Hi and happy weekend. Obviously a fair few people on the intro thread we pinned all those months ago aren’t posting anymore. I’m hoping they’re well, having an occasional glance at the board and knowing we’re here to chat if you want. *waves* I know some people are continuing to have a rough time with NICU stays and challenging illnesses etc. so this isn’t a ‘stop lurking and come play’ post, just a ‘hi’. So if you wanna chat - let’s talk The Handmaid’s Tale finale (or you know, anything... Give us an update on how you are?) ** caution - possible spoilers!! **

I watched it! I was pretty surprised by parts in it (when does that show not throw us a curve ball though)
I’m very interest in what will happen to June now. Also will Emily keep the baby or try to find Moria and the husband ? Also did aunt Lydia die? (Unlikely)
I have lots of questions and thoughts haha

birkmmm yay let’s discuss! Yes I think they’ll keep aunt Lydia alive. She’s a good character. Also, I wish they’d just kill off Fred! I just thought the end was a bit silly: I get that June wants to stay and destroy Gillead but I feel like she should have kept the baby safe and done it from the outside. Shes no closer to getting Hannah on the inside either. She’s tough, but no one could believably pass up the opportunity to get out. Especially when she was almost able to leave when she was in labour and she clearly planned to go. I hope Emily is still in it after she’s out. I also hope the husband and Moira and more of the people on the outside are in it next season, I thought that was really interesting.

I agree i can’t really see the show without Aunt Lydia.
Fred is getting worse and worse .... I thought for a while he would maybe not end up being the worst but nope he’s literally the worst. I can’t believe how he has treated Serena. I almost feel ..... bad for her? I think she help was a huge part of creating all that but did not realize how terrible things would be. Clearly things haven’t been great for her either.
I was kind of like “TWF JUNE!” When she didn’t leave, like you said she is no closer to getting Hannah and is really screwing herself since she “kidnapped” Nicole

I'm going out to stay at my moms place the next 2 nights because of heat, so I stayed up and watched that shizz. Man that was hard to watch, and also wtf. I hope she has a seriously good plan going on. I definitely think Emily is going to bring the baby to Luke and Moira though. I'm so happy she's getting out at least. Poor girl has been through way too much, even compared to the typical handmaid.

Hola! I've been largely absent after having my DD in May. I had a really hard time with the new newborn stage and kind of avoided the group because it was too much for me. My H was gone for a lot of it and it was really, really hard to adjust to parenting two alone. Unfortunately/fortunately, I'm already back at work so now I have more time to play.
Quick update- My DD is 11 weeks yesterday, and cute as can be. Nursing is going well, but pumping is a pain. I was just in a wedding for one of my friends over the weekend, and had to pump every 3 hours while on a girls trip. That was quite an ordeal, but I came home with 96 ounces even after dumping anything I pumped while drinking. (I know you don't have to dump, but I had to fly home with it all so it was easier.) This is my second week back at work. I miss her so much, but it is nice to get into a routine again.

Yay for routine and getting more time to play!
