HI!! I was just thinking, I don't have a post-it-girl!
My sister posted ds' birth last time, but she's not on here often anymore. So, this time I was thinking someone else.
But the people I had in mind are already PIG for others, and some of those others are due at the same time.
So, how did you chose your PIG? Should I just be my own?
TIA :)
I had someone who I speak to regularly do mine. And I was a P.I.G for someone recently, and I think she chose me as we're in regular contact (but not too sure).
I chose my pig because I had known her for ages lol only over the net though. I'd choose your own. There's heaps of people I'd love to post my ba
choose whoever you want! I'm a PIG to 4 people, it's no hassle, I'm sure whoever you ask will be honoured to have been asked :)
Of course you can be your own, lol! I'm sure whoever you wouldve picked would be happy to be doing double duties - I think PZ's got 4! Do whatever you wanna do Hun, it's your BA :)
I went with PZ because she's the member I feel closest to, plus I was already thinking I would ask if she could be my doula anyway so I got the package deal :p
For Ianto I didn't have one, because I was still kinda a newbie and although I said a few times in my buddies thread that I would like someone to do it for me, no-one took me up on it.
My sister (tk1999) is mine :) We are really close, wouldnt want anyone but her announcing the birth of my baby
& She is coming in with DP and I.
I agree, pick someone that you're close to, it doesn't matter who.
My hubby did my announcement both times (the first was 1.30am LOL). Next time I will be doing my own, but that's part of my healing process from needing to have a scheduled c/section ;)
I was my own. I did have someone but they stopped hanging out on BB, so just ended up doing it myself!
Also, I picked someone other than the people I'm PIG for, because although I'm close to all of them, I didn't want to show favouritism hehehe ;)
Ah HA! The truth comes out! :rofl::
(Don't worry, I know I'm really your favourite - I won't tell the others :p)
DS1 I hadn't thought about, a BB member who called me asked if I wanted her to do it!!
DS2 I picked a friend I was close to and actually I did her 2nd.
Was hard as so many special people on BB to me.
Think about who you speak to frequently or value there contributions.
I need one too Scone. My PIG for DD2 will not be living in Australia when this next bub is born.
She offered to be my PIG last time, and I hadn't even thought about it but was so honored that she'd do that for me. Maybe this time I will again wait until someone offers to do it for me :)
Just for the record, I'm totally free and available ;) :rofl:
i asked someone who i was TTC with and she now has 4 :o lol i didnt think i would make her that popular ha ha ha and she knows i love her :)
first time i was too chicken to ask anyone so i did it myself i could do it myself this time coz i have mobile internet and im taking my computer lol
With DD1, it was one of my belly buddies, we all sorta just matched up with someone from our group.
With DD2 I asked the beautiful Sarah to do it for me cos she was the only one I wanted to do it.
With this one, I have already asked someone to do it if we have the baby in Queensland, however, if we end up with a homebirth I will do it myself I imagine. Mostly cos it would only be Sterla or Jahzara doing it for me, and they'll both be at the birth.. LOL
And for the record - I'm free and able to be anyone's P.I.G... LOL
I became very close to someone in the TTC thread. We became so very very close. We spoke every day via MSN and to me, it was only natural that she do my announcement! She did it and did it well! Next time I have a bubba, I have someone in mind already... and even if she does disappear from BB - she will have NO CHOICE but to drag her backside on here and do my BA! :lol: Or I may just do it myself from the theatre... gotta kill the time somehow!
I chose the 2 people closest to me on here. One has had to leave us :( but they were both stoked to share the job :D
I just figured whoever got to the pc first would win, lol.
i know this might sound out there but have you thought about putting on a thread to ask who has never been asked to be a P.I.G but would clearly love too ;)
I waited about 2.5years before i was ever asked and geez was i awaiting with breath taking anticipation, lol cause i dropped a big bomb shell on someone thread that i have never been asked but would just so love to be someone or anyone's P.I.G ... and you know what happened i got not one but three P.I.G offers (one lovely lady she said would ask me 'if' she fell pregnant which she did and now i am her very happy P.I.G too :dance: ... i have to say i am hooked and feel incredibly honoured when i am asked, it's almost as close as me having my own bubba, i just LOVE IT :D)
Can't tell you how much i love it, i actually get tears in my eyes from the JOY it brings ... and sometimes the people you thought may not want to do it could be waiting to be asked just as i was !!
i picked the person i connected with most at the time.. outside of BG who i knew IRL and knew she would get the pleasure of telling her mum... :rofl:
Me too :hooray::
Very interesting... And so many offers! :)
Just for the record, I've never been a P.I.G either and am totally available! :)
Me too!
the 2 i have are my sister and a close friend who are both BB members. Its a personal choice. I can see it be a race between my 2 lol
:) So am i
I did the same, chose the person I am closest to on bb :)
I never had a PIG for DS, I announced it probably 6 weeks after he was born lol
Lol, I already have a PIG and I'm not pregnant yet! Turkish Delight told me she was gonna be my PIG when the time came, and I'm more than happy with that :)
Sconeonamission I don't have a PIG either :)
I only recently found out what a PIG was hehe, I'm a little slow with the lingo!
I better get cracking on finding one, hope you choose your PIG soon.
Last time our doula posted for us. This time I'm doing my own because I'll be at home anyway :D
