Andy and I knew that we wanted the moment to be really special when Harlow finally got to meet her baby brother. I say finally, because I think she was flabbergasted by how long it took for him to arrive. Almost every morning, I was greeted by, “Did baby bwover come out yet, mommy?” or at naptime, “is he still in there, mommy?”
When I found the Peek-A-Whoo shop, an online boutique run by friends Kelley and Heather, I knew one of their personalized items would be perfect! We wanted something that Harlow could give as a present to her baby brother when she first met him — but we also loved the idea of giving her a gift when we dropped her off with friends on our way to the birth center.
These Jellycat bunnies fit the bill — I was blown away by how cuddly these little guys are! The fur is so soft and snuggly. Harlow’s has her name stitched in pink on one ear, and Jones’s initials are in blue on his.
The afternoon of the 18th, it was clear that my contractions weren’t stopping, so we got our bags packed, Harlow’s bag packed, and we headed over to her BFF JoJo’s house. Before we left, we gave her lots of hugs and kisses and her bunny too! Harlow was so excited: about her bunny and that her baby brother was finally making his debut.
So when we were heading home the next morning, I was so excited that Jacquie would be there to catch Harlow’s first moments meeting her brother. I am blown away by the love she captured in these photos — and Harlow was pumped about her present to Jones….if you can’t tell by the photo below. :)
Today I’m so excited to be giving away a Jellycat bunny from Peek-A-Whoo! Take a moment to online window shop a bit — their stuff is so cute! And you can use the coupon code COCOBABY for 10% off the Jellycat bunnies!
Good luck!
Jacquie, I cannot thank you enough for capturing these first moments! I can’t wait to share my most favorite photo you snapped, but it deserves a post of its own! xo!
What a sweet idea! The look on Harlow’s face oozes love!
Great photos!
They have so many cute things. I would want to buy it all. I love their blankets! I have entered. Thank you for hosting. My email is perezashley60@hotmail.com
Such a sweet giveaway. I’m pregnant with #2 and due Dec 4, so the jellycat bunny would be a fab present for my son to give to his new baby sister :)

The jelly cat bunnies are SO CUTE. But I also love the monogrammed Aiden and Anais blanket!
So cute ! Thanks for the giveaway.
We bought my oldest daughter her own chair with her name on it and told her it was her “big sister” chair, that only she got to use. It was the perfect size for her to sit in and “hold” her baby sister when she came home.
I would definitely get the jellycat bunny! Our son (17 months old now) is going to be a big brother in March, so I’m definitely loving this idea of using the bunny as a present for little sis/bro.
My husband ran home at five in the morning to bring our girl to meet her sister at the hospital! She was so excited!
So sweet!
That bunny is the SWEETEST thing. My son is just beginning to get into stuffed animals and he picked up a soft, soft bunny at the toy store the other day… we didn’t get it for him, but these are even cuter! I may have to order one!
we have a jelly cat bunny. white one!! her most prized toy. was at the hospital when she was born. henry has a bear. LOVE the idea of personalizing them!!

Love your idea for introducing Harlow to Jones! Might borrow this idea when it’s our time to introduce D to her sibling.

I love jellycat stuffed animals. They are the softest! I would get the monogrammed jellycat dog for my baby boy due in january.
I would definitely get the Chelsea Weekender Tote!

Our #2 was born on July 30 and his big sis got also got a special present. Love the matching bunnies idea!
You have such a sweet family! Love all your pics!
We gave our kiddos disposable cameras and a little scrapbook to slide the pictures into. They were allowed to take as many pictures as they wanted and we put their pictures into their scrapbook to take to school to show their friends. They loved this!
I have been obsessed with the jellycat animals for a while now. I adore the monogram idea!
Such a great post! I love Harlow’s expressions in all the pics! Such a great big sis. Been following your instagram and blog for month’s now. I love all your posts! Congrats and welcome baby Jones! Peek-a-whoo has so many cute items too btw, I would love to get a monogrammed trick or treat bag for my toddler for this Halloween from Peek-a-whoo, or the cute jellycat bunny!
Absolutely love Harlow’s reaction to Jones. So beautiful! Those bunnies are to die for, as well. I would love to get one for my little girl with her initials monogrammed on it.
I love the Jellycat Dog. I have a dinosaur for my older son and would love to get one for my youngest too!
I love the monthly stickers and monogram gown.
I love the Zubels Knit Dolls!

Ohhhh my gosh… SO… we have a little luv bug on the way & were just talking the other night how we need to find a special “lovie” not only for our babes on the way, but a nice present from her to big bro when she arrives!! THIS would be beyond amazing!!! I adore how simply special these little lovies look & the fact that you can get them stitched w/ intials is so perfect. Plus they do look so cozy & soft. Thanks so much for the sweet chance hon! P/S These pics of your two littles together just makes my heart happy… so sweet. I can’t wait to capture some just like these. Ohhhh, congrats on that adorable babes… Jones is such a cool name!! xx
