Notification buddy?? Jan 08

[Widget]

I know, I know, I'm getting ahead here...

Have noticed it with other groups and been thinking about it for us...

Do we want to have one person who can tell our news when the time comes?

We could always mix it up a bit too...

Most groups have 2 people i.e. Bec notifies for Jac and Jac notifies for Bec...

We could do it that way or mix it up a bit and try 3's? or more?

like say... Mamaduke has xxxDragonflyxxx, Fly has LiliS, and Lili has Crazy Monkey etc... We could on to say Crazy has AnnaT, Anna has Bootiful, Bootiful has Mother Duck, Ducky has Bronny-jane, BJ has Mamaduke so on and so forth...

We can PM mobile nos for our contact and then just have to remember to tell them when the time comes!!

I have probably confused you now!! :laughing: :detective:

I can keep record so that no-one misses out!!

Maybe try for someone who isn't due around the same time as you though, it would be hard to notify for someone if you both have bub same day/week etc...

shonie
Bo0tifuL
AnnaT
joshmum
nswmum
leashratlast
BJ

Could the above ladies please confirm whether or not you will be participating? I will be advising the match ups THIS Saturday - 01/12/07!

I know, it looks all over the place, but I am keeping track of who enters and when they're due! Need more end of monthers!! More start of monthers are welcome, but NEED more end of monthers!!

Will leave this as an open list until December, if it comes down to it, if we have too many of one end of the month, I can double up on who gets told when the bub arrives!!

[Crazy Monkey]

Count me in...

[Widget]

Sweet!!

Now we need ppl from the end of the month lol as we're both at the start!! :laughing:

[Bo0tifuL]

count me in too :)

[bronny-jane]

lol i dont need one, my sisters a member, and i have numbers for other members... no one due here, but their on everyday:D

[Angelbell]

I will be shonie and shonie me, I'll messenger her tomorrow.oop that will not work we are due the same day!!!LOL

[Widget]

LOL Angelbell...

So far we're all at the start of the month...

was thinking of maybe allowing at least 10 days between due dates I know it can still leave you giving birth at the same time, but then there's still a gap...

Where are all these late Jan to be mummies??

[Mamaduke]

Count me in too...I'm due on the 18th but I'll be going in beforehand for a ceasar so if you want to allocate me someone that's fine with me.
:thumbsup:

[LilliS]

Count Me in too - I'm later in the month (28th).

[AnnaT]

Count me in Widge but remember Im being induced at 38wks so I wont go past 5th Jan so I need someone from the end of the month as my buddy :)

[Chelle123]

Count me in. I'm due on the 4th but I'll most likely be induced late Dec. Finding out more details mid August when I see my Haematologist (sp?).

[Strawberry_Shortcake]

Count me in too. Im having another c section so probably go 38 to 39 wks.

[BlessedWithBlue]

Count me in too! they just put my dates back 5 days so my new edd is 25/1.

[Widget]

Ok, we'll get the ball rolling with LilliS being told when Crazy Monkey has her bundle...

My2Boys0917 will be told when Bo0tifuL's latest addition arrives...

I'll do it order of responses, so first early Jan with first late Jan and so on and so forth...

[Widget]

I'm likely to go in December myself but I am going to try and hold out until Jan!!

So if LilliS could PM Crazy Monkey her number to notify on, My2Boyz does the same for Bo0tiful, I will PM Lilli my contact details and Angelbell if you could PM My2Boyz with your contact number we can really start this off.

Understand how I've done it?? PM the person who will notify for you...

[sairpaul]

Hi guys count me in this is an awesome idea sorry i didn't reply sooner

[Crazy Monkey]

Sounds good Widget..
I have LilliS number and I will PM my number to her now...

[nswmum]

well hi girls its nice to be here as you can see im due in jan to. im telling you if this one isnt a girl (with all the problems ive had so far) im so sick off being on bed rest..anyway i am here and am glad to get a chance to speak to other mums due about the same time. :wave:

[joshmum]

Hi there,

Please count me in.

I am due on the 5th Jan 2008.

I am happy for you to allocate me someone as i am new here and dont know many people.

