Pregnant after a Loss

Wow!

I spent an hour going through a huge tote of newborn-6mo. baby clothes from my SIL- she has 2 boys and is done, so whatever I don't take she is selling. I left with way more clothes than I would need even if I didn't have my own huge assortment from DS. Well, she just called me and has another huge trashbag full of newborn clothes that she is going to bring by. I think I'll end up with enough clothes that I can change him every 5 minutes for the 1st month without ever having to do laundry. Not to mention she is giving me her boppy pillow, Playtex Vent-Aire bottles, and infant carrier after her little guy grows out of it (he's 3 mo. and 20 lbs. so it will probably be before LO arrives). I feel so blessed that between all I got with DS and all she is giving me as her little guy grows out of it I don't have much left on my list of things to buy! Oh, and she hinted that they want to have a little baby shower for me- she suggested having people just buy diapers because this is what we did for her's and she is just getting ready to buy diapers for the first time!

  • That's awesome!  I love free, cute hand-me downs.  My sister has a 2 year old - and has given me all of my niece's old clothes that are still in good condition, with out stains.  I love it - I have so many boxes of clothes!

    And that's great the other items she is giving you!  It will be nice to not have to buy all that stuff!
