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!!
Thanks guys :)
I put it in my status thingy under my username that I was looking for one. Had one member offer to do it so I accepted (had other offers after but said I already had someone) then she kind of disappeared from the forum for a bit so ended up posting myself.
:hug: 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) :D:
(Don't forget me Breeze & Eluned if you ever have another ok ;))
A lot of the girls in my Belly Buddies group paired up too. I said I'd like to do it for someone and have someone for me, but no-one took me up on it. When I was in hospital starting labour and updated my facebook status, though, they all jumped on it and wondered what I was up to (I was deliberately vague so I could tell them all myself that Ianto had been born/died)
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?
Aww if I have another one day I will get you to hun!!! What you wrote above made me cry I could feel your pain and love:
xoxo
That is the idea so people not in belly buddies group know! As I have many friends on BB not in that group.:
aww thanks a million feeb, your lovely post gave me some happy tears :hug::
:hug: Breeze, Eluned and Teni :(
It is such an priviledge to be someone's PIG and for me I can't wait to do my PIG duties, I was a Belly Buddy with mine during our last pregnancies and we are quite close and I am honoured to be her PIG. I haven't made mine offical yet, but will soon, I want a couple though, but most certainly will be those whom I trust, who I know will post and whom I know will be honoured to be my PIG ;)
what does PIG stand for? :redface:
PIG- Post It Girl :)
My eldest sister is mine :) i picked her as she's coming to the hossy with me and DP
Post It Girl! sounds a bit rude in acronym form doesnt it?
Hj asked me to be her PIG and I was very honoured, she and I were belly buddies with our first, but met through BB when we both had mcs at the same time, shared similar journeys, and now even though we have never met, I truly think of her as one of my closest friends!
Hopeully one day I can ask her to the same for me..
My PIG was from our 'old' young mums chat thread. I didn't really specify just said to my two special friends that whoever got in first could do it and messaged them both.
I have posted for a few others and I just asked them if they would like me to post for them. But I am not so close with many anymore ;) I always made an effort to seek out the Buddies thread as some members i know do not venture out of the buddy groups and would not see a BA!
I was tossing up b/w 2 ppl BG who i knew IRL or MOI who i had started getting to know through my baby buddies group with DD1... in the end i chose MOI, was a way of getting to know her a bit better.. she's such a lovely lady and was so excited to be one of the first to know about DD2.
I say just pick someone you click with and would be excited to share the news with straight away.. funny i know but imaging you've given birth and your sending txt msg's.. who's the 1st name to pop into your head or who's name do you visualise on your mobile
If anyone is looking for a PIG i am happy to offer my services, i would consider it an honor, love hearing about births and any excuse to get on BB :rofl:
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.. :lol:
Aww smiles :( - that made me cry!! - i know now who i'll be choosing should i be blessed with bubba #2 ;):
smiles4u your hired if I ever get there!:
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 :D
Plus - is there anyone else who is on BB as much as me? :think:
I had Maz with DD2 as we talk both online and on the phone reguarly. She will also be announcing DD3's arrival.
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.:
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?
I asked mine because I felt she was a close friend even though we have only meet IRL twice
:happyforyou: OMG i just got asked to be Poopie's & Yowies P.I.G :leap:
... thank you, thank you Clover putting on this thread you & poopie have just given me the most awesome gift ... whoo hoo i'm so darn excited :hooray:
(um, so sorry Clover that i crashed your thread :redface: but wanted you to now something wonderful came out of it :D ... and to those that mentioned in their posts that would like me to be the ' next ' PIG, OMG i would soooooo LOVE to still :loveshower: ... i'm having a GREAT day here :dance:)
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 :)
ooo i like 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.
I agree, luv ya! Cannot WAIT to be able to announce the arrival:) I feel very privileged!:
Lorelle- Yay!!!!
No-one's actually asked me to be their PIG - I asked cherished1 if she wanted me to be her PIG and she accepted
:hug: 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 :p)
~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 :).
:yeahthat: LOL:
Thanks Mel :)
Aren't you gorgeous!!! I cant wait til the day I get to meet you, Murray & William!!!!!! (because I WILL ;) ):
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.:
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 :crying::
someone was a BABE - Birth Announcement Buddy Extraordinaire!
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 :shhh: but that is because I barged in and offered!! However I am very honoured and will put it in my sig.... one day soon.
Yes the beautiful LizJessie offered to my my piggy wiggy and I was so excited I said YES :leap: she has been so supportive and such a wonderful BB friend I'm so happy she will be my birth announcer :hug::
The lovely JLeigh asked me to be her PIG over lunch a couple of days after I was chatting with LizJessie and I was so excited I said "this must be what LizJessie feels like being my PIG" heheheh :lol: It really is a special being a part of another BB members birth :loveshower:
we were TTC buddies... we spoke every day. She was the first person I told (besides DH). There was never any question it would be her!
Smiles - I'm so happy for you! Can feel your excitement :D
I'm going to ask 2 of the people I feel closest too. As much as I would love to ask everyone!! lol
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 :)
