finally selling the baby stuff...sniff

in September 2011 Moms

I've been holding on to a few baby items (bebe pod, activity mat, bouncer) in case we changed our minds and decided on #2.  I also was wishfully thinking there would be a cousin but that looks less likely as days go by.  I figured we can't save things forever (space) and I want someone to use them.  Just posted a few on CL and donated clothes to the library thrift shop.

Makes me sad to think N has outgrown so many things and I can't imagine all the growing our toddlers have left to do.

Signed sentimental mama.

    Awww! I was just thinking about how hard it will be to sell/donate Max's stuff if we have a girl. I am saving some of his clothing for sentimental reasons.

    I'm already dreading the day we sell our baby gear & clothes... even though we've got #2 on the way.

    I'm planning to save my favorite outfits DS has worn with the intention of making a quilt from all the footie jammies and cute onesies I've grown attached to. (I'm already planning to snuggle and cry into said blankie when DS leaves for college!)

    Jetta, I love this about you!

    Just think IF you have #2 you can get newer updated items (said wide- eyed American)! N will not be using it... you have pictures, and memories of her on the activity mat and bouncer!

    What gets me are the clothes. I have certain things I will NEVER donate. In fact I still have the first fancy outfit we bought for him hanging up in his closet. I will be getting that framed in a shadow box.

    I am having such a hard time with Bo growing up. I find myself looking at his baby pictures everyday from this day last year. I study how his face has stayed the same...what we did that particular day... then I go to my letters to Bo and read if my current interpretation is congruent with what I wrote on the actual day.

    I never want to lose anything about Bo.. not any of the outfits we cuddled in.. or that he smiled in for the first time... blah-blah. I knew I would be this type of obsessed mom. But I hate letting go... so I do not!

    I hear you ladies on the clothes.  I saved one of the cute newborn size onesies that N wore a lot.  It is so tiny.  I have also kept gender neutral newborn clothes since those are still useful by anyone.  I thought about keeping a bunch of outfits but I didn't. I have kept a few blankets and I have a few sheets I want to keep - perhaps I could make those a quilt -- in some ways those I'm more attached to since she slumbered on them and they remind me of nights nursing her and swaddling.  I also plan to save her loveys and stuffed toys long into oblivion.
