Whoorl Header #6

It’s a Girl!

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!

    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.

    Congrats! We are happily raising two girls over here and the best bit of advice I can give is for D: Tell her over and over and over again how beautiful she is. Yes, she’s going to be beautiful on the inside and praise that too. But we were utterly shocked to find out how early our daughters wanted their Dad’s approval about their appearance. My husband does such a great job at this. He notices little details about their hair and outfits and you can tell it means a lot to the girls. He also buys them flowers and takes them out for special Daddy/daughter dates. The women I know in real life who are the most confident are the ones who had a great relationship with their Daddy. We figure that if our daughter grows up hearing that she is beautiful and is being treated as such, she is going to be less likely to put out for the first loser that hands her a wilted carnation and tells her she’s kinda cute.

    I’m with you – had a boy first, girl second. I originally (pre-kids) would have wanted the reverse, but this is A-OK, too. I fully expect to see my daughter’s friends wanting to date her brother and my son’s friends wanting to date my daughter. And then I will fall over dead.

    Girls are different from boys (duh), but I tell myself daily to just go with the flow. I’m sure you’ll do this beautifully. Congratulations.

    First of all, OFFICIAL CONGRATULATIONS, even though I MAY have already congratulated you once before. (Is there such a thing as too many happy wishes of joy? NO THERE IS NOT.)

    So, my advice.

    I spent SO. MUCH. MONEY on little sweet dresses and then… they were awful to deal with until she started walking. Dresses are so cute on the hanger! But then you have to put a baby wearing a dress into a car seat and… it just bunches and wrinkles and GAH. And a baby CRAWLING in a dress… it just makes the whole thing impossible. If I could tell myself one thing, it would be to buy a few dresses in infant sizes (because WHO CAN RESIST THEM ALL) but to be prepared to not be able to really go nutso until she’s big enough to walk and model them correctly.

    The end.

    (SO SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!)

    YES!! You’re going to love it. We have a nearly three year old boy and now a seven month old girl. It took us a while to get excited about having a girl because we were so enamored with having a boy – but we knew we were being silly! Little girls are fun and big brothers rock! The dress tip is a good one – carseats and crawling do make them difficult. I would say get ready to have to organize and store more types of clothing/accessories. In addition to onsies, pants, socks & shoes – you’ve got tights/leg warmers, hairbands/bows, way more hats, and those little frilly underpants that people love to give for under dresses – I’ve got about 15 pairs!! So drawer dividers and closet organization is key. Congrats again!! I can’t wait to see her!!

    How exciting! I’m thrilled for both of you. Wito’s response could not be any cuter! :)

    I look forward to seeing photos of the new place and the changes you’ll be making!

    I just came across your blog randomly, but wanted to add my congrats. We have a three year old son and a one year old daughter and feel SOOOO lucky to experience both a son and a daughter. Wishing you and your family the best!

    I grew up as one of two girls, the only piece of advice I have for you is this: When the kids get older, make sure any shared bathroom has a double vanity. Two sinks = crucial to your survival as a parent of 1, 3, or 15 girls.

    Oh, congrats!! I will chime in as the grateful mother of a boy and a girl. While I would never say “it’s better,” I will say that watching the differences between these two children…both in gender and in temperament…adds a dimension to parenting I never could have expected.

    So, so happy for you!

    Congrats on your news! I thank God every day for my two beautiful girls and don’t know how I would move through this world without them. I look forward to everything about them growing up and the things we will be able to share, manicures, spa visits, shoe shopping trips, makeup tips….oh the possibilities are endless.

    BUT, girls are way more sticky to handle than boys so get your patience on because you will be dealing with every emotion under the sun.

    Girls actually care about what they are wearing so enjoy picking the outfits for as long as you can, because before you know it, no matter how fashionable and hip you are they will think you are the biggest dork who doesn’t know how to dress….except for sometimes.

    Sincere congratulations. You are truly blessed.

    I’m just not sure where to start with this one. Cogratulations is guess would be the natural place. Love the dress. You will have endless fun dressing your little darling. I have a 21 month year old girl and she is a constant joy. I also have a 16 year old step daughter. She’s just now coming out the other end of the hormonal rage stage. I see a light at the end of the tunnel but cannot imagine my own little redhead from the ages of 13-15. God help me.

    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.

    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! 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!

    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!

    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.
