GTKY: Meet the Lurkers!

[Lola]

Hi!! Ive seen that there are a few people logged in that are lurking, and wanted to say hello! Come out and join us! I swear we dont bite. Maybe it will be easier if I throw out some questions?Answer if you want. Or dont. Just say hello! 

Did you join us from TD? 

Do you Amazon? What's your must-have?

Do you put mayonnaise on anything? (Hot dogs??)

Is your LO up all night? 


Please, join us! We need more excitement on this board!

[bigrock74]

Ya, c'mon out of hiding

[littlemissmarla]

Come and play.. especially if you know of good shit on Amazon!

[walterjenne]

Hi! I'm mostly a lurker just because I'm always on mobile. I've been around since December of 2013 on TD but chime in occasionally.

Usually I am late to the party and any advice or comments have already been said. This is why I don't usually chime in. I also can't figure out how to post pictures so I haven't participated on the LPT threads.

We buy most stuff from Amazon. I must say you ladies have been the catalyst for many baby purchases. Our newest addition was a pop up tunnel and P loves it! The cat does too and we've used it as a barricade to furniture we need to keep P out of.

No mayo on anything except deli sandwiches but DH puts it on everything. He also agrees that Miracle Whip is gross and it's only allowed if I'm using in for broccoli salad.

P is up at least once but sometimes 2 or 3 times. Luckily it isn't for long usually although last night he thought it was time to party at 3 am and was up for an hour.

Okay, I'm going to go back to lurking but I will try and chime in more. You ladies have kept me sane through all of this first time mom stuff, so Thanks!

You can use tinypic to upload pictures! I use the second link it gives and just copy and paste it to the board. Hope that helps!

We've got a biter!!! 

Edit: fishing reference, I just realized that needed clarification given the times of teething.

Hi walterjenne! That pop up tunnel sounds fabulous! Do you have a link?

This is the one we got. It is about 4 and half feet which means it doesn't take up the whole room. Its probably about 18" tall so an adult fitting all the way through isn't going to happen. But P seems to like it and so do our animals. We also haven't put the end pieces on but that will come when he gets a little older.

Ooh, that's cute. And a great idea. I always love things that don't replicate a toy we already have.

Officially on Amelia's wish list.

YAY! Im glad you're here and participating! 

[walterjenne]

Thanks ladies! I will try and participate more instead of hiding in the shadows.

I'll bite..

I followed everyone over here from the bump. I'm kinda the same as the post above--I'm usually on my phone at work, most likely pumping my life away, when I come on. These forums have provided answers to my questions and some damn good entertainment for the past 18 months, but I've never jumped into the convos because I don't get on often.

I've got a J14 baby girl. She is not up all night, she actually is a great sleeper. (I hate telling people that though, I feel like an AHole if their baby is still waking up a ton!) Except the other night, she got up 4 times. Ugh.

Mayo. Woof!

I do love Amazon. Especially prime. My last purchase was a baby hiking backpack. We liked it more than the baby.

Thanks for posting the questions, it was a good way to lure me in because I never know what to write on these damn things!

[bigrock74]

shmi, Welcome! Was your name the same over on the bump?

You should bite more often! Or we'll bite you!

[bigrock74]

[shmi]

Haha, and this is yet another reason I don't post.. I don't know how to do any of those funny gifs!!

My name was MeganHoyt on the TheBump, which carried over from The Knot when I got married bigrock74. I wasn't able to ever change it.

[bigrock74]

It's ok, i just learned how to gif.

If you're on a mac I can help, if you're on a phone you'll have to ask someone else

[honeybee434]

Welcome to you all! Please don't go back into lurker land! Stay and post

Obviously I  knew what she meant but I read it that way too.

[honeybee434]

+3 For having to reread the baby backpack line. I figured mine was just lack of sleep. Ha.

Gahhhh I thought she was just being a smart ass! Derp!

I still don't get it :-( hangs head. She's just being silly right?

She meant the baby didn't like being in the back pack! Took me SOOO long!

How
Is her reflux? Has it gotten any better?

You remember me @zerozeroone! I feel special thank you for asking!
Her dr adjusted her reflux meds & it has been so much better. It did not, unfortunately, help much with her sleep. I may be crazy, but I just spent around $150 ordering an essential oil kit to make her a sleep cream my friend recommended... Clearly I'm desperate & willing to try anything.

I remember you too!! Refluxers (not a word) unite!

[doublethefun]

I am a big lurker. I have posted a few times but always being on mobile I read some and catch up but then never post. Not sure why. Anyways....

I did come over from TD. I again added in some but not much.

Oh Amazon, how I love thee. My latest purchase was an organizer for the back of my seat in front of LO in the car. We keep an extra bottle and dry formula pack and necessities there just in case we need to make a quick run. Then don't have to pack or grab her diaper bag.

No bueno on the mayonnaise. I am a mustard girl all the way.

LO is a good sleeper, crazy sleeper as in already mumbles in her sleep and likes to see how many times she can spin all the way around.

I will try to start adding in more. But yeah I am with the others I am always so late to the convo, you guys have already hit my points

[Lola]

Yay im so glad you guys are participating! @jane2614, doublethefun Feel free to jump in any time (especially on the random, you could talk about anything!)

[sj]

Hi- just registered today!

Did you join us from TD? No, from GBCN

Do you Amazon? What's your must-have? Yes, constantly. I do S&S for all our household staples. Most recently I went on a baby book buying binge due to a great sale

Do you put mayonnaise on anything? (Hot dogs??) NOTHING. I hate mayo.

Is your LO up all night? No. She CAN sleep through the night, but often wakes 1-2 times. At least they are short wakeups?

[Lola]

I didnt know we had people here from GBCN. Welcome sj!
