DH is 7 months-old, legally, but since she was a preemie, she is only 5-month old in adjusted age, so I hope I qualify to participate :)

Moineau 01/ 5/2012 #

Ooops; I meant DD of course :)

Aww, my DD is 8 months! Gutted I can't participate!

@Moineau age adjusted is fine. My friends daughter was born at 25 weeks and is thriving, so I understand the age adjustment.

@flugella as my own pregnancy / baby progresses, I will host more of these for older babies and moms, and will be sure to let you know. Emily.

What is DD by the way?

I'm pregnant with my second, my son is five. Can I still participate?

Would you mind if I hosted this swap for US only? I want to do this but I can't afford to send out of country and I know others who cant too. I would give you credit for creating the original swap :)

This swap is for moms to be who are expecting their first child AND for brand new moms with a baby under 6 months of age.

If your profile doesn't indicate you are one of the above, I will drop you from this swap.

Thanks! Emily

Does "treat" have to mean food or can it be a suprise, as long as its under $5?

naiexoxo 01/11/2012 #

lilmissthrifty : :) Its is so much fun at 4 months..lots of changes. fun and action just began :)

NorthernNeedles 01/14/2012 #

treat just means a surprise for Mom. Something you think she would like.
