I had my vary first babyshower
yesterday!
It was really fun and a got some much
stuff...Mostly clothes for her. My one
friend came with her 2 month old little
girl, she gave me a few out-fits her
little one wont ever get to ware cuz their
little summer out-fits and by the time
summer gets her she will be to big for
them.
My other friend gave me a good size box of
baby clothes that she ware when she was
little!.
And oh I got so much stuff. I cant wait
for my next 2 baby showers!
Their so cute!...Maybe I take pictures of
them or something...Lol I dont know kinda
sounds silly to take pictures of
clothes...Lol what do you all think?
Should i?
Ugh I cant wait 13 more weeks I want her
out now....Well no not really but damnit!
I cant wait to get all these cute clothes
on her!

I have the same problem with running out
of room for clothes. My baby shower was
on saturday and I can't see all this stuff
fitting in the nursery. We went through
the clothes and we got a ton of 0-3
months, so we're gonna take back summer
stuff in that size and exchange it for a
bigger size. That way it's still what
everyone picked out for her. I don't
think i've seen this many onsies in my
life! It's like a lifetime supply! We
even got a high chair already! The only
thing we didn't get was a changing table,
crib, or a baby monitor. But...The crib
and changing table are big things that I
wouldn't expect from anyone! But we got
almost $300 to get things we need that we
didn't get at the shower. My husband
wants to save all the cards we got from
the shower for when the baby gets older.
Do you guys think he's crazy or is it a
good idea?

I think it depends on your financial
situation. If u need to use them for
stuff u dont have then dont save them but
if u think they wont be helpful for useful
stuff for now then save them for when she
outgrows her some stuff and needs
replacements but u dont have money til
payday or something my crib was expensive
($400) but my inlaws bought it as fora
changing table I think those are a waste
of money u just need a dresser for clothes
think about it are u really gunna get up
and walk to the baby room and do the whole
changing thing or is it more likely youll
ahve a few diapers next to ya and do it
right there personally I keep my diapers
in a care bear can in the living room and
the wipes are always in the living room
for multipurpose use

Keisha organize the clothes
first drawers do 0-3 then 3-6 etc
only keep out stuff up to 12 months and
then rotate it
as for change table I will never use one
if you dont pay attention they can be
fatal to baby I change my son/daughter on
the floor I bought a bunch of mats and
they work wonders!!
As for crib u can get a nice one for 200$
my mom got mine on special but mom swears
by storkcraft(most reliable she says) my
daughter has donw everything and no
scrathes yet and cams going in there
soon!!

If you use a second hand crib for a baby,
or the crib your older child used before
the new baby, then you should always buy a
new matress. Its in my baby books and a
magazine.

Thats thne think I have organize
i only have thing in the room up to 12m,
then again you have to rember we have no
closet right now cuz all of mine and loves
clothes are still in it cuz we dont have a
place tol put then yet. We only have 2
dressers. I has only 2 droors and the
other has 5 I think. If you think about
it thats not alot of room. In the big
dresser I have all her bootys hats bibs
blanckets towes and so one and in the
smaller dreasses, ihave all the baby
clothes, the smaller dresser also has 2
shelves and a little closet on it that
fits about 15- 20 out-fits.
I just need to get more places to but
closthes, once I get a bit saved up im
going out and buying a closet thing or
something.
As for change table we have one in london
thats coming to use from a fimly member,
they dont need it anymore, we also got the
crib from the same family member, but its
already here and set up.
As for using the change table I more then
likly will nave use it. I will just do
what mom did use it to but dippers and
stuff on and change the baby on the
floor....Lol
my mom gave us my little brothers matress.
Lol its in really go shape cuz my brother
never used it. Mom almost never had him
in the crib. As soon as he was like 5m
mom had him in bed with her, even now he
had a car bed that fit his crib matress,
he naver used it not even once. He sat on
the bed and shuff but that was it. So my
mom gave the bed to the family member and
thats why we got the crib.
Lol

I havent seen any used ones for sale in
proper baby stores, maybe in a charity
store? But it might not be the law to not
sell used ones. I wouldnt risk it because
of cot death, maybe thats why the books
say always use a new one for a new baby,
im not sure of the reason. Could be for
the baby's back.

see thats the thing mostly everyone I know
around here buy a used one.
I mean my brother really didnt use his at
all so im sure it is fine. But I will ask
my doctor or heathly babys nusse when I
see her. I see what they say about it.
I mean its not like I didnt know were it
came from or who used it. I did get it
from mom and my brother is only coming 5
this june...So its not like its all that
old or anything.

Kewl angel, let us know what the baby
nurse says are the reasons for why we
should buy new ones. All I can guess is
that a used one isnt as firm on the baby's
back as it should be, or something to do
with the ventilation holes in it... Be
good to know what she tells you. :wink:
