There’s a little myth (or maybe not such a myth) that is said about those who have babies while in flight school (my hubby is training for the Coast Guard). It’s that you will have a girl.
Some say this happens because of the stress.
Some say it’s because the way the plane has you sitting near things, it kills the little boy sperms.
Well, whatever it is, I haven’t met a person here that is in flight school who had a baby boy. It’s been all girls. So, another Coastie family that we are friends with down the street just had themselves a little girl.
I made the baby and the big sis a set of dresses using the Let Freedom Ring Tutorial. I also made two little rosette hair clips. Some of you have made your own Let Freedom Ring dresses lately as well. Here are a few that people shared in the Flickr group or emailed me:
I was just talking about this ‘myth’ with some other Navy wives last night. Most of the people we know in the helo community have girls too… and here we are pregnant with our second little girl.
Love the matching dresses and hair bows!
They are all sooo precious!!! I LOVE receiving your posts, because I know they will make me smile!!! I haven’t commented nearly as much as I should!!! You are a such a great talent!!!
Ha, ha, I was born while my dad was in flight school! Will have to ask my mom if there was a similar rumor or superstition back then!
I am a football coaches wife – same type rumor – they call ours the “coaches curse” – and yep – we all have little girls – actually myself and two other wives were all pregnant at the same time and we now all have 3 little girls – who are best friends!!
Those dresses are so dreamy and beautiful!

I have heard of this myth/phenomina… they way esp. if you are at war. When/if you go for another, perhaps the hubby should take a long holiday first?
…Think I might have to sign my hubby up… I have 2 boys.
Does it get any cuter? I LOVE those!
my brother in law flies cobra’s and they have had 3 little girls too:) funny thing that is!
How lucky are your friends?! I love getting/giving handmade items and you’re so talented
Love love love it! The outfits are so cute! I don’t know anything about that particular myth (because my hubs is in computers – LOL), but sure sounds like it must be true!
So funny! My husband is a Coastie too…never been to flight school. He is part of a Port Security Unit…and we have 2 boys! He is headed off for another deployment so maybe we will beblessed with a girl when he returns!
Adorable dresses!
My husband is a pilot too and we have two girls! Here is another link of the girls wearing their Let Freedom Ring dresses when their Daddy came home on leave: http://keeperofthyhome.blogspot.com/2011_08_14_archive.html And, while he was home on leave we got pregnant with our third (!!!!) so it will be interesting to see if this baby is a girl as well. Thanks again for all of your adorable tutorials and also for your husbands service.
I absolutely love those little dresses at the top! I keep thinking about them! Do you mind sharing which fabrics you used?
Natalie,
The fabrics were a fat quarter bundle from JoAnn’s. There were 4 different ones in it, or maybe 5? I get most of my fabric there or Hobby Lobby because I don’t usually like to wait for fabric in the mail lol
Oh wonderful! Thanks for letting me know!
