Oh I probably will, I just want her to be frilly so that everyone knows all the time that she is a girl! I know, it's silly!!

you big wah! Heehee!! I got a cute one at Motherhood and one of my friends sent me one from Old Navy. But then again, I am one of those Mamas that won't EVER be seen in a bikini, so a tankini works just fine for me!

I have one of these girl swimdiapers for Adia. I'm having problems finding any retailers that have them in stock, though.

The Target swim diapers were sized REALLY small when I tried them with her as a newborn. (But she had chunky thighs, so that might've been part of the issue.)

I almost got a small today, but those bottoms looked pretty big. My sil had a good idea though, go look for a doll swimsuit! Like one for a cabbage patch doll or something. I'll either ask my mil to make one for baby girl, or she'll wear her purple swim diaper and a onesie.

Steph - I found some here - http://store.yahoo.com/perfectlysafe...imdiapers.html I just did a google search for kushies swimsuit swim diaper.

Thanks so much for showing those to me!!! I will be getting one NOW!

Yay! I didn't try Google.

Gymboree infant swimsuits run pretty small. I usually go for a just a "swim diaper".

If you plan on cloth diapering, you can always get a FuzziBunz and have it embroidered with something really girlie and just use it without any real filler for a swim diaper. Or any really cute fleece lined diaper cover will work.

Okay not to hijack the thread off of baby swimsuits BUT ... check out LandsEnds overstock section. They've got some two-piece and one-piece maternity swimsuits on clearance over there. And the two pieces are sold seperate so you can get that bigger bottom if you need it.

I bought a two-piece maternity swimsuit at Target when I was pregnant with DS#2 (two summers ago) and then promptly "lost" is somewhere in my closet. Of course it was at the end of the season and it was hard enough finding that one let alone another one. It really ticked me off and I didn't want to have to spend the money on another swimsuit when I KNEW it was somewhere in my closet. I finally broke down and bought a one-piece swimsuit at Academy. Just a plain ole speedo one-piece. Fit great. I normally wore a 10-12 and I think I got a 16 (since I'd gained almost 75 pounds that pregnancy . It worked great for those couple of months afterwards when I wasn't down to a fit into my other swimsuits yet. And of course about two weeks after I bought it... I found my maternity one. :
