Just sent an email reminder for today's check in. I know some have already let me know but now's the time for the rest of you ladies to check in!

Ok so now I know to just send you a message on the deadline days ........ I sent you an email for today's check in

If this week hadn't been so wonky I'd have remembered to send out a reminder email on Wed. ... that was my intent anyway. lol

Yep my week also has been wonky so I understand Only reason why I remembered that today was the first check in point was because I have it written on my doll calendar in my office and I was doing paperwork today for the daycare and that is when I saw the reminders I had written myself for all the check in points .......it's pretty bad that I need to write everything down now or I seem to forget

Just checking in to see how everyone is doing with their swap baby. I'm making huge progress with my baby and I'm falling deeply in love, lol!! So fun! Atleast I will be done way before April 30th so I will have some time with the baby before I send him/her to their mommy!!!

I am about 1/2 done with the baby. I am hoping to finish the painting this week and then on to the rooting as that takes me forever!!!

am about alittle more then half done to. I hate rooting it takes me for ever. im having fun this is my first swap to. I hope she loves her new baby.

I am still painting although this weekend I plan on finishing skin tones up and on to the details like eyebrows, nail tips etc. I am in love as well LOL.

I cant wait to see the babies delivered! I am so excited for you all Even not participating, seeing the photos of all the babies is the best part of the swaps

Awwww this seems like so much fun!! Does anyone know when the next one will be I'd love to participate! (:

Awesome! I am still finishing up painting but will be done by this weekend YAY!!

FINALLY got my second set of WIP pictures sent .......whew!!!! Sharon I sent you an email

My kids have spring break next week, I am hoping to get my partner's baby completed!! It has been crazy and Sunday is my real life baby's birthday. He will be 6!!! So painting has been on hold a bit!!

Oooh, I want to do one of these someday. :) but first I need to work on my painting skills! lol

So my baby is sent! So excited for the new mama to get their new bundle of joy!!! How is everyone else making out!! Can't wait to all the exciting box opening pics soon!!

I'm really excited also! Mine will go out on Tuesday (payday lol) and she's going to be so hard to send off! I'm totally in love!

I sent my baby off yesterday! I can't wait for my partner to get her new baby. It was tough for me also as I am totally in love with him!!!

I'm in love with my swap baby too! I don't know how I'm going to send off this bundle of joy. But I am very excited to receive my new baby! My family is excited for it to come in the mail. They can't wait to see it too! :D

I have been in and out of the hospital all month and am very glad I was able to get on here and read. I will be getting mine out by Tuesday, LOL

I too have fallen in love with my swap baby! I will be sending to the new mama on Tuesday!

My partner's baby will go out tomorrow. Yipee!!!

I'm thrilled to say I got my baby in the mail today. Now it's time for the nerves - hoping the baby mama will really like it.

Babies should start arriving soon!!!!!!!

so where do we post the box opening pics?? in this thread or do we start our own thread somewhere else??

I don't think it matters, we are all stalking this part of the board right now anyways!!!

I'm feeling really really sad right now cause the mommy that I made my baby for has not made a thread to thank me and say that she received her doll ( which was several days ago). She has been active on the forum so I cant help but think she hates her baby!!! I even pm'd her asking if everything was ok and no response! I sure hope I'm wrong and everything is ok! But it really is putting a huge huge damper on my whole swap experience. All you ladies know how much time and energy we put into making these babies!! I feel like crying right now. ( oh and when I get home from work tonight I will make a thread posting some pics of the baby I made!! Thank god I took some pics of him so atleast I can still show him off!)
