Ten cashmere onesies, please! Jodi Blum, 32, an account executive at Ralph Lauren, didn’t find out the sex of her first baby before birth, but “I thought it was a girl the entire time,” she said, so she made sure to stock up on her company’s most feminine little designs (hello, company discount). Sure enough: 17 hours after a Mother’s Day induction, this petite, pouty-lipped Polo princess pranced out, much to the delight of her proud new papa, Darrin Blum, 33, a sales specialist at Reuters and Ms. Blum’s husband of two years. “As soon as he gets home, he plays with her for the whole night,” Mom said proudly. “Home” is a three-story townhouse in Melville, N.Y. (named for Herman, home of Newsday, halfway to the Hamptons).