Take Care and talk to you all soon.

Cheers Jodie

[Bo0tifuL]

ok call me dumb but i am way lost lol...who am i doing when how where what when? lol . haha

[Widget]

Kate, My2Boys needs to PM you her details so you can let her know when bub arrives...

I don't have another contact for you as yet so you don't have to do anything just yet :D

[Bo0tifuL]

ok i have her number!!! im al set! hehe she explained it very well to me i was having a very muddled up day yesterday hehe

[shonie]

Hiya! count me in, i'm due around the 2nd Jan so you can allocate someone if you like :-)
Would of liked to for you Angelbell and vice versa but if we'd organised it, what's the bet we'd have gone on the same day! LOL!
I might not have computer access after Oct for awhile so if you want to count me out also that's fine. Wouldn't be fair on the other person if I didn't notify you all that's all!

Have a good day everyone!

Shona

[sairpaul]

HI Widget I am a little lost who am i meant to be paired with???

[MissSookyLaLa]

hey, count me in, im due sometme between 18th-20th depending who you ask !

thanks for organising widget!

[Widget]

HI Widget I am a little lost who am i meant to be paired with???

No-one yet Sair... Waiting for more end of monthers to join up!!

I have to sit down with pen and paper so I don't lose myself with this... Will do this weekend sometime!!

[sairpaul]

NO worrries sorry i was just confussed wasn't sure if we were meant to sort of pair ourselves. All good i'll stay posted

[tiptoe]

This is a great idea - but now Widget has taken a leave of absence, should someone else take over the running of this thread?

Any Volunteers? I still don't fully understand so i won't put my hand up, but include me in when more end of month-ers notify.

I'll probably go late, at least the 8th Jan.

[MissEdwards]

count me in plz.... im due 3rd jan
thanks silla

[AnnaT]

I'll take over setting up the buddies. I'll give it 2 more weeks of sign up and then sort it out.

For those who already have buddies, please PM me and let me know who it is :)

Ta!

[leashr]

Hi everyone,:wave:

my edd id the 30/01/008, though i may be induced at 38 weeks. kinda doing it alone as my partner is in Defence Force, hence he is away alot. Only been home for 5 weeks this yr. I'm also new to bubhub, joined cause i thought it would prob be a great support network.

i'm 20 and my fiance is 21.

hope to get to know you all!:)

alisha

[Mamaduke]

Hi Alisha, congratulations and welcome...:wave:
as you can see by how much we 'yap' you'll get all the support and advice you need to see you through.
Don't forget to have a look at the due in January thread...
http://www.bubhub.com.au/community/forums/showthread.php?t=109305

[justme77]

I dont really understand what this is,
but keep seeing requests for people due the end of the month.
IM due either the 28th or 30th depending who you ask.
count me in if you need me.

Once everyone puts their due dates up AnnaT will then make a list and allocate you a buddy who you will SMS when you've had bubs so they can post the good news on your behalf on bubhub, and you will also be someone else's buddy to do the same.
Have I explained that well? :confused:

[sairpaul]

Good job mamaduke. LOL.

[justme77]

Yep understood.
cool. let me know who I get paired up with then.

[Widget]

Hey, I am back so will get this back and going again soon okay!

Thanks Anna!

Will see if I can pinch someones internet at work tomorrow and print off the list so I don't get lost matching people up!!

Love to all xxx

Good to have you back Widget...:wave:

[feline11]

Hi
Count me in - sorry i'm late telling you - i forgot to look for this thread (i have a really bad preggers brain at the mo)

I'm due 12th but since my first who knows when i will drop - hopefully not too much late

Thanks

[xxxDragonFlyxxx]

Righteo, count me in!

EDD 30th Jan - so i'm one of the end of month people :D

[Widget]

Okay! I have worked on my list and have it done and sorted!!

Please check it as some have changed.

I compared the EDD's to the main Due In list with signatures and what has been said in here (i.e. people being induced early or having early c/s).

Based on that, at the moment it is worked out on an even split for the month of Jan with 1-15 being considered early Jan and 15-31 being considered late Jan.

The list was done in order of who has shown interest first, then second for each "group", so first in first served!

