The baby GIRL in my belly...

So we found out yesterday that the Secret Mommy baby growing in my belly is indeed a GIRL child!  I'd sort of had a hunch that direction, but wasn't sure I trusted that instinct.  (Should have known better...I knew both times before that I was having a boy before the ultrasound confirmed it.)

Anywhoosies, tho I don't want to go completely crazy purchasing stuff, I am excited to girly-fy the nursery AND newborn baby clothing stash and I want your suggestions!

What are your fave girly colors/prints of cloth diapers?  And what are your favorite brands of girly clothes?  I have a feeling that some of my fave brands for the boys are not going to be my fave brands for Josie.  I like Hanna Andersson and Polarn O. Pyret (and even just dumped a couple cute little newborn girl dresses into my Polarn O. Pyret shopping cart...)  I really like well-made and unique styles, colors, designs.  I LOVE non-fussy but adorable clothing.  I would especially love to find your favorite Etsy.com destinations for girly baby shopping.

And what are your favorite dress, pant, top, hat or whatever patterns for SEWING for baby girl?  I imagine many pillowcase dresses are in my future.  But what else?  And what about cutie-pie baby or little girl toys?  Do you have any tutorials or patterns for sewing up simple dolls and doll dresses?

Oh, I just can't wait!
