    Took me a while to figure out what PIG was when i first started, i saw it under someones signature & thought gee thats a bit rude LOL

    I chose TD as we had already exchanged numbers and she's like family to me! Always pirking me up whilst TTC and got just as excited as me when i got my BFP so easy choice..

    aww Breeze i felt bit sad for you when i read this cause here's me on the other end who can't have anymore children other than my one beautiful DD and wonder why no one would ask me as i would be just so darn super excited let alone be deeply & truly honoured, for me it would be a gift as i will never experience the joy of another bub and to be someone's PIG would be as close as i could get to my own excited if i was having another bubba IYKWIM and believe me the announcement would be done with a lot of love for a bubba i may or may not meet but the being able to do it would be such a JOY and i'd be one proud PIG (and i know the new Mumma would really like my announcement as i'd make sure i'd do a fab job of it)
    Aww smiles - that made me cry!! - i know now who i'll be choosing should i be blessed with bubba #2

    With DD1 we paired up in our belly buddy thread - so I was hers, she was mine.

    With DD2 I wanted Sarah H to be my PIG because we had similar journeys with our births and I absolutely adore her. I was so excited when she called me after I had Eden.. it was the first time we had talked on the phone.. bahahahahahaha!!!!!

    I'm not sure why the others asked me - I offered to be Sunshine's because she didn't have one, and we always chat on FB together and she's an awesome chick

    Plus - is there anyone else who is on BB as much as me?

    I had Maz with DD2 as we talk both online and on the phone reguarly. She will also be announcing DD3's arrival.

    I have noticed, unless I've just not looked properly, no-one's actually posted a BA thread for their PIG partner, just posting in the Buddies thread. I thought doing a proper BA was the point of having a PIG?
    Maz announced DD2's arrival by posting it in the BA thread. I think she may have posted in my buddies thread, can't remember though.

    Thats great Smiles4u Sadly the chances of me having another bub is very very slim but if I do in the future I'll make you my PIG too smiles

    I hope you're coming close to choosing a PIG clover...... Maybe you could ask a few so whoever gets online first does it??

    Haha, I've already been informed who is doing my BA if my time ever comes - I hadn't considered it before, I was focussing on the whole 'get pregnant' thing! She just voted herself in, so I suppose if it comes to that time I'll hafta get her number so I can let her know

    I'm not a fan of PIG though, I noticed someone was a BABE - Birth Announcement Buddy Extraordinaire! I much prefer that

    My PIG for DD3 was chosen because we were belly buddies for a second time and I had the privilege of meeting her IRL.

    No-one's actually asked me to be their PIG - I asked cherished1 if she wanted me to be her PIG and she accepted
    to the other lovely ladies
    I never remember asking anyone to do mine, someone asked me and I said 'Sure, would be great' (I'm pretty sure it was Amber )

    ~breeze~ - I'd want you to do my next one - if there ever is a next time!

    No one was my PIG for DS - I just popped on the internet on DH's phone and wrote a quick BA while still in hospital.

    And so far I haven't been anyone's PIG - but hope to one day .

    Honey, if there was ever a chance I was going for #4 (which at this point of time there isn't) you would FOR SURE be my P.I.G.

    someone was a BABE - Birth Announcement Buddy Extraordinaire!
    That was Lady Zaidie, for Paradise Lost although sadly for us it seems Paradise Lost has moved on and she won't get to fulfil her BABEly duties
    In my case the Bear was my PIG - although in those days I don't think it had an official name. He was an active member so it was a bit of a no-brainer really.
    I am lucky enough to be Post-It Pixie for a very special person but that is because I barged in and offered!! However I am very honoured and will put it in my sig.... one day soon.
