I think Charlize had a really good idea in setting up DDC Buddies, so since I'm chilling on the couch and bored, I'm going to start the Roll Call!
Everybody who's still with us, please chime in and say a hello! Whether you're a regular poster or a lurker, please post! There are 208 people on the Due Dates thread -- wondering how many of us are still checking in?
And if you want to participate in the DDC Buddies, say the word. (The Buddies will get paired off with a soon-to-be-determined methodology so that when anybody goes into labor or has their little one and can't get on here to post, they just need to make a call to their bud who will make a post on their behalf.)
Everybody who's with us please say HI!

You would use your buddy if you wanted to report to everybody in the DDC that you're in labor or the baby has arrived but you're not able to get online right away to post it yourself. You would PM each other to exchange contact info. Just an option to get the news out
Username:Firewoman
EDD: October 2nd
Buddy: I have really quick homebirths so I should be able to post myself, but I would be happy to be someone's buddy to post for them!
Your username: Ms Vyky
Your estimated Due Date: October 24
Do you want a DDC Buddy?: Sure! I can post my story/stats when I'm home (You dont' stay long in the hospital up here), but I'll certainly help someone else out!
For the record, another reason to do the buddy thing would be that if we haven't all seen a post from somebody in a few days and we're getting worried about you, then someone can give a call or send a text and just check in and make sure you're OK
Name: gumby74
Expected DD: Scheduled c-section October 22nd, but most likely will go before. Official DD: October 28th.
Buddy: Sure! Sounds like fun...I'm a bigger texter than someone who likes to talk on the phone though.
