D'awww...

Feb. 5th, 2008 at 8:28 AM

toomuchplor: (Default)

I don't think I've mentioned this on LJ, but both my brothers have been scheduled to have babies in February. One of them jumped the gun a little.

Elena, 9 lbs 3 oz (my poor sister in law), wearing the first in a long line of clothing I plan to make for her and force her to wear. I don't actually even like this sweater but it's wee and has bunny buttons so I guess it was worth the work. But I can do better with knitting. I swear!

Ahaha, I love her expression: "YOU ARE ALL EVEN WEIRDER THAN I SUSPECTED."

Mood: cheerful

I know, she's got a soccer ball head! It's HILARIOUS.

These are things I'm not allowed to say to my brother, his wife, or my mom. It is Not Permitted. But she's SO FUNNY. I'm sure she'll cuten up some more. Eventually. *g*

Aw, yeah, she is pretty cute. I think she's probably still in shock about who she drew for parents.

*loves her brother*

Apparently the cat is a nanny cat. He sits a few feet away from her and leaps to his feet and meows when she starts fussing.

Oh, she's adorable, in that slightly-disgruntled-newborn-baby way. IMHO, they're all a little pissed at being removed from the warm cozy womb where food was delivered to them at convenient intervals.

That sweater is completely adorable. Well done, you!

Yes, this poor wee one got put there as a tiny embryo, gave her mother a miserable 9 months, had to be induced into labour, and ended up being delivered by C-section. As my (other) brother said, "she's not a baby at this point, she's an android!" So I guess you could say that the whole gestation experience didn't go smoothly for her. I'm sure it's all uphill from here.

Oh bless her sweet heart! I'm thinking being out would be a lot easier. She's a miracle baby!

It's probably a good thing I'm not physicically there. Not sure I could resist PINCHING THOSE CHEEKS OMG. Look at them!

*G* was cute on the phone. "I am tired. So tired. But she is cute. She throws up a lot."

Me: "Um. Yay?"

*G*: "Tell *A* and *K* that they CANNOT HAVE TOO MANY FACECLOTHS. AND SLEEPERS. AND BOTTLES."

Me: "Hang on, let me get a pencil, I'll make a list."

Wow, look how I spelled 'physically'. And I'm not even sleep deprived!

Yes, Elena, you must model yourself on Auntie Katy and become an excellent speller like her.

Have you met her in the flesh yet? I do feel sympathy towards new parents and the lack of sleep, it is quite staggering how bad it is (according to reports). When I get to this year's year-end meme, I will be able to report 4 births *so far*. That's a lot of babies.

Oh my god, I am so tired of being at work. Please make it stop.

Your spelling is awesome, don't front. ;)

I haven't met her, and probably won't until the summer. I think I'll try and get out for a visit in July or August, though.

Awww. I thought maybe they had/would come visit. I was wrong.

There's a real brotherly resemblance around her mouth, I think...

They may yet come... who knows! No visit planned at the moment, as G is using up a chunk of vacation time to be with Baby.

I know, it's so his mouth. Minus the tragic scar from where he tried to run through a screen door as a child.

Baby!

Is she making little rock fingers with her left hand? She's wearing that bunny sweater *ironically*

Hey (she asked for no ulterior reason) what size is Genevieve these days anyway?

(I always need a reason to knit tiny clothes. They're fast and they're cute and the wearers never complain about them!)

*G* - She's just going into 6 - 9 month size clothing (she's 26 inches long and weighs 16 pounds as of her check up a week ago).

She's kinda cute, yeah. *g* I think all the poundage has stretched out the usual wrinkly newborn skin. Heee.

Isn't she? The first two pics my brother sent were awful. We were all going around saying, "I'm sure she'll get cuter!"...but now we've seen a few more pics we can tell that's she's already pretty darn cute.
