Jaykemp Intro

[jaykemp]

Hi all! I posted on the intro thread a few days ago, but then I disappeared. I was floundering a bit in deciding whether to hang out here or give TB another shot. I have a feeling though that I'm just not going to fit in with their new image, so here I am! I'm 23 and have a 10 month old DD, and a 4 year old fur baby named Lilly. We got our surprise BFP Saturday after missing my period but we are so excited to add another little to our family! EDD is June 18th but my dating scan is scheduled for Tuesday afternoon so I'll know for sure then

Congrats!

[sandandsea]

welcome!

[titania]

Hi! welcome! Congrats!

[athn64]

Welcome! We're much cooler than TD, guaranteed.

[frecklesnbrains]

Welcome! I'm also in the process of dumping TB. This place seems way more approachable.

The stupid is almost addicting though. I got flipped out on for pointing out that no one has a bump yet. Oooookay people.

Hi! Welcome! Nice to see you here!!

I mean I don't know about you, but I was soooooooo skinny before this, that poppy seed just sticks right out!!

[ArgyleEnigma]

Hi! I thought about doing both, but the bump is a bit of a fascist state right now. Plus it's so busy!

I am pro-blump, though. I couldn't care less if it's uterus or colon, if it's because I'm pregnant, I award myself full points. At least in theory, as this is my first and I don't look different yet.

Yeh I was on the verge of getting myself banned for snarking too much. I plan on lurking to get some laughs out though. And rock that blump! I am unabashedly rocking my low panel maternity jeans, because comfort trumps all.

[birdhut]

Welcome! I was also lurking on the bump and some of their boards turned me off!

Lol. It just occurred to me that you could tell them "you're full of shit" and it would literally be true.

I just snorted

Yes, blump is definitely real, as is gaining weight from first tri nausea! That happened with my DS. I gained 15 of my 30 pounds in the first trimester and needed maternity clothes early.

Glad you chose to stay here! Welcome and congrats!

[pistachiomuffin]

Welcome!
I'm not showing yet, not even a blump, but I totally felt my baby move today!

[westisleflower]

Welcome!

[frecklesnbrains]

Haha. Yeah I saw that thread *eyeroll*. I agree that TB is too busy. There are like 10x too many users in the BMB... The TTC board was even worse! You have to login multiple times per day to keep up with the threads, and all the interesting ones get squelched by the repetitive nonsense. I'm a FTM but I still don't have much patience for it.

I mean I like the fast pace, but I'm not about having rainbows and butterflies blown up my ass.

Congrats and welcome!

Because you have no blump to cushion you from the movements! Lucky you!

[pbj14]

I just reread it...everyone is so sensitive! Kinda lame. I still read most of the threads, but when I saw the 20th "when are you telling friends & family" I got kinda ehhhh...
