29th with my first baby, a boy. I am from Long Island, NY and I just got engaged to my boyfriend of 8 years this past weekend. I couldn't be happy and more excited!

I am so excited to finally be with a group of ladies that have common sense finallyyyy! No more trolls! Woohoo!

Hello! I had lurked the bump since September, and only joined about 2-3 weeks ago. Things went bad and today I decided to join over here as I prefer for people to be realistic with me.

Currently pregnant with #2, who is a girl. I have a 17 month old little girl as well (Peyton).

Oh no! I just posted a quick re-intro!! Sorry! But I'm happy to be here, and to prove it, here's a fucking awesome flamingo.


Edit: Picture posting success! Huzzah!

Hello! I've been lurking over on TB on and off for a while, and figured this was as good a time as any to jump in and post! I'm 28, due May 27 with my first, team green. As others have mentioned, I appreciate the honest and fun community you ladies have built, and I'm looking forward to being more active and getting to know you.

[tomatopie]

Ugh! I did too and I was feeling guilt for posting an into and clogging the thread. But here I am! Woohoo!

[kas24]

Hello everyone, I'm 32, husband is 36 and we are expecting our first child (a girl) on May 7th. 

[saltyh2O]

So, um, hi? I go here now. ?

I also hate the app but am willing to try again (wtf does "token error" mean?)

And plus also, wtf is it doing to the emoji I keep typing?! It's supposed to be winking. Ugh. Love y'all but seriously loathe the freakin app we have to use while mobile.

[cosmicav]

Good idea with this post! I was just angsting on whether it was worth it to create a thread just for the sake of re-introducing myself, and then this popped up.

Anyway... I'm 25, married, and expecting baby #1 (a boy!!) May 20th-ish. Today I realized that this date is exactly 4 months away... wow...

[hellok2010]

I mostly lurked on the bump. I've lurked over here since the first move took place. A little about me I'm 30, teach kindergarten, have a 2 year old son, 14 year old step daughter, and am expecting a baby girl May 3. I've always enjoyed reading the posts and participating at times. I'm hoping to become more active.

[mom2boys2]

I mostly lurked as well. I'm going to give this place a try because I really enjoy reading the discussions that occur within May 15. I am 29, husband is 32, we have a 2 year old son, and due with another son on May 21st. We will likely induce a week early because I am on blood thinner since I had a blood clot early in my first pregnancy.

BTW Im pretty sure you can actually DELETE things here! I know you can fully delete comments (No more "bump burp lol") and I don't see why you wouldn't be able to delete threads too. Just sayin' ...carry on

Haven't you been here for a while!?
There is a sticky at the top of the board with tips for the app.

You can delete things. We're adults here. However, if there's anything fun please QFP for everyone else.

Can you delete an entire thread?  If so how?  I just looked around out of curiosity on a thread I made and couldn't find anything.

FLAMINGOS!!

Hi ladies!

I have been lurking for quite some time and was about to do a late intro on TB when it all went down...I like it much better over here from what I've seen this past week!

I'm 29, married for 1.5 years, and am due 5/4 with our first LO (team green). Looking forward to getting to know all of you. Thanks for creating this new space!

Hola. I made the jump from the bump (that rhymes). Same user name from over there. FTM, due with a girl on May 4. I'll play around with a signature next time I'm on a real computer.

[Deleted]

I posted my own intro thread but I will post here too...I'm 24, married for a year and a half and we are due 5/13 with our first (little girl)! DH is in Navy flight school so our life is unpredictable at best. looking forward to the rest of my time here!

[Poppy]

Bumping for visibility.

[robotpcr]

Welcome! Please, please, please get an avatar if you haven't yet.

[rice098]

Hey guys! Mostly lurked on M15 but did post occasionally. I felt like I had a lot to learn and as a FTM not much to contribute other than T&Ps for most, but I certainly don't want to be a part of the glitter and rainbows it's become over there! I'm 24, with SO for 9 years and expecting our first (a boy!)May 28th. I hope to be more active over here and get to know everyone a little better.

[lolasky]

Hello Ladies,

I'm here now! I'm late, I know. I was going to stay at The Bump just for PAIF--to give back to the infertility community since I received so much help and support from them this summer. I felt bad leaving people who might be struggling behind. Well, kicking out the mods and Naria's message/reality check was the last straw. Hoping to continue to give support when I can here instead

Reminder: I'm MrsLolaSky from TheBump, now just LolaSky. DH and I are early 30s, expecting our first May 15th. We struggled to conceive (MFI) and got really lucky, so here I am! I've enjoyed getting to know you honest and smart ladies, and I look forward to continuing to get to know you.

[honeylemon]

Hello everyone! You're all very welcome. Don't be jerks and we'll all get along just fine.

I'm ramy and can be tagged as @ ramy not @honeylemon!

[Renarene]

Hello! I took the plunge and headed over since obviously The Bump is a freaking disaster.

I did comment on the bump but never started my own posts. I have the same username but a different avatar because my phone put this one in automatically and I'm lazy so I'm keeping it.

I'm a 32 yo accountant with a 9 year old daughter and baby boy on the way. I joined a birth board with my daughter and still keep in touch everyday with about 20 girls that are still left although we are now on a private fb group. We have giant meet ups and it's been an amazing experience. I've been hesitant to completely jump in this time, but when everyone started moving over here I realized how much I was enjoying being part of the board even though I'm not a "regular" this time.

[hconner3]

Hey all,

I have been posting on the bump may for a while. Finally give up on the dump. I am due may 15th! Nice to mee you all.

[smile55k]

Hello ladies. It's good to be back in good company. I'm sorry my avatar and sig are genaric for now. I'll update when my computer is working properly, until then I'm mobile. Same username as TB.

I'm 28, from Wisconsin, have a 2 year old little girl and expecting #2 May 4th!

[animaldoctor]

Hello everybody! I was a couple year lurker/somewhat poster on May 15 and other boards but they have been too boring lately.

Let's see... FTM, due May 4th, expecting a girl! I am a vet and really love my job even if every day is getting more challenging because the animal on my surgery table seems to be getting farther away as my bump gets bigger. I have 2 amazing dogs and a great hubby.

Glad to see everybody here!

[lgutu28]

Damn I did a noobie mistake and posted an intro on the main board instead of cheacking out the posts first. I was just so excited to find everyone! Love me through it..

30 y/o military wife, SAHM to a 21 month girl. Expecting girl #2 on May 31st!

[kate6214]

I'm here. Deleting the TTCAL board was the last straw. Those ladies helped me through some of my worst times.

I was running a checkin on the PGAL board so I will probably be posting a bit still on that board on The Bump but I cant go anywhere near the flaming fire hole that is the May 15 board these days. The repeat posts...naming your son Kadence...throwing your own shower...I just cant do the dumb.

I hope it's ok if I'm in both places at least for now.
