Wordy Wednesday
It seems every blogger knows what “Wordless Wednesday” is but for the newbs out there it’s basically when you get too lazy write anything (been there done that) and post only pictures in your blog. Preferably on a Wednesday. Hence the Wednesday part. Derrr! But there’s no way that I can post pics of my newborn identical twin nieces, Allison and Whitney, without getting a little… ok ALOT… wordy.
They were born January 30, 2010 at 4:01pm by emergency C-section. I can already tell they are going to be party girls (Be prepared BIL!) b/c they weren’t expected until end of March but decided to join the party on the day my SIL’s second baby shower was scheduled.
I actually haven’t been able to see them in real life yet. They are currently hooked up to a bazillion machines in the NICU where the rule is parents and grandparents ONLY. But you know what I say? Rules are meant to be broken! Let me in DAMMIT! I could pass as the grandma. Us, Asians age well. *snort* So right now all I have are pictures until they are strong enough to come home. We’re crossing our fingers that Hubs will get an early birthday present and he can hold both his nieces by the end of February.
Allison – She’s older by a 2 minutes (I think?). My MIL says she keeps yanking out her feeding tube. I think we know who’s gonna be the troublemaker in the pair. HA!
Whitney – My FIL says she always has her eyes wide open looking at you. See how she’s looking right at my MIL? Intense eyes.
Whitney – My MIL says that NICU is a really busy place so there’s always someone going in and out, babies crying, nurses talking etc. Doesn’t it look like she’s saying… “Shut up! I can’t hear myself think in here.”
Allison – Baby smile. All together now… Aaaawww…
You know what I think is interesting? People have told me that as soon as I see my nieces it might spark a little maternal instinct in me. Something that I’ve been adamant I don’t have. Now I would be lying if I said it didn’t give me a little flutter when I saw their pictures for the first time but I still don’t get that intense drive to procreate that friends tell me about experiencing.
Although what I can tell you is… I can’t wait to hold my nieces someday and I can already tell I’m going to spoil them rotten. Isn’t that what favorite aunties are suppose do? *wide grin*
I’m thinking miniature ponies for their first birthday. Every little girl needs her own pony. Oh… and pink cowboy boots too. That’s definitely a must!

I’m so glad for the “wordy” part of your post, because now I have all of the essential information behind the best part of the post: the PICTURES!! Those are some seriously adorable little girls. I have an Allison, so love that name, and certainly can’t argue with a Whitney either. I bought one of my nieces pink cowboy boots one Christmas and I got serious Auntie cool points for that one. Congratulations to you and your brother/SIL!!

They are both absolutely precious! I hope they are both strong enough to go home soon!

Gorgeous babies! Congrats Auntie!!! And yes, it IS your job to spoil them! Where I’m not sure if REAL ponies would work…I think the pink cowgirl boots will be a must!

Your nieces are so cute! I think you would be the coolest mom if you ever decide you want to be one.
