ooooh Mama! I must admit I am jealous! We hardly have anything new because this is another boy born in the same month...so we already have everything. I did get a few kissaluv size 0 dipes and a wahm dipe from the market and I knit a couple soakers. But that's it so far. I did wash a put away all the nb clothes. I think I'm going to splurge on Babyhawk soon, but that's about it. Enjoy playing with all the new stuff!
I finally have baby stuff!
All the threads about what people have so far (some started months ago!), I have posted (or at least thought) I have NOTHING (quite literally nothing). BUT, from my shower on Saturday and the mega orders I just placed online today, I now have:
plenty of clothes, receiving blankets, bibs, burp cloths, towel, soft toys, wipes, fitted diapers, prefold diapers, wool diaper covers, hemp diaper bag, and an awesome moses basket (and its ALL organic!!!!)
carseat, stroller (for 6+ months), 2 slings, books, diaper pail and liners, wood rattle...
I am sure I am forgetting a thing or two, but this is all in the last few days and I CAN'T STOP PLAYING WITH ALL OF IT!!!!!!! I am so happy!!
I'm not sure there are going to be any responses to this post, as this is just a gratuitous post because I am so excited!!!!!

But if anyone else is super excited and taking out their baby stuff to play, I'd love the company!
Oh, and I have now cloth diapered a teddy bear!

I have gymboree brand clothes that my first dd (almost 12 years old) wore, and then my almost 4 year old wore them, and I am using them for this new baby girl coming soon.
This is also true for Hanna Andersen clothes that I've bought.

Newborn stuff hardly wears down, babies just grow up too fast!! Worst thing would be stains, but most of my newborn clothes are in perfect condition, so I'm sure your good quality clothing will last for a few kiddos!
Originally Posted by Holiztic Anyway, the stuff was $$$, partly because it is all organic, much of it fair trade, but also it is so thick and well-made.

I would think so, i haven't ever use organic so i am not sure but my GN stuff is going on baby number 4 and all in great shape! ( a few things have been stained ) but mostly all is perfect !

THANKFULLY i we haven't gotten any new suffed things in a while.. 3 kids so far equals A LOT OF STUFFED THINGS!! lol i can't tell you how many i have gotten rid of yet the pack and play is FULL of them!!( kids get to use it for toys instead of baby lol )
I did hear about a place that take stuffed animals to orphans and to the troops to give to kids i forget where i heard it but i bet it was here on mothering someplace.
I like to keep the special ones from certain people or that are just to cute, but i am sure there are a ton you can donate!

I can't wash any of it until after the floors are refinished in the house (figure on at least some dust) but I can't wait to do the laundry! (check back in about a year and I bet I'll be tired of it by then) The only weird thing is all the stuffed toys coming. Everyone knows I have a huge dog, and a dust aversion. But they are coming by the mounds. Kiddo won't be able to have stuffies because really, the dog's toys are of that sort, and he will most certainly snatch and disembowel them. So I may have to find an outlet for the stuffies, or keep them at grandma's. |
