It’s a Girl!

in Family

We’re having a little girl! A LITTLE GIRL! Bring on the dresses, tights, pigtails and teenage hormonal rage! As you can see, I couldn’t help myself and bought this darling Imoga cross stitch dress for the little one on Gilt (they have a children’s section, sohelpmegod), but I PROMISE to keep my little girl clothing expenditures in check.

(HAHAHAAAAAAAAA. Ha.)

We are so incredibly thrilled to be given the chance to raise both a boy and a girl, and when we told Wito the exciting news, he clasped his hands together and exclaimed, “Oh, a girl! I’ve always wanted something soft to sleep with!” Cue heart explosion. He is going to be such a wonderful big brother.

Oh! And! We got the house and will be moving in three weeks. Hooray! There is much to do before we move in, so the remainder of January will be a bit crazy. D is spending his evenings and weekends at the new place, and it is going to be a race against time to get our changes complete before moving day. I’ve been trying to document the renovations with photos, though, so hopefully I can post some of the small improvements we are making to bring this 60s modern back to her original glory.

In the meantime, please feel free to bestow upon me your best baby girl-rearing advice. We’ve been solely about the penis ’round here for the past three years, so any and all advice is welcome!

    Congratulations! I know nothing about raising girls, but I know they have way cuter clothes! Good luck keeping that shopping habit in check!

    I’ve had one of each for three whole weeks now, so I am an Expert. Here is my advice: wipe front to back, and remember that girls wet their diapers further back than boys. Until she’s bigger, that’s exactly the only difference whatsoever.

    I had a boy first, then a girl. We love having one of each. You are going to have a blast! (Can you tell I haven’t reached “hormonal rage” yet?)

    Congratulations!!!

    Congratulations! Little girls are so much fun. I will agree with what you already know, though – keeping spending in check with all those precious, adorable little girl things available is nearly an impossibility.

    Even though you already told me, I am so! excited that you’re having a girl. I love my boys as much as their sister, but there’s something different about girls.

    (Related: the hormonal rage kicks in at birth. Seriously.)

    Well I don’t have to tell you how awesome sister’s are. So woohoo that Wito gets to have one. So happy for you. While your site was loading I kept saying “be a girl. be a girl. be a girl.”

    My best girl-rearing advice: Don’t circumcise!
