Intro - Do we do this?

[shinytoys]

Does this board do intros?   I haven't done one since I think the bump...which was about 5 years ago. 

Anyways, during the mass exodus I went to another goodbye cruel bump site but have been lurking over here. 

Baby boy is due June 15.

I'm gaining weight like it's no ones business. 

My mom's friends are insisting on a baby shower.  This is my second baby.  I feel so embarrassed about it, but when I tried to argue it...no one paid a damn bit of attention.  

I have a daughter who is a complete and utter joy...excluding a few moments here and there (like when she throws things at me).   


I think that's it.

Hi!

[periwinkledaydreams]

Welcome!

If you want an opinion: I think if people insist on throwing you a second shower, even after explaining that you do not care for the idea, all you can really do is graciously accept and thank everyone genuinely. Perhaps request that at least they do not invite the same people who were at your first. If the refuse to accommodate even that, all you can do is explain to those people if you feel inclined. Sounds like it is out of your control, which I know SUCKS, but you have no reason to feel badly about it!!!

Thanks so much for this.  It just isn't my style and feels so awkward.

I was thinking the exact same thing.  You would think one of us would have heard of it by now.

Hi, nice to meet you shinytoys.

Oh, I wouldn't consider that another goodbye cruel bump site because my understanding was that the nest had its own unrelated mass exodus before the dump.  But I was never on the nest so someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

That's correct.   I should have clarified from the get go....


I personally just lump it all as one, in my mind, in the sense of sites outside of the bump/nest caused due to exoduses. 

Edited for clarity, I hope.
