Enough!

OK.  The generosity of folks getting rid of their old baby stuff is just soooo amazing.  I feel bad saying No to some as I feel I want to HELP them get rid of this stuff that's been sitting in their basement for 10 years.  "Crud!  I already HAVE a bouncy seat!"  (But then I pass on the info about a place I DO know that will take the stuff off their hands.)

I'm just feeling overwhelmingly grateful.  My neighbor gave me a whole bag of BRAND-NEW 3-6 mos clothes that she found while cleaning out her basement.  AND they are the proper "summery" seasonal phase!  I can't believe she had that many brand-new clothes that she had bought and stored and then totally FORGOT about when her daughter was that age six years ago!  And then, a week later, she calls me that she found some MORE stuff.  She brings over another bag full of BRAND-NEW clothes and TWO more hand-crocheted blankies AND hand-crocheted washclothes (really need to take a picture of those for you to get the full effect).  She said she had a friend who was told she was having a girl, but baby came out with a stem on the apple.  She's had this stuff stored for YEARS.  So!  I now have even MORE 0-3 mos onesies, little pants, sleepers, hats, socks, bibs, etc.  And what with the outfits my mother tells me SHE couldn't resist buying, I think I can safely say, I have ENOUGH 0-3 outfits, thankyouverymuch all you wonderful people!

And then another friend sent me home with her used exersaucer last night--she actually had it stored in the original box.  Lovely condition.  Again.  Just freaking OVERWHELMED.

And now I'm itching to start washing and putting away all these clothes, but I STILL don't have a place to PUT them.  AAAAAAUUUUGH!  Maybe I just need to drag the hubby out dresser shopping this weekend just to help put my mind at rest.

One good thing about all these clothes.  Perhaps I won't have to do laundry quite so often those first few weeks with such a variety of outfits from which to choose?
