Sounds about like the timeline we had in September 2010. It worked out pretty well, there was only one that had her baby before the beads came in.

This is great, I would be interested. We do this as part of our mothers blessings in my AP parenting moms group- its such a special thing.

I just found my beads (and notes) not too long ago from DS2's October 2008 group. Of course with the hormones, it made me cry lol.

I will probably post details and have a sign up open around April. This was we can get a good count of how many ladies want to participate (of course I will add a few more to the final count just in case we get some that sign up later...i was one of those for my last DDC and grateful that our organizer let me jump in! lol) 

So keep your eyes open for more details in about 3 months! So excited :)

I definitely want to be in the bead swap. I used to do them a while back, but then they died out, it seemed. I'd also volunteer to host a second group if you get too many people signed up for the main swap.

I dont post often but I want to be in this for sure.  I've organzed several from MDC with my other children.  I would honestly do it before June, since some of us could go early. Do we still have to go off MDC to chat about this? I had to create another group (I used yahoo)  in the past bc of MDC rules. I CANT WAIT!!! :D

Im planning on posting details in teh next week or so in hopes that we can get the beads to me by the beginning-mid May and then I will mail them out from there. I move at the end of May, so works best for me to get these mailed out to everyone at end of May (meaning you all mail me YOUR beads by mid May) Details will be posted soon.
