Where did everyone go?

[lostarz]

I know it wasn't as active as it once was before I went on maternity leave back in February but where did everyone go?  I miss the regulars in our OOTD posts

[house]

I quit my awful nightshift job so I don't have OOTDs anymore. So now I am a full time SAHM taking care of the little one and the house. I either wear a plain tee and shorts or workout clothes with a messy bun.. Still can't fit in most of my pre-pregnancy clothes and I refuse to invest in new clothes so I am out. I just lurk now.

I think we have a lot of new moms and busy people

[kris356]

After the whole smo incident, a lot of people disappeared. It is a sad.

Oh that's right, I forgot about that. It is sad

[blondemoment123]

I miss our regs! I'll take a pic tomorrow.

[thejackpot]

Since I am a SAHM now I feel like my outfits are rather simple. I also workout/walk in the am and never think about taking pics after I get dressed. I do miss you guys and participating.

[fashionx]

I am working PT and SAHM the rest of the time. I'm finally fitting into pre-pregnancy clothes again, but depending on if I am going out or seeing clients, I am not always trying so hard with my outfits. I'm trying to make more of an effort though, I need to hang out here more.

I've also been super busy. I feel like my last month and a half just flew right by.

I wasn't quite as frequent a poster as others but I got a new job and have been insanely busy. I stop by every now and then but there's no chance I have time for OOTD's anymore even though I dress like a real person way more than I ever have. I miss everyone too though!

[ashap]

I've noticed a few of the old posters over on ML. It is really slow over here!!

Short version without the drama: someone sent a bag of dicks (the website is dicks by mail) anonymously. Lots of drama ensued, lots of 25+ page threads, deletes, mass exodus, suspension of the delete function so evidence could be gathered, fights between Married Life and CEP. So much more but that is the super edited version.

If you want to go deeper, search bag of dicks.

I lurk from time to time but between the racist crap from one of the S&B people and then what happened to smo I just lost the desire to post as much.

I do miss what the board once was and miss interacting.

Are you still working in real estate? How do you like it?

[ditzydi]

The racist, then Smo incident, the mass exodus and then my own personal shit. Everything just became too much. I still post in my local and blog but it's mainly been about the adoption and whatever my brain farts out as I think it. I still sometimes post some outfit pics on my IG account.

That's me for sure. I actually am getting dressed up for work a few days a week now and need to jump back into the board ootd's.

[Deleted]

I was probably never a true regular, but I started working from home in December, so my OOTDs are sparse.

[pooh8402]

I miss everyone too! Another new mom here with no energy to dress up (and when I do, I forget to take pics).

The smo situation was so sad. I still can't believe someone would do that.

I found out I was adopted back in March. On my own. I've been dealing with the emotions of it. It's been a total mindfuck

Oh wow, I imagine so. I'm sorry.

My baby is back in the hospital. Been here 32 days this round but who's counting?

My outfits are jeans and t-shirts to sit around the hospital. Not exciting.

I did pop over here a few days ago and wonder where everyone went myself!

Long story short...she has Hirschsprungs Disease, they removed half her colon at 11 days old, she was in the NICU for 38 days. We got to come home for 5 weeks and she started vomiting one day. Went the ER, got admitted for the night for observation. No one could figure out what was wrong. Then the surgery NP did a rectal irrigation as ordered in the morning and perforated her colon so she was rushed to emergency surgery. They ended up giving her an ileostomy bag to divert while she heals. Apparently there was another problem that had popped up after her original surgery that was probably making her sick. So blessing in disguise? Not really I'm still pissed.

She ended up going into septic shock after. Finally recovered got over that and then started having seizures. Poor girl has been through the ringer. She's been seizure free for almost two weeks and they are tinkering with her anti-seizure meds to wean off at least one of them (she's on three). No real reason they could find for the seizures so most likely theory from the neurologist is that her brain got very unhappy with how sick she got.

So in a nutshell...yeah. In a couple months, she will need another surgery to reconnect her intestines.

[kris356]

jenniferl923,

One, she is gorgeous! That hair!

I am glad that seizures have stopped. What a horrible ordeal. Again, I will keep you all in my prayers. ((hugs))

[lostarz]

jenniferl923, what a cutie! I'm so sorry your family is going through this, poor baby I'll be keeping you in my thoughts!

[house]

jenniferl923, prayers for your little one and your family! Poor thing, what a rough life already.. I hope she gets well soon!
