Naomi, I always saw myself with a bub by 25 and I got one - 3 weeks before I turned 26.. (am 28 now) and am having great difficulty getting the next real baby. Am getting a fake one made at the moment (yeeehawww!) and hope to have it in the next month (gawd I hope so!!)
I need to sell my website/auction template so I can buy another reborn baby. but no one wants to spend money on a webtemplate set when they can get them so much cheaper... I want to support one of the Aussie Artists!! (US artist doing my doll at the moment - trade for a c ustom website design)
Leah, I was looking at Michael's listing and the thing that stood out to me most was that his hands were covered. I know that you were going for the gloved look, but personally, I prefer so see the bubba's hands... I think he is adorable, but perhaps the photos are just not selling him for you? maybe a few different pics?
I had three in 3yrs5mths all on bottles and all in nappies. Six dozen nappies a day, come rain, hail or shine. No cloths dryer only pegs and coat hangers in the bathroom, OH and in winter a heater. The kids these days don't know how easy they have it., and mine are amongst them. Mine are always saying, yes we know how tough you had it, but life is different now.What the truckies stepping out their truck into a dirty nappy, How hard is that?June M from Oz
June i know exactly where you are coming from i have 3 children, one with ADHD, one with special needs and one with the aggressive ADHD ... arent reborn babies so well behaved??? LOL ... although my children are very challenging... i love them to bits... =)

I've been a nanny, one family i was with had 3 under 4yrs when i started the middle child diagnosed with autism and on the extreme end of the autistic spectrum - he was non verbal and didn't even respond to his name. and the baby was 6mths.
then i went from that to a one child family, a baby girl only 4months old. It was like heaven to go from full on esp with Jamie and the autism, to this angelic little girl. Even at aged 2 i have never had a tantrum from her. She was a dream through teething, sickness and all. I can probably only count a hnadfull of ratty days i had with her over 2yrs. She turned 2 end of feb and parents had decided that once she turned 2 she'd go to childcare instead of having a private nanny.... i miss her so very much, we became very attached to each other.
I feel like i've raise other peoples kids -- and then had to let them go. I'm like, when's it my turn??!!!
My ex and i broke up a year and a half ago. We had talked of marrage and all, the "plan" was married by 25, have our first when i was 26. That was until he started showing his "true" colours. Alcohole etc need i say more.
I moved back in with my folks feb last year. And i seriously don't know that i really want to be in a relationship ... the more i contemplate it all the more i feel like i truly might chose to become a single mother and use IVF.
I haven't had a chance to look at Micheal again, even though I have been down loading into Artist Showcase. Have had some very diturbing news and am trying to keep busy. My three girls IVF dr's wife died today and she was only 50' Just had a very special Birthday and he got a helecopter to land in their back yard to take them out to Dinner. He bought her Diamond necklace and ear rings and a matching ring. His youngest is only9 and we think she passed on yhe eldests 18 th Birthday. June Sorry if I'm a bit off.
Naomi... I'm one of those people who would tell you to just do it.. but I'm not always the most sensible person!
Leah, I was told I would have difficulty having kids and then wham, Tara turned up. We were not trying but truly blessed. Now that we are trying we can't fall pregnant (go figure!!). More tests next week, then Fertility specialists the next week... lots of stuff going on. Hopefully I can have another..
Naomi it isnt easy being a singel mum hun and it gets soo so lonely at times it really is wonderful to share a child with the person you love please think about your descion before making it a permenant one ive done both had a baby with a lovely man and done it on my own too and i choose having a loving hubby to share my joy with so much more than doing it all alone im not saying dont do it as it may be right for you but please just have a think about it (((hugs)))

Leah i realise its a huge decision to make, and not to be made on a whim -- my family have said they would support me in my decission if i do chose to do it alone... they woulnd't frown on it. Of course my mother insists on trying to hook me up with anyone she meets or even see's on TV, in a mag... anyone!!!
I've kind of got the plan lay in my head... that if i've not met someone or in a relationship that might be looking to a possible future by the time i'm 27 then i'm going to go it alone. I've been clucky since i was born!!!! seriously!!! but with the way the years are flying by 27 is just a stones throw away and i just don't see a man coming into my life... partly b/c i rarely leave my house or socialise and partly b/c i really don't have much desire to go out and socialise or met anyone.
When i picture my future i can imagine myself and my child... i can no longer imagine the husband part... but maybe i was just burnt a little too much with my ex... maybe the more time that passes i can one day think of letting another man into my world. But i think i feel rather content and happy at the dream of being a mum on my own or even the possibility of raising my child in an extended family environment in my own parents home -- the house is large and i have my own "wing" basically.
The thoughts and plans are there and i've spoken with my family about it all... but so as not to be making a rash decision i've given it a few more years before i'll let myself act on it.
so glad your going to wait a little while hun alot can happen in two to three years :) as for not meeting the man of your dreams because you dont go out etc welll i have a story to share there heheh im house bound have been for years and i thought the same way as you its never gonna happen, one day i was talking to my angels ( i do that alot hehe) and i sat and wrote a list it was a list of the qualities and what i want in a future man it was pretty long lol but at the very end i put he has to come knocking on my door for a coffee cause i dont go out then said i give it you angels its impossible i know but here it is anyway, i kind of had a bit of giggle because honest it really was impossible to get man like i had asked for hehe about 6 months later i had a freind come over for coffee well i heard a knock at the door and here was this fella standing there and behind him was my freind they came sat had a cuppa etc from that day on the fella and I were inseperable we got married a year later and we are still very much inlove although at this time we cant live together long story for another time that one :) but he had everything i asked for on my list he even knocked on the door for a coffee hehe anything is possible in this world :) ((((Hugs)))

Naomi, my Mom got married at 25, she now has 10 kids! And she's only 40 years old now. Just wait a little longer, you've a while yet. And just because you marry a little later doesn't mean you can't have a lot of children. :) I'm her eldest daughter, and actually her baby #10 is still in her womb. Just thought I'd share that

Tiana, I wouldn' be to worried just yet about another real baby, nature takes care of it's own. MY girls had to wait long time and it sees we don't get more than we can handle. Old wives tail you have probably heard a millian times, but It lways happens when you least expect it. JUNE M from oz
