I'm expecting DC2, we have been led to believe from the scan that it is a little girl. We have DS already.
I went to John Lewis yesterday to pick up some baby night gowns for easy night changes. They were in the sale and the only ones they had were grey and white striped and zoo animals, in a set of two (one of each).
My mum and sister told me I couldn't buy them as they weren't 'girly' enough. My sister even went as far as to ask the assistant if they had any girl ones (which they didn't). I told them to stop being ridiculous and bought them anyway.
Mum wouldn't stop going on about how everyone would think I had a lovely little boy in those. Firstly, who gives a crap? and secondly - THEY ARE FOR NIGHT TIME! Also thirdly, DS was about 6 weeks old, dressed head to toe in blue and two people told me what a lovely little girl I had!
AIBU to think that zoo animals on a white background are unisex? And that it wouldn't have mattered even if they'd have been boy ones? FWIW I fully intent to dress DD in some of DSs old clothes, including a cute little baby grow with blue robots on, just because I like it! DD has plenty of time to assert her desire for pink sparkly clothes when she is older, which is her right and will be honored.
