Hi there
Hi there, I am RebornValliesMommy, its lovely to "meet" you I have been around the reborn community for nearly 2 years now, researching artists, watching/commenting on YouTube vids and attending doll shows and although it took me that long to find the right baby for me, the wait was absolutely worth it. My beautiful daughter Valentina Rose was delivered on Monday 28th January 2013 at 1.30pm, weighing a small but perfect 5.5lbs - She is my first reborn and I already love her so much! I also have a wonderful "already born" (real) son who is a beautiful grown up young man now, so I was really missing having a child to nurture, and I have found that Vallie is really helping me with that. I have a new YouTube channel dedicated firstly to Vallie, but also to reborns in general, its called RebornValliesMommy and I would love for you to check it out if you have the time. I have made a few videos already, but I had to hide my USB cable from my son as he kept borrowing it and not giving it back, and unfortunately I hid it so well I now cant find it LOL I am going to buy a new one tomorrow, so I should hopefully be uploading my vids in the next couple of days (as long as I can figure out the YouTube video uploader )
I am excited at finally being a "fully fledged" member of this incredible and supportive community, and I am really looking forward to chatting with you more. Hoping to "speak" with you soon and sending you love and hugs in the meantime xxx

Thank you Lala
Aww thanks for that - it took us ages to decide on her name (traditional but not old-fashioned, something to do with "love", my favourite flower, etc etc lol) Will you be revealing baby's name on your box opening?

Name Reveal
Yep....I'll reveal her name during the box opening. I checked my tracking..and my baby girl is in transit on her way to me. Tomorrow is going to be nuts for me. I'm sure I'll keep checking her tracking although I'm not really expecting her till Wednesday.

Name Reveal and Oh My Goodness!
That is wonderful! I am genuinely so excited for you because I know what I felt like when Vallie arrived home Yay the little princess is coming home so soon now, and she is going to look amazing in all of the beautiful clothes you bought her (I love your taste in baby clothes btw). Ooh ooh please do her first photoshoot when you have the time Oh heck - will you look at how I am acting LOL! I am *ahem* the age I am now and here I am getting all excited and using all the emoticons like I'm 15 again Mind you, it is kinda fun lol x

Also
Guess what I am also getting excited about? I have finally found a travel system on Preloved - and (the best bit) it is only £30ono. The only thing is the lady lives a little ways away from me and I have mobility issues, also it is currently snowing BUT I am a woman on a mission! I am determined to get to that buggy and car seat somehow - even if I have to ski there on my behind lol. Its in black and ideally I wanted pink/lemon for her, but for £30 I'm not going to complain one bit. I figure I can find some cute material to recover it with and maybe make a craft project out of it. Then again I always wear black so I might just leave it. Its ridiculous how excited I am getting about this stuff

Excitement....
LOL... thanks for sharing my excitement. Yes I'll do a photo shoot. I plan to make a baby album. Also which ever pic I like the best I'll frame too. Ohh I'm happy you found something for your little one. I still need to get a carseat and stroller. Hopefully Friday I'll get that accomplished since I'm traveling to the doll show Saturday and plan to take the little honey with me. Also, we're never too old for emoticons *giggles

Re: Tell Me about Yourself
Hi Violet,
I haven't made any videos yet but I think I will want to do one for the box opening. When I do it I will be sure to post a link for it. I'm pretty sure it will be a few weeks tho. His painting just got finished, so my artist is working on his hair now. I told my friend about my baby coming soon when I saw her today. She offered to have a baby shower for me. I'm not sure if we will really do it, but it was so sweet of her to offer. She is excited for me and really encouraged me to explore my hobby and love for reborns. She is such a good friend. I am going to start making the bedding for the bassinet I bought for him. I really want it to be done when he gets here. At the moment I don't have anything special planed to do with him or anywhere to take him after he arrives, but I'm sure it will be fun just to cart him around once he is here. I'm still looking for a car seat. Unfortunately, all of the car seats I see on ebay are quite expensive. I can't imagine paying so much for a used seat for a doll, especially when the shipping costs more than I would pay for the seat! I don't want to take my baby anywhere with out a car seat, so I know I want to have one as soon as I find one for a decent price. I'm sure it is very uncommon, but I have heard stories of reborn moms getting pulled over or having their cars opened by police because they saw a baby in the car and it was either not secured properly by a car seat or it was left in the car and the police thought it was a real child! I will be sure to have the proper seat, and to make sure that when I travel with my baby that he will be safe.

Re: Tell Me about Yourself
Hi Lauren il keep a look out for your video, il post the link on here when I have mine done. I think im only going to do the box opening to start with. That's really nice of your friend, its lovely to have someone you know to be just as excited as you. I have a good friend that I could tell but can't bring myself to tell her yet, i know she wouldn't feel the way i do about re borns and wouldn't want her to feel she has to go along with it just for me... My re born was finished when i adopted him, he's new i just have to finish paying for him witch will be in 2 weeks. I haven't got a car seat yet as i won't be taking him out, but your so right you do need one if your going out. I also heard the thing with the police, you have to be careful!! Its great to chat to you talk soon x

Well from what I know they can be really fragile and some people take them to town and when people see them they think they are real

Re: Tell Me about Yourself
Hi I know I'm late to the party here but I thought I'd share my story. I first got into collecting reborns in 2009. I had just lost my baby girl a year earlier. She was born at 41 weeks and it still is to this day very hard for me to handle when her birthday rolls around. I got my actual first reborn in 2009. His name was cohin. I do not remember the artist sculpt or name...I just remember he was wonderful. He was a very spoiled reborn. I had him for about a year before my then husband and I finally finalized our divorce. I had to sell cohin unfortunately. I finally got a chance to purchase two beautiful reborn babies again last month. I purchased two different ones by two different artists. One boy who we (myself and current hubby) named Matthew Oliver. We call him MO for short. We also have a new baby girl reborn who we renamed Danielle Wednesday. They are both just so precious. That's my story. Thanks for "listening."
