Mrs_P,

I DO have a baby girl, but I still feel like a fraud for shopping in the girl section. It is SO mental! I was looking at Christmas girl dresses longingly one day, and then the thought occured to me...that yes, I could actually buy one! And then I still hesisated...

And Rachel, I did not buy a single piece of anything pink or frilly or girly whatsoever before I found out I was having a DD. I was too paranoid that I'd jinx it. Even as it were, I went shopping the weekend I found out I was having Lillian, there were two other very glamorous looking ladies shopping in the girl section (the kind you know that would just HAVE to have girls....all dressed up and toenails pedicured, etc) and I felt like an ugly cow who didn't belong in the girl clothing section shopping for a daughter! I also had the whole 'what if the ultrasound was wrong?' vibe going too.

You are not alone, I have a plastic box in the basement full of girl clothes that were purchased while pregnant with our first and then our second too. I cannot bear to give them away, I feel that if I did then my dream would actually be over. I too occasionally take a peek in the box and sigh.

I bought one cute girlie outfit that I put under the mattress. I didn't tell DH either. I did sign up for a secret santa thing for a girl just so I could go buy lots of cute girlie things... That little girl got 2 outfits, a pullover, pjs, pink boots, mittens and hat, dolls.... whoa and I don't even know her.
