I overheard my boss telling my coworker that maybe he will plug me into a new task that needs done by my last day since said coworker is out next week. Dude, you bitch all the time about how inefficient it is to change staff throughout projects (so if I start it, I clearly won’t be finishing it), I have very little experience writing these type of reports so again not efficient, and just wtf?! What if I go into labor next week?!

I looked at the J/F18 board and they had daily randoms. I feel like our board can be very slow. I hope we have more to talk about when these babes are all here!

I’m with you, the board is slow. I try and check in as much as I can. I finally got the app on my phone so that will help. I’ve only been around at work so I know I’ll be more active.

This board is definitely slow. How many active posters do you think there are?

I didn't become super active on my last bmb until maternity leave because then I actually had time to catch up (and you can have conversations at odd hours since chances are someone else will be awake at the same time). Then I was in the habit so I posted more when back to work too. I kinda expect the same thing to happen this go around too.

Anyone order a breast pump yet? I have a Medela from last time that worked fine and is still around here somewhere but I have been reading about the Spectra. Since insurance will pay, I plan on ordering something. I will be home for 20 months so I won't need to pump that often but I want to try because my last kid resisted bottles and food and and had to go to feeding therapy. Want to try to make sure this kid is ok with bottles.

Want to try to make sure this kid is ok with bottles. I got the Spectra because I had read good things about it. It’s still in the box. I probably should break that baby out! I used the Medela last time, too and didn’t have much luck with it, but my supply was terrible in general. Hoping this time works out better.

We went to L&D after I called the advice nurse. Still only -1 station. 50% effaced, and 1cm dilated. Lost my plug though, so things are happening....

Unless one breaks?? Is there a timeframe that is too late to get it covered?

I think when the mods decided to have two month BMBs, it was a good idea. More people, more activity. Looking forward to the 2am mid-feed postings! 😜

I get zero cell reception in my work building and this site is blocked at work. But now I’m home until probably April so I’m sure I’ll be around more.
Also never in my life have I ever wanted to wipe and see some kind of bleeding more than now. I had some spotting earlier but I had a cervix check today so I’m just going to blame it on that.

I pumped 4x/day for 9 months last time due to work...not looking forward to that part again.

Hello, wide awake at 430am... Been awake since 3 (est). The only plus is that this is my last day of work this week before Thanksgiving. Just need to make it until 2:30.....

Thankfully I was able to fall back asleep after about 45 minutes, but it felt like 5 when my alarm went off at 630. Full day plus a doc appointment, but there are fewer and fewer people around my office so if I need to close my eyes for 20 minutes... 😉

Whoops sorry all. I wasn't clear. I was sent home and told not yet, but probably soon. I have a follow-up today so we'll see if anything more is going on.

Hola!!! This board is definitely slow but I'm guilty of just playing on the general board since there's so much action.
Doc apt today. I'm hoping for a quick ultrasound to check position but really so I can see him. I haven't seen him since 20 weeks!

I'll be stalking you today, kensie5226 ! I think our BMB was hit particularly hard by the change in site location. We had just barely come together as a group when it all went down - I'm sure there were new people or lurkers who decided it wasn't worth the move, since we hadn't really gelled yet.

typo31, I'm afraid that might be boring. I'm at work, and nothing seems to be happening. False alarm.
