I am so skeptical hippo about the mass influx of lurkers coming out in the last 36 hours. It's bizarre, at least in my head.
You're not alone...
Not even a little alone. But I *can* understand that if you're going to decloak, now would make the most sense. It'll be way weirder in 6 months when someone's like 'I've been following for over a year, but decided to finally come out.'
But yes, weird. There's a LOT of lurkers! Also I think anytime lurkers decloak after any sort of drama, we're already on alert & extra skeptical. If they're really lurkers & they have bad intentions, they are fully aware they will be eaten alive.
Also, I'm not surprised there are so many lurkers, but I figure if they took the time to come over here they are probably mostly good people.
And I am of the opinion that the new place will still get new lurkers, new randos, and plenty of legit new members in the fullness of time. Not as often as on the bump, but this place isn't a closed group. I love the fact that google doesn't seem to easily return stuff from here though.
I like to think that we are starting something great here.
Sorry for all the rough nights. A had decent one, but i didn't... makes it hard to track my bbt..... would the 5 steps to the bathroom (where i left it. ... oops) really throw it off that much?
codypup you made me want timmies now lol.... i wonder if i can convince dh to go for me
I chart too (for prevention right now). I have been terrible the last couple months for this reason. If you're up at 3am for an hour, is your temp invalid? Half the time I forget to even take it if I've been up crazy.
It's our first solo Saturday of the 2015 busy season. MH is a public accountant, so shit gets real for the next 4 months... rmandatory Saturday office face time for staff, which means managers look like asses if they don't show, too. Last year when DD was bitty he did a lot more from home, but back to business as usual.
I know this has been asked but I can't find it... how do we lovetit mobile again?
I think my baby is broken. He's had a couple hurling episodes this week (but from coughing not true puke). He's got mild diarrhea & he's been really lethargic & clingy. No fever, has periods of acting normal... it's not pedi worthy right now, it's like he's trying to get sick (or fight it off). I just hope 2 days of momma snuggles cures whatever is wrong with him!
We have a "cold" front this weekend that I am so excited about. Low temperatures are finally in the 50s. It finally feels (a little bit) like winter. The nice temps are also good for our family photos/cake smash photos are on Monday. Last time we took photos it was in August and we were dying in the heat. It will be a nice change!
I am also very excited for our "cold" front. I had to turn on a space heater in DD room last night because anything below 75 she wakes up screaming, definitely a SFL baby.
I have to take 2 of our three animals to the vet this morning. Just check ups and whatnot. At least H is in town so I don't have to schlep LO too. Then we are going to a get together tonight to play cards against humanity. Should be fun.
I'm not going to lie, in real life I'm such an awkward bird. It's hard for me to make new friends. I have a few really good friends for a long time, but we are all at such different stages in our lives. I did meet a new friend at LO's daycare (the one who told me about TB) but it's still kind of new. Heck, we just started texting each other last week. Anyways, it was so intimidating to come out of hiding and say hi. It just felt like the right time whenever y'all moved.
I just got back from walking the dog and it looked like all the cars in my neighborhood that are parked on the 'wrong' side of the street have tickets. I didn't even know that was enforceable in a neighborhood.

Omg I want to TP my DH. I was supposed to sleep in this morning but couldn't. I told him I was still going to use my time on the computer. LO keeps coming up to me and DH is just laying on the couch. I know I could move upstairs but the laptop won't keep a charge and that would involve unplugging and too much work!
rondackhiker, house hunting is the best! I hope you find something that you love.
tangerinemachine, I agree with the others that you should wait to see the baby. Coming from a germaphobe, I would be living in abject terror for a week if someone had come to visit me and my newborn when people in their house were sick. Please don't do it.
... by the time I got to page 4, that's all I could remember. I'm not firing on all cylinders today. We had another really rough night here. The good news is, it wasn't the WCM because we didn't have any yesterday and we still had the same kind of night, so yay for that. But now that means its more than likely teething which suuuucks. LO only has two teeth over here so we still have lots more to go ... but I want sleep! :::weeps into her coffee cup:::

I'm sorry A is broken. I think he just wants extra mommy snuggles so he's staging it to where he's just sad enough for that but not dramatic enough to warrant the pedi getting involved. A, you're brilliant! But seriously, feel better little dude.
I agree with mamosey, we're in a new place and if people followed us over, I'd rather have them participate. I know it's a lot change at once, but it'll be good.
Good morning! I wanted to check in before my busy day started. DH is on baby duty today while I go get my nails done, get a spray tan so I'm not pasty white the first day in Mexico, and then go out to dinner with my girlfriends. Should be a fantastic day! Then tomorrow I'm on duty while he goes fishing. A fair trade, I'd say!
I like @frenchtoast 's name, but it keeps reminding me of our goat lady... However, I don't think goat lady could make an AE to save her life, so we're good!
Good morning. I'm just drinking my coffee and trying to wake up. We have Christmas with my in laws today. The absolute last thing I want to do is celebrate Christmas- especially people who didn't have time for their only grandchild's Christmas until today. I will be drinking lots of wine tonight.
7 pages already?! This is why I never post in the randoms, it takes awhile to catch up and if I skim I know I'll miss something! So hiiiii all, hugs to @joybaby, and yay for warm running weather armfruit! I'm on my way out too-hoping to do 4 miles today!

Did anyone watch Twin Peaks? I saw something about Showtime re-making or continuing the story or something. I'm excited and will be re-watching on Netflix soon.

I'm sorry. That does sound stressful. I hope the day goes smoothly and you have plenty of wine!
I posted sporadically during pregnancy but went into lurkdom for most of the past year because the longer I went without posting, the weirder it felt to jump back in. I promise I'm not an asshole, or an ae.
