Speaking of baby clothes

  I purposefully didn't buy any baby clothes because I knew i'd be having 3 showers.  However, my cousin who just had a baby last year gave me 3 boxes full of baby clothes ranging from newborn to 18 months.  Her kid didn't even wear half the stuff since she skipped two sizes (she is a huge 1 year old now!).  I washed up all the baby clothes I got and it ended up being 3 loads worth!  I still have 1 shower to go!

  Yep when I had my DD I didn't have to buy any clothes for her for almost a year.  Even after my shower my aunt bought a crap ton of clothes for her, my mom and MIL did the same too.  I may have bought little things here and there, but definitely not many items.  That is why I was so happy that this baby was a girl too, because both of my girls will be January babies and now all the clothes that DD wore once or twice will get to be worn again and I won't feel so guilty!!!  LOL

  Ugh...I just made this comment to a friend.  Our baby has well over 50 outfits.  It's ridiculous.  DH & I have only bought a coming home outfit and things for next winter (like a winter coat) simply because he won't possibly wear all that he as.  I actually just went and added a little note on our registry that said the baby had plenty of clothes.  I'm sure people will still buy them, but it's ridiculous!!

  We got 30-40 newborn & 3-6 outfits at my shower.  I did buy quite a bit of clothing on sale during the Christmas season at 60% off.  So I stock up on 6-9 mos outfits for summer.

  My cousin's baby skipped 2 sizes of clothing so be careful in buying early since you never know how your baby is going to grow.
