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!
Congrats! I have two boys myself so I have NO advice to offer you. Your daughter is going to have THE BEST hairstyles EVAH, though. :)
a girl!!
now you wil have someone to carry out the hair thursday legacy.
so so so excited.
Congratulations!!!
YAY! Congrats on a little girl! So fun.
Yay a baby girl! We have a 3 year old girl and a 1 day old girl and a 21 month boy. Little girls are just precious! Congratulations! Oh the little clothes are SO cute!
What happy, happy news!
My children are now in their 20s, a girl and a boy.
My advice?
Enjoy the clothes. And the wee shoes. And the tiny jackets and the clever hats and…
sniff…
those days and years that race by. The ones where you get to choose the outfits.
Good luck with the move. I enjoy reading your blog for your fresh style.
Oh Congrats. Little Girls are darling. Little Boys are lovely too, but to be able to have one of each…….YAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!
A girl! A girl! Hurrah! Derby is going to be an awesome big brother.
Congratulations! That’s the combo we have- first our boy, then our girl. It’s fun and wonderful!
Love that dress too!
So happy for you!
I FINALLY GET TO BUY GIRL CLOTHES. Hallelu-JAH! Counting down the days till summer tiiiiiime.
What a perfect pair your Wito and Wita? will make. Maybe she should be Whoorlita instead.
As a mother of 3 boys, we’re all about the penis at my house. Sorry, no advice. I don’t think you’ll have any problems with all things girlie.
Congratulations!!!
Congratulations! I’m a lurker who’s been following your blog regularly since you were pregnant with Wito. Girls are fab and I speak from experience having 3 of my own from 18 to 4 yrs old. Totally agree with “Sadie at heymamas” ~ brace yourself for the emotional roller coaster and dress ‘em while you can because at about age 3 when the independence kicks in you will have no say-so anymore. Forget about a budget ~ impossible. BUT, don’t spend good money on dress shoes… they wear ‘em once and grow out of them. Go to Target. Oh, and even though they are tacky and ugly, every little girl needs a pair of sparkle shoes… the look on her face when she has those on her feet is worth EVERY fashion violation!
A Whoorlita. yay! Congratulations!
Congratuations!!!!!
congratulations! welcome to the world of pink, there are so many cute girl clothes, cute girl bedding, cute doll babies, it is a whole new world, enjoy! and the sweetest thing, she will have a big brother who will protect her and love her! congrats!
How blessed you are to have one of each! Congrats! And, oh the little girl clothes/accessories are to DIE FOR. How fun to start shopping!

This is sort of gross, but necessary, advice – remember to wipe front to back when changing the diaper. I have a 4 year old daughter, a 2 year old son, and another daughter who is 4 months old and it’s been a challenge to remember that with her. You don’t really have to pay attention to that with a boy, but the girls can get an infection. Congrats on the house!
late on the draw, but congrats, friend. Your girl is going to be so beautiful.
many congrats! so exciting. that is going to be one stylish little lady! cheers!
A wee late on this…but CONGRATS….man you better pray for a head of hair fast. There is nothing like a mop of hair to complete those amazing outfits and tights she will be sporting. I don’t think you need advice, you are going to do great. Can’t wait to see what nickname you give her to compliment Wito’s.
