Anika is growing like a weed. She's over 9lbs now, and I've boxed up her newborn sized clothes to give to another baby. That's the plan -give away or sell everything when she no longer needs it, just like I've done with all of my maternity clothes. I've had lots of people (including my MIL) try to tell me I should hang onto everything for baby #2. Uhm... I don't think so. If we are fortunate enough to get a miracle 2nd child unassisted by ART, then we'll be able to afford to buy the stuff all back again. The last thing I need is boxes of baby stuff cluttering up our storage space, and never getting used again.
So glad to read that things are ironing out with your MIL.....you can see the light at the end of the tunnel, and that too can be helpful!
ReplyDeleteI sure wish I could be as diligent as you about giving everything away. I have all my maternity clothes, too small baby clothes, and too young baby toys ready to go, but I still don't have the heart to part with it. There will not be another child for us, and i have NO NEED to hold on to it, and it's all cluttering my house! I need to watch an episode of Hoarders, that usually gets me in the mood to "dispose of unused items".
Take care - great to hear the Anika updates!!

Here here!! I get the same flack from people...uhm no. We're pretty sure we're done. SOOO done. Oh and I had to giggle with your ticker...about the 3 years, 40 weeks and 6 days overdue!! That's hilarious! Countdown is on for Sunday!!
ReplyDeleteyes, very inspiring re: decluttering! Hope you all enjoyed some great outdoor time yesterday in that gorgeous weather. And it is looking good for today, too. That is wonderful that Anika is thriving. Keep up the great work! Rhubarb
