Got some good news today! My new little baby boy is finished. Oh my goodness, he is beautiful. My artist took such wonderful pictures of him and He is incredible. I mean, I am just stunned. I cannot wait to see him in person. She told me that he will be sent out tomorrow. I'm so excited. I have been waiting for him for almost two months and even longer than that before I had decided what doll kit and artist would be the best match for me to have a custom done with. As a first time reborn mom, the excitement is pretty high for me. Do any of you have stories of when you got your very first reborn and how it felt? Or any advice for a first time reborn mom? I'll be sure to let you guys know when he is here and I will post some pics! Thanks everyone! xoxox 
I remember when my first one arrived...she was this amazingly cute little preemie. I'd seen photos of course, but had never held a reborn before and once she arrived and I saw her in person, I was just stunned by how real she looked and felt. The best advice I can give you is to be prepared to just relax and enjoy your little one for awhile (most likely after the box opening video if you're making one.) Make sure you have some time on that first day to just sit and cuddle them (perhaps while watching TV, or after the real life kids have gone to bed, etc.) because you probably won't want to put them down for quite awhile. And have a nice receiving blanket ready for this purpose because it really adds to the effect...and a magnetic pacifier or bottle if you have one. Having quiet time with them really helps the bonding process and you'll enjoy the calming and relaxing effect it will have on you.
