IT LOOKS GREAT!!

good job! we need to get this stickied.
Anybody know anything about due date buddies so we can update them and they can update the rest of us?

[babykenny]

Thanks Ginger! I'm happy to add another column with DD buddies if people want that, and I can edit the image.

From my previous experience in a DD room with DS, those in the room just divided up the due date list - those earlier in the month got matched up with those later in the month. They could PM each other with cell phone numbers, FB profiles/friend requests, or e-mail addresses. Then, when mama went into labor or had their LO, the due date buddy would post it in our DD room. (And I think some mamas could request another mama if they knew them IRL...)

I am not sure if everyone definitely wants a due date buddy - I'd love one this time around! With the APA site crashing, traffic has been really at a standstill..but hopefully these last couple months we June girls have - we can get it going again!!!!

I'll start a thread if you want, and next week we can divide up the list and assign everyone who wants one a DD buddy????

What does everyone think???????

[Ginger_Laraine]

i think its a go i saw someone else started a thread about it so ill go say "Aye Aye" on that one

[*Williow*]

This looks great BabyKenny. And now I get the DD Buddy thing....

That works for me.

[babykenny]

It's a work in progress, but I edited the table and added due date buddies!

Looks great!!!

[Ginger_Laraine]

WILLOW ! i be your buddy if you be mine!

[babykenny]

Just so everyone knows...I took the latter 4 due dates and shifted them up to the first 4 due dates of those that wanted a buddy! There was nothing special about who got who...it was very arbitrary!!!

[babykenny]

Update: WishingNat, Mamabear26, and Adelinasmommy are kind of a "due date buddy triangle!" There are so many of us due around the 9th & 10th, and 9 of us who want a due date buddy, so I had to shift some things around. Hope nobody minds!

Anyone want to trade due dates??? I'd like something in the beginning of June.
