Oops...I did it again. I went and changed my blog name.
I have been It's Me Again, Pamela for a long time - but it was time for a change.
So - how did I come up with Pittypat's Reborn Nursery?
Pittypat Hamilton has been a favorite character name from one of my all time favorite movies for over 25 years. Gone With The Wind. Aunt Pittypat was Scarlett O'Hara's aunt by marriage and Melanie's aunt, as well. She was a roly poly woman with white ringlet curls. Always about to faint and needing her smelling salts. lol Anyway, the name has always been special to me.
When I first got into computer games, virtual places, chat rooms, etc. Pittypat was always my username. So naturally when I was looking for a name for my Reborn Nursery - Pittypat just sounded perfect.

When you have a Reborn baby that is filled (mine are doe suede with glass beads) you have the option of purchasing a tummy plate separate if you want. They are hand painted vinyl or silicone just like the doll head and limbs. Some artists sell them with the doll and some sell them separately. You can have them generic where there is only the belly and chest and no private parts. They generally have ribbons or ties to tie on to the baby.
I had the opportunity to purchase 2 at the price of 1 - a male and female with both being anatomically correct. I put one of Sally Jane and the other on Jackson. It didn't take me long to make the decision that I do NOT like them. Not at all! They are cumbersome, awkward and to me, just look weird. I took them off and have already decided to resell them on eBay.
I didn't take any pictures of them with them on.
Pros - for some - they add a more lifelike feature. They can be very realistic if you have them done by a professional artist. These 2 are very well made.
Cons - they make the baby feel bulky. They can be rather expensive - but like I said, I got the 2 for the price of one. They can run any where from $20 - $35 depending on the artist.
