Wow! Baby clothes overload.

I know we had bought a few things and we had received things as gifts, but I really had no idea how many baby clothes we really had!  I left most things in boxes and gift bags until I was ready to start washing and putting everything away.  I have a giant bag and a full-size hamper overflowing with clothes and blankets and towels.  My goodness, this baby has a lot of stuff!  

I am officially washing my very first load of baby clothes!  Now, I'll just have to inventory a little bit by age as I put things away and figure out where we need to fill in (a lot of people got us 6 mo or older - which will be great when we get there, but I think we might need a few more items in the 0-6 month range).  Yeah, shopping!!!

And yes, this is how I am spending my New Year's Eve!    DH and I are going to snuggle up with a movie a little later.  A nice, low-key and relaxed night.  So glad we decided to just stay in and spend it together.

Happy New Year!!!!

I know how you feel! My mom and I are hoping we DON'T get any more newborn clothing at my 2nd shower thrown by her (my IL overloaded us! Although I am thankful!) But I will be surprised if our LO gets to wear any of her newborn clothes twice! I made closet dividers out of foam sheets from my craft closet - and we are set until she's about 9 months...then she's naked!

I know how you feel too!  I am finally getting around to sorting through the shower gifts and putting stuff away.  I've filled LO's hamper and a big Rubbermaid storage tub already!  Now I just need to sort through and see what sizes we have.

The same thing happened to me...I pulled out all the clothes we got for him and realized that we have way too many newborn onesies and jumpers that I hope fit him!!
