2014 Mother's Day Baby Swap!!

My baby is packed and excited to meet his/her new Mommy  

Debbie

My baby is packed and will begin their journey tomorrow morning.   

My baby is ready to meet Mommy now. I was planning to wait until the last day to ship (as close to mothers day as possible), but this baby is ready to travel  

I know how you feel, Paula! I've been ready to mail my baby for a while, I just hadn't taken pictures until a couple days ago. I'm anxious (hopeful) to see if Mommy will love the baby I created for her.   

Mailing out tomorrow! Look out Mama, here comes baby!!!!!    

Is everyone mailing babies out? I thought we couldn't mail them out until the 30th? I haven't gotten an email from Sharon that it was time to mail them out. I have been ready to send my baby for awhile. I guess I should get packing. And emailing Sharon. I had no idea.

Today is the last checkpoint and they have to be shipped BY the 30th. I assume that means we can mail after sending in our completed baby pictures.

That is what I thought too.

Yes, somewhere in this thread Sharon said that we couldn't mail any earlier than the 21st.  We do have to have them mailed by the 30th at the latest.  Today is the day finished pictures are due to Sharon.  I mailed out my swap baby this morning.

Yep no later than the 30th :) I won't be ready until that date cause I still have a few baby items to pick up this weekend ....so excited though :)

OMG .. I am so excited !!my partner's baby is done !!!I will send her baby tomorrow or Monday the latest ...  

I hope She likes her baby !!!

I'm getting super excited to see all the babies!!!     

 
Me too!! I am shipping Monday...the labour pains will be starting soon!!

Well my baby's mom should be feeling some slight twinges about now. Her baby was given to the stork today and should arrive next week. I'm so nervous. I hope she likes her/him.

I was going to send baby out today but we got so busy with things that I didn't want to rush the packing process. So looks like my goal is to pack baby up tomorrow and send out Monday. I am super excited for the new mommy to get their baby!!!!

Somebody has been delivered......     Just waiting on borth announcement now

LOL!! Not sure what a borth announcement is but the birth announcement is in progress!

          

I'm so excited! Baby is all snuggly packed for travel. About to head to the train station...bus station....airport?

 

Eeeek! My mama's baby is almost home! She may even be deliver today! I am so nervous!

I just checked again and baby is Out For Delivery!!!!!     

How exciting!  I can't wait to see!  (I know I'm not the mommy because my mail already came for today...no baby  )

Alrighty! Now that I got my partner's baby on the way yesterday and have tracked to make sure it is on schedule to be delivered tomorrow, and I'm getting to see babies being delivered down the forum hall,    I'm experiencing some labor pains.

I am ready for the new addition: I've made a bed for the new baby, talked to the other babies about the new one coming and dressed them for the arrival, rearranged the kitchen, got my grocery shopping and laundry done, camera battery charged, washed my hair.....

Oh wait! I've got to make a pillow for the new baby's bed. And maybe I'll make a couple of outfits while I wait.   

 

I know what you mean, I'm so excited! All I need to do is some final checks and baby will be out tomorrow. I'm having a hard time letting him/her go, I love him/her so much. I'm hoping his/her new mommy loves him/her as much as I do.  

So, no babies were delivered today??  Maybe tomorrow.  I'm thinking there were a lot of people who sent babies on their way on Monday, so that would mean a lot of babies will be delivered tomorrow...I hope!  I love seeing box openings!
         

I just packed baby up tonight and will be sending out first thing tomorrow!!! I will miss this sweetie and hoping her new mommy will love her as much as I do   

Got baby out first thing this morning YAY :) Now the labor begins lol

Hoping my partner's baby is delivered today. I sent mine out Monday. Can't wait to here if baby arrived.

My partner's baby should be delivered today. It arrived at her local post office at 5:25 this morning.

Me too, melabugs. There is a little something special (to me) about this baby.  

Any Babies today??? I am stalking the Swap section to see new box openings.   

I got mine!  I need to download pictures still.

Awesome! Cant wait to see!!!

No baby for me today.    It has been a tough couple of weeks could use a "cheer up," hope she (or he) will come tomorrow. It has been so fun watching all the new momma's posts about their babies!

Awww.       

I've been having a rough couple weeks too, really sick right after Easter, PMS, stress over no furnace, no money...  In fact, today I've got vertigo...so I haven't been doing much except sit.  Having my baby to cuddle has been very nice!

I hope your baby comes tomorrow, Shannon!
 

Hoping my partner gets her baby tomorrow too. Thought for sure that today she would get it since I shipped it Monday. For sure tomorrow.

Paula,
I just got Gillian today! I'm so excited ^_^ I did run into a problem though :( I can't keep her away from my youngest. She took her and hasn't let her go since I opened her. She says that now she has the little sister she always wanted. I don't have the heart to take her from her. When she goes to bed and falls asleep, I'll get to play with her and I'll take some pictures and post a proper thank you. I should be able to post everything tomorrow. Thank you so much, she is so precious and I can't wait till I get my chance with her.

  I'm so glad your girlie likes Gillian. I hope she will share her with you.   

Wow my baby should have been there by now. I guess I should dig the tracking number out and find out where it is since I have not heard from my partner.   

My baby is still a "no show." My mail has already run.   

 baby didn't come today and I really could have used something to make me smile today.

Me too.   

no baby delivered to my house today.....no mail delivered to my house today. atleast that means no bills.   maybe those of us still in labor will have deliveries tomorrow.

#longest labor ever

No baby for me either    I am thinking that tomorrow will be the day ....I can feel it LOL   

I'm so sorry ladies.     I know how tough it is to wait!  That's why I mailed my baby out last Friday, so Stephanie wouldn't have to wait.  I'm thinking we'll have a lot of deliveries tomorrow!

I hope so. Fingers crossed!!

Yes I agree that it's tough to wait but worth the wait too :) And yes I do believe there will be a lot of Friday deliveries as well!!

I hope so or i will    and then   

good news is my tracking says baby was delivered. Whew. Hope the new mommy loves their baby.

Doesn't look like she's going to post pictures tonight.
