My name is Allie. I live in one of the Washington DC suburbs. I believe every woman is utterly gorgeous, and can feel beautiful and stylish no matter her budget or body.

I have been keeping this blog since March 2005. Almost daily I post photos of my outfit, hair and makeup and list what brands and products I use. I occasionally provide product reviews and answer questions from readers.

I also maintain a blog about personal style (Wardrobe Oxygen).

Please email me if you are interested in advertising, linkshare or having me review your product!

As I looked at your picture I thought to myself, "it looks like she's carrying a girl". I scrolled down and read that you are. Congratulations!

Congratulations!! Have you started thinking about names?

I"m a fellow preggar (my 2nd) and due on Dec 27th. Congratulations to us both! So, far my hubby and I have opted to NOT find out the sex of the baby... though we're leaving it open to changing our minds. My first was a girl and I don't have a preference at all this time around. Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy and delivery!

 

Blogger Allie said ... (August 14, 2008 11:41 AM) : 

No names decided yet, but we have decided to not tell anyone until she is born. :)

It seems that it's 50/50 with people I know - if they are finding out or not. We would have been thrilled either way, so either would have been a lovely result! :)

Congrats to you on your upcoming baby! :)

Congratulations! It seems that the sonogram news has restored your usual smile.. was worried that it seemed a little muted yesterday!

congrats on the little girl! she will be such a stylish little thing.

you do realize you're going to have to show her daily wardrobe too, right? that doesn't make it a mommyblog and it's still about fashion!

I thought of you when I read this article today (though you already seem to be doing most of the tips listed):

Frequent reader but never posted - as a girl who grew up with almost that exact birthday, I have two pieces of advice! Resist the combination birthday/Christmas presents until she's older (and wants something BIG)...and give a small "half birthday" gift every year in June - sometimes the birthday gets lost in the Xmas shuffle :) My parents always did this and it really helped. Capricorns rule! CONGRATS!

 

Blogger Alabama Book Worm said ... (August 14, 2008 7:54 PM) : 

Congratulations! She'll be stylin'!

Woot! She will certainly be adorable and the best dressed baby girl around! Congratulations.

 

Blogger Gervy said ... (August 15, 2008 5:26 AM) : 

Thanks for posting the dear little pic. She looks very smart and like she might have good fashion genes...

 

Blogger Boutique Girl said ... (August 15, 2008 7:59 AM) : 

What fab news! Congratulations again to you and your husband! Great sonogram pic too!!

 

Blogger a brown-eyed grrl said ... (August 15, 2008 11:36 AM) : 

CONGRATS!!!

 

Blogger Christina Lee said ... (August 15, 2008 11:47 AM) : 

Awww, that is such great news!!!! I have always had cute girl clothes envy (having had a boy) and so am always excited when I have to buy a gift for a little girl. So I just compensate by buying lots of pairs of shoes for my boy (which my friends always joke about).
By the way, your hair in that photo looks fabulous!
Take care!

 

Blogger Toya said ... (August 15, 2008 12:57 PM) : 

Congratulations! I seem to remember at our dinner at PF Chang's awhile back, you said of Sarai, "I can't wait until I have one just like her!" Well, there you go - tada! Wish granted!

Blogger Allie said ... (August 15, 2008 1:33 PM) : 

Okay anonymous, I've said it before and I'll say it again - don't like it? Then don't come here.

For the rest of you who have written the nasty comments and I have chosen not to publish them, why waste your time? Go elsewhere and do other things with your life. I have comment moderation, I have no problem rejecting what you write.

For the rest, thank you so much! We are so excited and all your well wishes mean so much to me!

Julie, I love "My Onesie Today." Hysterical! Thanks everyone for the suggestions and tips!

Capricorn Anonymous - I think that's a great idea. My mom and sister are both Capricorns (though in January) and I am an Aquarian January baby, so I know how those winter holidays get all muddled together. Love the half-birthday idea! :)

 

Blogger Jen Hill said ... (August 15, 2008 2:09 PM) : 

She looks beautiful! Congrats and thank you for sharing her picture with us.

How exciting for you and your husband. Take care.

 

Blogger KT said ... (August 15, 2008 10:03 PM) : 

Congrats! I have two girls and both times I hoped for a boy. (I know, I should just have hoped for a healthy baby...) Anyway, now I don't know what I would do with little boys, I love my girls! Enjoy!

 

Blogger Melissa Walker said ... (August 17, 2008 11:46 PM) : 

Congratulations on the little girl--I have two and love having future shopping/lunching friends. I should warn you--they start early! I'm two months along now and so appreciate your maternity advice! You look great!

 

Blogger Sarah Rosnes said ... (August 18, 2008 6:37 AM) : 

Congratulations!! As a Mommy of two girls, I can tell you that you're in for the ride of your life :) I love the "My Onesie Today" suggestion. ROFL!

Congratulation,
I am also pregnant 36 weeks and expecting a boy...

 

Blogger Karen said ... (August 19, 2008 9:29 AM) : 

Congratulations! You will be a wonderful "girl mom", think of all the fun you will have together! And I'm sure she'll learn tons about developing her taste and personal style.

I love your outfit, and I like the long necklaces during pregnancy too!

 

Blogger Julie said ... (August 20, 2008 1:44 PM) : 

oooh Allie!!!

Congratulations!!!

 

Anonymous TaraIncognita said ... (August 20, 2008 8:19 PM) : 

Yay! How exciting! Let me echo the mother of a boy above and say that girls' clothes look so fun. We're all thrilled for you, really. Some people are just jerks who put on their crankypants.

The rest of us are geared up for hearing her name when she comes. We did the same thing...and trust me, after having two friends change their minds after baby came ("He/she just didn't LOOK like a 'James'/'Samantha'") we knew it would be better for all involved if we went to the birth with a couple of "finalists" and looked at him once ourselves, just to be sure. Which is a looong way of saying I totally understand.

Allie, I send you and your husband so many congratulations and warm wishes. A girl! Aaagh!

Congrats! My friend's b'day is 12/28.

I must agree with anonymous regarding combined b'day presents and half-year birthday celebrations. My b'day is 12/30 and always seemed to get lost in the Xmas/New Year shuffle and b'day parties were always a wash as a result.
