le bebe royal: poppy beatrice

sorry for the long silence on my end...things have been quite, shall we say, "interesting". hah!

it was a long, challenging end-of-pregnancy and a pretty harrowing birth (particularly for her momma!), but me and the mister got the greatest gift EVER at the end of it all: our new little baby girl, poppy beatrice. she was finally born on 8/19.

it may continue to be quiet 'round these parts for a little while, as we all get adjusted to our new lives with one another. :)

thanks for all your well-wishes and kindnesses. i miss you all tremendously.

half-arsed maternity "leave"

no bebe royal...yet! her due date is friday.

(a little hat i made for le bebe royal)

feeling no rumblings at all...well, maybe a few, but nothing big that makes it seem like her entrance into the world is imminent. what's going on in there, girl?? *points at belly questioningly*

anyway...

i've decided i'm going to take a wee maternity "leave", as i am trying to finish up some last minute personal things before she decides to arrive, and thus, i think blogging best take a back-seat, for now.

and perhaps for a bit after she's here, of course. will be in the baby zone for a time!

which means a hiatus from some of the things i regularly post here, like (not so) random links and the wardrobe_remix(ers) o' the week, for just a bit. hope you understand!

will keep you informed of her arrival...whenever that is!

love to all.

wardrobe_remix(ers) o' the week

oh, how i wish i had the energy (right now) to look as stunning and stylish as you do (always), my pets!
keep it going, as you always do!
