you know my niece was at the house two days ago. im just realizing right now that this might be the first time i mentioned on tumblr im an aunt now. since mainly i post my mundane and momentary thoughts on here, not my significant life updates that i do a lot of reflecting on. sometimes ill make the book im reading sound like a significant life update but alas. yes i have a niece now and she's just over a month old. she was over on sunday along w all my other siblings. it's actually the first time ive gotten to HOLD her bc she was in the nicu for awhile after she was born, and then shortly after she came home everyone in my house took turns catching colds. the niece was over though. yeah.

and my brother (not the one whose baby it is) said "you know her hair almost looks reddish." and it honestly. HONESTLY. it never occurred to me, for as long as ive been aware that i had a niece bakin in the oven (and i found out in like... mid-january that my sister-in-law was pregnant). for the entire year of 2023 i never pictured the possibility that i could have a niece or nephew with red hair. SOUNDS STUPID BECAUSE I HAVE RED HAIR. i know. i have a big irish family but in my generation out of all of my cousins, kaily and i are the only redheads. my brothers dont have red hair, neither do their wives. my parents dont. you know how jkr and other writers like to write a trope of an entire family (of celtic ethnicity) is all redheads? thats actually incredibly uncommon. if anything that's why i like having red hair; it has distinction. that distinction very much still holds within my own family tree.

so i love baby, i love her so much, she's wonderful. she's beautiful. i love her so so much. and i love her beautiful parents too. however, if she does end up having red hair. it's just reddish tinted right now and she doesn't have a lot of hair overall. and you know how babies are, it can change. if this little girl grows up with red hair i'm suing for copyright infringement. im sorry but i did it first so that's not fair.

#im kidding #i did make that joke though #tales from diana #never occurred to me for a second id have a niece or nephew with red hair. never #i mean i never was really able to picture what my brother's baby might even look like #she's so surreal to actually see #she looks a lot like here mother. a lot #the day she was born i saw the resemblance w my sister-in-law immediately #after she opened her eyes and whatnot ppl have been saying she looks like jon. i still dont see it much yet #not that she DOESNT look like him but she looks SO much more like her.#but also right now she's just a smooshed little baby. who knows! who knows what she will look like #she's a little cutie pie. i can tell you that much. i can tell you that much!#and such a little lovebug. although i have a hard time holding her bc i worry about breaking her #you know me im a nervous wreck. perhaps ill get over that eventually. perhaps!#at least where babies are involved. in general no there's no hope
