Is someone going to take this over or should we wait for @heawilliams to come back? I don't want to step on any toes, but I know many of us would love to see this go somewhere!

Agreed. At this point it's been nearly a month, and while i know this is a big job, and life gets in the way, it's a bummer to log on every day with not even an update. My vote is to move on from waiting since we have no way of knowing if its even being worked on.
Agreed. I was really hoping this was gonna go somewhere but it's clearly not. I hope she is okay! Either someone else takes it over, (I would but at this point it's so massive I have no idea where to even start the sorting! ) or it just needs to be forgotten and/or taken down
Hey! Firstly, I'm a FTM, my due date is January 20th and I am in Jacksonville, FL. Secondly, I think this is a great idea but, just like everyone else, I'm wondering if the lady in charge of it got too busy as she hasn't been active in over a month. I'm trying to understand where she was going with this at the beginning: creating a registry type thing and pairing us up with a support partner? If you guys are still interested, all I have now is time and would be happy to do it. I'm asking this instead of just jumping in and taking over because I'm trying to think of the best ways to go about it (the pairing ect). Maybe something that can be discussed for the people still interested because I still want to see this work out!
Thanks for stepping up! @littleduck730 I'm still interested. I know there's many pages of people that just listed their info and aren't in the Google doc.
Hi! I am new to the community (didn't know it existed but a coworker of mine enlightened me). I just added myself to the Labor Buddies spreadsheet. Will I still receive a Labor Buddy (I saw that you paired people up in August). Looking forward to following everyone in this community and learning as I am a first time mommy!
I just caught up and realized that the woman that created this list hasn't been on in a while. I say to make it easier for all of us, why don't we just pick a buddy that obviously doesn't have the same EDD as us (so we aren't in labor at the same time lol) and pick someone in our general area. Then we post if we have found a buddy that has accepted our "buddy-ship" lol and that way we can start forming relationships and communicating with one another.
You're awesome @littleduck730! I'm also in favor of the take over. I'd totally volunteer for it, but I'm swamped as it is with work and redoing our house to be ready for our little guy in January.
The only issue I see with picking our own buddy is people not checking back, buddies being double picked, etc. It would be best if we can close it (sorry to anyone new joining in the next few months) and pair everyone up.
@karenelizabeth102, I was thinking the same thing might happen: so many people have "signed up" for this... If I do pair people, I'm sure I'll be faced at some point with people who have "disappeared" from these forums.. Or people who have forgotten all about it.
Anyways, give me a day, I'll look through all the comments on this board and update the spreadsheet for everyone and notify everyone here of the rough copy to get feedback from you guys so we can get this show on the road!
Any ideas/suggestions are very welcome while I do this!
Quick question.. Can someone explain to me the team colors? Green, blue, pink? I would assume this maybe means gender? Just want to make sure lol sorry. I'll probably feel dumb asking this question!
I'd like to be added Due date is 1/19 but due to my high risk status and carrying twins a planned C-Section will probably have me delivering on or about Jan. 5th Tucson, AZ
