Check-in Poll

[pbandj714]

Since this is being discussed, I figured I'd make it a poll so we can see what the masses think regarding the frequency of check-ins. (And by "ticker change", I mean when you personally hit a new week in your pregnancy. For example, I was 11 weeks yesterday (Thursday), so I would check in on the Thursday ticker change.)

Those of you on Tapatalk can hit options and then web view. Just log in, and you can see the poll and vote.

I think a better way to figure this out would be to get a better idea of how many regular posters would even be participating on each day. I get the idea behind it, but we're not a huge group so I think check-ins that may only have 2 or 3 people are kind of silly. I mean, our current check-in is only at 2 pages...


AFM, I'm a Tuesday switch-over.

Weekly. We are not a big group and I don't see why we need multiple check ins. Honestly, I think the amount of threads here already discourages me from participating more. I can only keep up with probably 3 at any time.

I voted I don't care. I do like how May does two a week. But I agree, we are a small group, so weekly is good for me, too. I really don't care. I lurked on TB with DS rather than participating because I was so overwhelmed by all the threads and all the people and couldn't keep up, but we are a small group, so I don't think it matters regardless.

I honestly don't really care. Like I said in the UO thread, the daily ones on F16 were kind of fun, but I'm not emotionally attached. The weekly one here is fine to me, too. The only thing that would even slightly bother me is chunking up a few days at a time. But that's just because there wouldn't be even numbers of days for each check-in (OCD here). Even still, I could get over that, too.

What if we do it Friday as a recap of the week?

[soultrane]

Maybe a compromise could be 2 check-ins based on due date - one for those who are at the beginning of the month and one for those at the end? I'm smack dab in the middle of the month so it doesn't really matter to me, but maybe grouping it by similar due date would work if we decide to divide it. Someone due on the 1st is going through very different things than someone due on the 30th.

I also think that we're totally overthinking this.

Yes to the bolded.

I voted I didn't care but I hadn't read through the other discussion in UO's. I agree that with the size of the group a weekly check in makes the most sense. I don't think it really matters where you are in your week or month, it's nice to check in together and pool our experiences and advice.

FFFC: even if we do daily check-ins/ticker changes/etc, i'm still creeping the days I don't participate in.


Also.

Food for thought.

Thinking up of GTKY Q's is hard.
All the candy and cookies to Andrea because she's the only one doing that right now

LOL, I only started doing them cause I felt like a slacker check-in starter. We can totes leave those puppies out if people want to eliminate them!

No, she's saying you're amazing for coming up with so many! It's not easy to think of them!

Precisely what I'm saying.

Soooooo did we decide what we are doing?

[ArgyleEnigma]

Looks like inertia wins.

Looks like we might as well keep on keeping on with the weekly check-ins!
