Holy shit.

[babyzebra]

I would be down for a labor buddy! Maybe someone in the beginning or middle of the month since I'm at the end.

[Andrea]

carolinaheart, I KNOW.

[nitecheese]

My RCS is June 13th at 11-1, so LMK if you want to buddy up for any other time.

[woodengirl07]

I'd be on board.

[titania]

Andrea, totally on board! This is when we alert the group when our buddy is in labor? I want to make sure I do it right!

I feel like we touched on this topic before, but I can't remember. What exactly do labor buddies do?

[soultrane]

I'm in! When I was on the November 15 board before my loss, they ended up pairing off 1st and 3rd week due dates, and 2nd and 4th week due dates so that there was less of a chance of buddies delivering at the same time.

[Andrea]

pbandj714, Pretty much you keep the board updated when your buddy goes into labor. It's just for fun and to keep people in the loop.

I do too! There's kind of 5 weeks in June though...

[txmommy14]

I like this idea! I'm in, how should we get a sense of who wants a labor buddy? Create a google spreadsheet again?

[soultrane]

txmommy14, I was going to recommend using the google doc too. Whoever is interested can sign up and list our due date/RCS date and then we can pair off based on who signs up. Just a thought, and I like spreadsheets!

[txmommy14]

soultrane, I agree! Who made our spreadsheet the first time around, was it Andrea? I would volunteer but I'm pretty sure I would mess it up....maybe give people a week or so to sign up and then we can pair off? Or a few days?

[manybellsdown]

I like the idea!

[titania]

So Andrea made the spreadsheet, but I posted it since I have an anonymous email address (the creator address is public). I am happy to make it!

[bighair12]

I would be in. I don't want to put myself down for a date yet though until I see the high risk doctor again on the 29

[titania]

Ok I created a simple sign up sheet.  Please let me know if it's not working right!   How about we give people a week to sign up if they want one and then we can pair off?

That makes total sense.  You will definitely be included on the list and can update your date after you see the doctor. 

[origamimommy]

I'm in too!

Omg, this is happening!!

[frecklesnbrains]

Cool! I signed up!

[ArgyleEnigma]

I can't wait to hear from everybody's labor buddies when things start rolling! I won't participate myself though, I prefer just to burst in with "It's a girl/boy!" when the time comes.

[soultrane]

Thanks for setting this up titania!!

[txmommy14]

Sounds good! Thanks titania!
