    Question How did you choose your PIG?

    I have so many people on here I would love to do me this honour, but I have no idea how to decide which one it should be!
    How on earth did you decide??

    i asked my Pig because i knew her in primary school (LOL) and it felt right. other wise i'd have asked one of the lovely chickies in my belly buddys grp.

    ...maybe draw a (user)name out of a hat?

    Google randomizer. Go into your Belly Buddies thread... use the randomizer to come up with a number and then pick the author of that number thread

    I asked my pig as they were someone I was close friends with and saw IRL and I was hers for her 2nd baby so I thought it was a great honour to do for her so would like to recipriocate.

    We partnered up in our belly buddies group. As it turned out no-one announced DS's birth so I ended up doing it myself
    Just pick someone you feel comfortable with & someone that you know will follow through with it, I know when mine didnt follow through I felt invisible or maybe not good enough as I had done theirs, you dont need those extra feelings just after you've had a baby

    Good luck! There are lots of lovely ladies here to choose from!!

    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)

    (Don't forget me Breeze & Eluned if you ever have another ok )

    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

    Re: How did you choose your PIG?

    I've got my BABE in awaiting. I too like BABE as opposed to PIG.

    My BABE and I talk pretty much everyday sharing our TTC rollercoaster of emotions and trying ever so hard to be positive.

    I didn't choose my BABE, I'm pretty sure the universe did

    I havent had the chance to have a PIG since joining BB cause of 2 m/c

    Maybe one day i will get the chance - who knows what the future holds ?

    Also i havent had the pleasure of being a PIG cause i had to leave the 2 Belly Buddy groups i was in...

    But i imagine it would be a wonderful feeling !

    Best of luck making your decision Clover

    I like BABE more than PIG too - although coming up for what BABE could stand for was more difficult than deciding I was going to be a BABE!

    When I was pg, a long long time ago in a galaxy far, far away (well, consider the speed the universe revolves at, we are talking quite a distance really), I asked BW to announce Liebling's debut. I picked BW because we'd been on-line friends before this forum and had planned to TTC and have babies together. Well, not together, with our respective husbands. But both be pregnant, to our husbands, at about the same time. We'd had many a MSN chat about it! It just seemed right to ask her to be a big part of Liebling's early life.
