Man! I've gotten so behind on my PTRs and TRs. I am caught up on yours now, though!

I love all the bows you've gotten! As the bow-loving mother to 2 baldie girls, I feel your pain. I use glue on bows for my youngest, who is 6 months old. I also used them for my oldest from the time she was born until about 10 months old, when she was finally able to keep clip bows in. I ordered my bows from my friend in WI, but she had a family emergency not long ago (don't worry; everyone is fine!) and has shut down her website. I'm not sure when she'll be back up and running, but if you want to look around, here's the site:

I found these on etsy, but they don't come with glue. This woman offers suggestions, but I've never had anything stick as well as the Bella's Blessings glue.

I have also ordered bows from this etsy shop, and they are on super small clips.

They stay in really well on very fine baby hair. Once Shelby's hair comes in, I don't think these will work anymore.

I love Becky's bows, too! I haven't bought any yet, but I'm getting my list together. I will definitely be buying some character bows when I get some outfits planned!

Speaking of my babies....

I already have the name picked out for when I will hopefully have a daughter (Ella yeah, it's getting popular but I still love it)

That's my baby girl's name! We named her after my mom, whose first name is Marcella (but she goes by her middle name). It doesn't hurt that it's Cinderella's real name, too! Our Princess Ella gets to meet Cinderella in less than 10 months!!

Congrats on the Saints win! Like I told you before, we're Colts fans, but even though we lost, I'm still happy for y'all. Couldn't have happened to nicer guys. I have always liked Drew Brees, but after seeing him with his son, I'll forever be a fan! That was just the sweetest thing I think I've ever seen! I just melt when I see that replay. And can you imagine how his son will feel knowing that he was on the cover of SI at such a young age?? Unbelievably sweet.

Becky's bows have stayed in, until she pulls them out . I just put them back in after. Awww what a special moment when your Princess Ella gets to meet Cinderella! And that is my new sister's name too!

Thanks! I was crying my eyes out & screaming. Drew has become such a wonderful addition to the city & for his son to be on the cover of SI & in his 1st year be there at the Super Bowl...such a special little boy. The pics of him & Baylen make me cry everytime!

I am asking everyone to pray for Koby & Shelby. Koby has been running a fever all day of no lower than 102, so he has to go to the dr tomorrow. Shelby...is just really tiny. She has to go to the dr tomorrow also for a weight check. She is 9 months old (10 months tomorrow on the 12th) and is 14 lbs & 26 inches. Third percentile for weight & 5th for height. She eats like crazy & her blood work came out fine. At her 6 month check up she was 14 lbs. In 3 months time she gained 3 oz. If she has not gained at least 2 lbs, then more blood work & PediaSure to help her gain. Thank you all so much!

 

[BabyEeyore]

They will be in my prayers. I can imagine how scary it is for your kid to be so sick. Ashlyn had a high fever for one night and that was scary enough! She is small, too, always hanging around the 5th percentile for weight (and had dropped down to the 3rd at one point) so we've had to do the blood tests and go see a nutritionist and all that, too. I pray that everything will turn out okay.

 

[shelbys mommy]

Thank you so much! Koby has the flu. He picked the perfect time to get it since they are out of school all next week due to Mardi Gras. Shelby now weighs 15 lbs 13 oz so she gained!!!! We are sooooo happy! Her next appt is for her 1 yr check up on April 12th!

 

[ladybugmom]

YAY!!! Glad to hear that Shelby gained some weight!! She's so tiny!! My girls were always in the 95th percentile for everything--so I'm not used to that!! Praying Koby feels better soon!!

 

[SOUTHERNtinkerBELLE]

Awww, I'm sorry to hear Koby has the flu I hope he feels better soon!
And yay for Shelby's weight gain! That's great news!

 

[aharbin88]

Goodness! Shelby is a tiny little peanut! I'm so glad to hear that she gained! I'm with Becky, my girls have always been at least in the 50th percentile for weight and the 90th for height, so I'm not used to the tiny ones or the roly poly ones. Sometimes I wish I had a bunch of baby rolls to pinch!

 

[mickeystoontown]

Just found your link in the Louisiana lovers thread. Now, I have to go back and read all about your plans!

 

[mickeystoontown]

Whew! Went back and read all the details. I don't blame you one bit for all the tears. You guys have a beautiful family! AND the Saints won! AND you're going to Disney! Worth every tear you've shed.

Hope that Koby has recovered from the flu by now!

 

[shelbys mommy]

Phew, what a week!!!! Koby had the flu, then Brady got it, then Shelby! No rest for the weary mommy! I was up all hours of the night with all 3 kids!!!! Thank God the kids were out of school for Mardi Gras that way they didn't have to miss any school. They are all finally doing better now! Thank God!!!

And for the AWESOME news!!!!! Disney has been booked & paid off! We were waiting until our taxes came in, that way I could just book it & pay it off at once. And the check was in the bank that I know of at 6:30 am. By 7:15 it was booked & paid off!!!!!

Only 120 days to go!!!!!

[shelbys mommy]

Oh it's so nice to have that done & over with! Now I can do the fun stuff like SHOP!!!! And order the Disney bows from Becky! LOL!

Here is a video, amazing what you do to stay awake after being up all night with 3 sick kids: http://www.mymagicaldisneyvacation.com/6242?=3998378278

 

[shelbys mommy]

Wow! My dumb butt forgot to book my ADR ahead of time, even though the trip wasn't booked!!!! I just rememberd & called. Thankfully Play & Dine at Hollywood & Vine is available!!! And when they asked the ages of the kids & told them that Koby was turning 10 that day, they said they would have a very special birthday surprise just for him!!!! They also told me that when we get there I can tell them at the podium to have something special for Koby at the table or I can call back to arrange it later on!!! I can't wait!!!! They also asked if I would need a high chair or a booster seat for Shelby. I was very very impressed when I called to make the reservation. It's not June 19th yet?
