Bows for Baby & Me

For those of you who aren't caught up on the current events of my life... I have a new niece. According to all the pictures that my brother/parents have emailed (and or pixed to me), she is adorable. I, sadly, have been unable to meet her as yet, due to an infection that started the week she was born, and just keeps on hanging on. (Per the doc, the antibiotic that I'm on now should clear any and all traces of the infection and I should be able to see her on Friday... on her 2 week birthday. Halle-freakin-lujah, and it's about time!)

Anyhoo... though I have been unable to actually see/hold/play with Baby Hazel, I've been thinking about her A LOT. So when I went to my friend Lizzie's Girls Night In Party last night, I commissioned matching hair flower/bows to be made for both of us. Check it.
Lizzie made these for us. (She is THE NICEST!) Aren't they awesome? I wore them on my head just over my ears for most of the night, Princess Leia style. (Anything to get Han Solo, y'know.) I ended up moving them up to the top of my head, for the sake of my hearing and... the claustrophobia. Not to mention, Han was nowhere in sight, so the obtrusive flower/buns on the side of the head look wasn't doing anything for me. (And yeah, I know I'm looking a little peaked in this photo... Don't be cruel. I told you I've been sick - my color is still a bit off. Clearly. And yet I continue to post pics of myself online. I know, it cannot be explained.)
I live in anticipation of the day that I get to see the new babe and we can have an Aunt/Niece photoshoot in our matching super cute really really big flower clips. Wahoo! (Oh yeah, you gotta KNOW I'll be blogging about it as soon as it happens!)

Seriously, I can't wait to see the two of you with your matching hair flower/bows. That is going to be too stinkin' cute.

Kels... Thanks so much, you're sweet. I am feeling MUCH better. Still a little ugly (the swelling is almost gone and my color's still... uhm, not there), but I'm feeling 95% today. Which is a FAR CRY better than the approximate 5% I was feeling this time last week. :)

And Genevra... you just wait and see. We're gonna be adorable in our matching flower bows. I'll totally be her fav aunt when I give her such a prize! :)

You are too funny! I love the bows and only wish that I had some too. She definitely will think of you as her favorite aunt. Hands down! Hope you are feeling better soon. It's never fun to be sick and for so long.

I am very much looking forward to an aunt/niece photo shoot! I LOVE the name Hazel! I'm just gonna keep telling you that cause it's SO cute! Hey, I'm curious, have you had your future babies' names picked out since you were little, or are you playing it by ear?

Laurie said...

Oh Mandy, you CAN have bows too! They were super easy! (Or, I should say, they LOOKED really easy to make. Since Liz made mine and all, I can't speak first hand.) Next time we have a party, I'll have to drop you a line. You could totally come and girl-party with us.

And Kim, you are the cutest. There are some names that I love, that I'd like to have a chance to use. BUT nothing is set in stone. And I need to find a baby daddy, you know, before I go and name the future kiddos. How does that old saying go? "Don't name your babies before the egg's fertilized?" Oh no... I think it's "Don't count the chicks before the eggs are hatched." Or something like that. It's something about eggs, and not doing something before there's an end product... that's all I know. You get the picture, I'm sure. That having been said, I am taking applications for future baby daddies, if you... erm... happen to know of anyone?

Mich said...

Yeah, why on earth have you been posting pics where you look like death gone rancid? Hehehe.

And the appropriate Laurie response: GTH Mich.

Ah, you know I'm just messin' wi' ya! (Apparently I think I'm a black homey. ...I am challenged...)
