What a great Mother's Day present!

Pink it is chick. She will be adorable in it. How sweet....cotton candy gal.

mamasnest said...

Wow!!! I'm still getting used to this pink stuff! Dresses?! Wah-ooo, I'm scared to see what this girlies shoe collection is going to look like! ;)

Her first dress is beyond beautiful!

Not Just Any Jen said...

Ohhh, it is absolutely precious!

...Take it easy, girl! You are going to get a million gazillion gifts and don't forget how quick they grow!

But I don't blame you a bit.

a wandering heart said...

Congratulations! What a precious dress!

pinks & blues girls said...

OH MY GOSH!!! That is so adorable. Wish it came in my size! :)

Still smiling a huge, happy grin for you from yesterday!

Jane

BethGo said...

So precious!

and a little sassy!

Jennifer said...

Wow - that is absolutely precious! When I was preggers with my girl, I had so many girl clothes that I begged people to stop buying clothes. They wouldn't. Something about little girl clothes is so much fun to buy and everyone wants to get in on the action! We had so many clothes with tags still on that she never got to wear. (It could have had something to do with the fact that I seemed to birth a toddler, not an infant - so she didn't get to wear the tiny things!)
You are going to have so much fun picking out all the girl things. Mine is 3 and I still have a blast buying things for her! I adore my son, but my daughter is so much more fun to shop for!

Jennifer said...

I meant to add...have lots of fun picking out the pink stuff!

Danielle said...

Oh that is so cute! Shopping for little girls is so much fun!

very cute! Although, it's probably not the FIRST dress she'll be wearing as it looks a bit large...still very cut, though1

That is beautiful! It's absolute great fun to buy for girls! I often have to put myself in check!

Mason and Terri's Mom said...

I totally told you that having a girl would send down the road to debt!!!

I didn't realize you would jump in head first! AND THAT is what I call a first dress!!! WHOO HOO!! #4 livin in style!!!!!!!!!!!!!

abbyjess said...

I'd be doing the same thing for a little girl. That is just too precious. According to my mom (who bought me tons of little girly dresses), my first word was pretty which I said while dress shopping. She's going to be quite the little princess(and not in a bad way) amongst all those boys.

Honestly that pic doesn't do it justice, it's magical and precious and you almost feel like you can't touch it, it's that pretty. It's HERS, and we haven't even met her yet. Ahhh!

I wonder if she will look asian? ;)

Lori said...

Des said...

SO cute! I love it! I'm so glad you are embracing pink :) There's really no use fighting it, so it's best to just give in now :)

Deb - Mom of 3 Girls said...
