So DH and I are on the fence about having another baby. The twins were our first and I would love another one (most days!) but DH says he's done for the most part but then other days he says, "maybe if we had a bigger house."
So, since we are on the fence I am not sure what to do with all this baby stuff. Do I keep everything? Keep some things? Give away/sell everything? With two we have SO much stuff I would hate to get rid of it all and then decide in a few years we do want to try again. What did you/Would you keep? TIA!
Re: WWYD if you were on the fence about another LO?
We plan to definitely have more kids but doubt it will be twins, much less twin girls, so we decided to keep enough for one baby in the event that we have another girl down the road.
Any duplicate outfits or overabundance of one size (i.e. we have a ton of 3 mo. clothing), I plan to sell or donate. I've given a bunch of their newborn stuff away already since a friend recently had a baby girl.
As for equipment, we plan keeping one bouncer, swing, etc. The only thing I plan to keep two of are our PNPs since it would be convenient to have a second one for travel or keeping one at my parents' house for visits.

Do you belong to a MoM club or organization? If so, I'd check to see if they have an annual sale if you decide to sell some of your stuff.
We kept everything from Cal, had Julia, got rid of most of Cal's clothes, and than had Will.
We didn't think we'd have more kids after Julia, so that's why.
Although I wish I had kept some of Cal's clothes, I think the amount of money I made selling the clothes and the cost I spent evened out.
But, I would have saved the clothes if I had known I'd have another.
I kept all the equipment I found useful (bouncy seat, exer-saucer, swing, changing table, pack n play, super gates, etc) and kept enough of the clothes and toys for one baby/LO. I sold everything I thought was extraneous at my MoM's yard sale.
Lucky for us, we had another boy so I have been able to use everything I saved. I probably saved a little too much stuff but that's ok. I will be selling all the items or giving them away as #3 out grows them {sniff}.
My twins are 5! My baby is 3!