So quite obviously, the early Jan's have more interested parties at the moment but I'm sure that will change!!

[Mamaduke]

Great job Widget!

Now here comes the 'dumb pregnant lady' question (and believe me I've pondered on this before posting!)
I have to pm my contact details to justme77...all good with that, so does that mean justme77 contacts me when she has bubs?
And dragonfly pm's her contact details to me so that means I pm her when I have bubs?
It seems to be making more sense now that I've seen the words...but if you could give me a definate please?
I'm definately having a 'pregnant pause' right now!:o

[Widget]

Your right!

Justme77 will contact you on the number/email/whatever you provide to her.

And yes, Fly WILL tell us when you've had LD.

I'll try Widget English (which so far has only left me confused LOL)...

The person you PM is the person who will tell you when they have their bub, so... you PM justme77 so that she has a way of telling you that she has had the gorgeous little one - and then you can share with us!!

That came out better than all the other ones LOL!!

Does that make sense Mama??

[Mamaduke]

:yes: *nods slowly and goes back to re-read*


Nah, just kidding...I got it now! :thumbsup:

[Widget]

You dork...

Everytime I'm asked I get all confused!!

I was reading over my posts before and by geez I made it sound so confusing!! Maybe that 3 day break was muchly needed??

General rule of thumb... Whoever you PM, will tell you when they have bub, once they tell you, you then share the news with us ALL!!

[justme77]

At least you found the list. It took me a while to figure out where the list was. lol. I think I get it now...
so when duke has her baby she will contact me, and I'll tell everyone, and when I give birth I will contact annat so she can tell everyone. i get it finally...

[xxxDragonFlyxxx]

I did't think it was that hard to understand and this is ME we're talking about here :laughing:

Anyways, for anyone still confused, in simple terms it works like (using me as an example) this...

I give Mamaduke my contact details so I can pass on her good news.

Chelle gives me her contact details so she can pass on my good news.

Seeeeeee it's not that hard ;)

[Chelle123]

Other way around Fly. I give you my details so you can txt me in hospital when your bubba arrives and Mamaduke will contact you when her bub arrives.

(I think!!!)

[atlast]

Count me in - great idea.. i'm due 19th Jan.....

[candyn]

I have a dear friend of mine thats on here, i will phone her and she will post the outcome.:)

If she is not on holidays then!!!

[MissSookyLaLa]

hey widget, cause im due later in the month, happy for you to give me two girls at the start of the month to notify for:)

[Mrs J]

I am due the 1st of Feb but went early last time i would be happy to help you out if i am needed. PM me :thumbsup:

[sairpaul]

Hey Widget as there are a couple of later people now could I be paired with someone. no hurry just when ever

[Widget]

Sair, I'm pretty sure you're next in line for a match up! Just waiting to see if anymore Jan 08 ladies join before I use Feb 08 ladies...

This will be open until Early December so we have plenty of time!!

[HoneyBlossom]

I am due the 1st of Feb but went early last time i would be happy to help you out if i am needed. PM me :thumbsup:

Same here, but i'm the 2nd. But went 5 weeks early with the first and 4 weeks with the second.

[tiptoe]

Just thought i'd bump this back up the list in the hope of getting more end of month-ers for notification buddies.

Thanks

[bronny-jane]

hey thinking about it, put me in..lol one of my contacts keeps getting banned, and the other wont know where to post:D

[Widget]

Ok BJ. Are you being induced early or 18th is the date we go by??

[bronny-jane]

Ok BJ. Are you being induced early or 18th is the date we go by??

19ths my date... i only get induced for going over... 9- 11 days over...

[Ky]

Count me in ... I have a tentative c/s date booked of 18/01 which will only change if bub gets way too big like last time! Everything is going so well that my ob is letting me go to 38 weeks now!

[Widget]

Just bumping this up...

[Widget]

Just thought I'd bump this one up again!

[Widget]

6 more weeks and I will close this! If there's no more responses, I'll start doubling up on the end of monthers!

[Crazy Monkey]

Happy for you to double me up Widget...

[Widget]

Happy for you to double me up Widget...

