[A2JC4life]

Yay!  I'm glad we have so much interest this round.  

This is my first time as an organizer, so if ya'll see me doing something boneheaded (like forgetting the date info in the thread title - thanks, lapoli!), please let me know.

I think I'll do this as my first official swap!!

This swap is tempting, just starting to get to the tired point and it would make good time crafting....

Hmmm... I'm due on July 30. I'mm gonna think on this for a few days.

I'll fill out my questionnaire as soon as I can.  It's been a while since I've done a non-person-I-know-irl swap

I want to join this one as I already have one and we just found out we have another on the way. My question is about LO#1. He turns 1 the day after sign up's close. Does that count as under one? Just wondered. Thanks.

[A2JC4life]

I think that's close enough.  Just specify in your questionnaire whether your answers apply to the 1yo, the new one, or both.

Congrats on the new LO, knittychick!    (We missed you in the baby onesie swap!)

I missed the onesie swap too! I really wanted to sign up, but to be honest it took me a while to become joyful about this pregnancy. It's not that I am not happy to be welcoming a new little one to our family, but it was VERY un-planned! The scariest part (and what made it hardest to get excited) is that because I had an IUD in when we got pregnant it was a rough first 2 months. I guess the IUD makes ectopic pregnancy and miscarraige a lot higher than normal. The IUD fell out on it's own so at least there was no surgery involved.

On top of everything else my doctor is worried that the reason the IUD fell out is because my body isn't completely repaired from my pregnancy with Micah, and if that's true I can start having contractions as early as 24 weeks. So because of that, and because Micah was pre-term, I'm on High Risk watch. The plan is to try and deliver as close to 36 weeks as possible.

Sorry if that's too much detail for you guys, but I feel like this is a place where people will understand. Anyway, We're really please now and I'm excited to do a swap for the new little one. There's only one item I'd really, really like for my little guy, but it goes with something I want for the new little one too, sort of a set if you will...

Anyways, I'll work on my questionnaire and get it in as quick as I can.