I would Silla, BUT... You're a start of monther... I've got too many of them!! LOL

Need people from the end of the month!

I can see that I'm going to have to double up a few of the later due in ladies...

[Widget]

Just a reminder that this won't be open for too much longer.

If you want in, let me know!

Because we started this so early and we haven't heard from quite a few of the ladies for some time, I will PM once I close the thread to make sure they are still participating...

[justme77]

im at the end of the month so you can double up me.
but youll have to fill me in on what i have to do...
i cant remember?

[Widget]

When you get matched up, the people that are after your name you give your number to. When they have the baby, they will let you know and then you come online and post in the announcements thread and let us all know!!

The person who's name is in front of yours will give you her number and you let her know when bub has arrived and she will post in the announcements thread and let us all know!!


Make sense??

[HoneyBlossom]

Count me in...

[justme77]

yep I get it.
does AnnaT still come on here? I cant remember seeing that name lately?
and i havent heard from mamaduke yet either.
feel free to swing me another early month person.
actually my mobile number is on my facebook profile so just grab it off there...

[Widget]

That list might change still... Once I close it I'm going to PM those that we don't hear from to make sure they're still participating.

Anna posted yesterday in the thread and Mamaduke is the sparkly red square... She posted a couple of days ago about not being invited to scrablle yet - then realising that she hasn't been able to add the application yet...

[HoneyBlossom]

i just spoke to my sister (~chick79~)... She wants to inform you guys when Bub is born... as she is now back on Bubhub.

[justme77]

ok well just let me know.

[Chelle123]

I've just sent Lis my contact datails and I'm supposed to get contact details from Atlast but she seems to be MIA.

Silla and I have each others mobile no's and I know we are due on the same day, but what are the chances????

[Bo0tifuL]

Ok so My2Boys0917 Is she still around? Coz i accidently lost her number :( whoopsy daisy!
And cantwait you have mine still?

[Widget]

2 1/2 days to finalise who is participating in this!!!

[feline11]

me:smiliedance:

[Widget]

Ok ladies!!

If Crazy Monkey could PM My2Boys0917 her mobile number so that M2B can let her know when bub arrives and then CM can tell us!!

Mamaduke to PM Justme77

Chelle123 to PM cantwait

Widget to PM xxxDragonFlyxxx

Sairpaul to PM Elias

feline11 to PM LilliS

Elias to PM Tiptoe

cantwait to PM Mamaduke

My2Boys to PM Silla19

LilliS to PM Widget and chelle123

justme77 to PM Angelbell and sairpaul

xxxDragonFlyxxx to PM feline11 and Crazy Monkey.


Does that make sense???

[Mamaduke]

I'm still here. Have pm'ed you justme77.
cantwait, can you please pm...I think you did a while ago but if you could pm me your contact details again that would be great.

[Mamaduke]

Dragonfly was the one who pm'ed me a while ago...I found the pm.

[Mamaduke]

Just trying to tie up loose ends...
whoever is my not. buddy (the person I message when I've had bubs) can you pm me with your number please?
I'm terribly confused (AGAIN!) and want to get this sorted as part of my 'nesting'! :o

[justme77]

Hey MD
you text me when you have your baby.
and cant wait will text you when she has hers.

I will PM you my mobile number lol

hope this helps your nesting

[MissSookyLaLa]

ahh i thought it was the other way around- that MD texted me when she had her baby...

anyway MD i will message you again- i did message you but i think my work blocked it!

[Widget]

Mamaduke to PM Justme77

cantwait to PM Mamaduke



I thought I made it easy to understand??

MD, Bec (cantwait) will PM you (should have by now) her number. When Littlest Duke arrives if you could kindly let her know it would be greatly appreciated!

You need to PM Jay (Justme77) your number so that when her little man arrives she can tell you...













Does anybody not understand how this works now??

PLEASE if you have not been notified with a number to contact when bub arrives or if you don't understand... SPEAK up so we can rectify it!!

While I'm here... BJ if you are still reading with us, do you want to still participate and be Tiptoe's buddy? She wasn't matched up with anyone as there weren't many end of monthers to give all the early monthers someone...
