I have been putting off going through Cheyanne's old clothes until I was done with school...that way I 'd have time to do it. Well, I went through them today, and I am glad I did. I got a rude awakening! I knew I had at least 3 tubs of clothes and things, but I couldn't remember how much I had left after the garage sale. I pulled out everything 0-6 months, and I ended up having only 3 outfits and 2 onesies!!!!!!! I was shocked. It is not that I sold it all.....I had been very cautious as to what I had sold at the garage sale because we knew we would be having another baby. It is all just ruined with spit-up and poop! I know I had sold the items that were ruined, but come on! I still thought I had more clothes left than that! So, here I had planned on only buying a couple of new outfits, and using Cheyanne's old clothes, but not now! I guess I have no choice but to go shopping! So far, I had bought a few new things, but it really barely covers the basics (one pack of onsies, 3 sleepers, 3 outfits, burp cloths, bibs, a diaper bag, recieving blankets, and a pair of fancy socks) So, now I have to start over again! I do have a lot left for older ages, like 12 months and up, but almost everything from the first year was ruined! (I did have a messy pooper...)
Ya know, I remember thinking when Cheyanne was born, "Man, she has a lot of clothes!" but in all honesty, she didn't have near as much as I thought. Diesel had 3 times the amount of clothes in the first year that she did. I even looked back at pictures of Chey when she was born because I thought for sure I had more clothes for her, but no. I have a picture that I took of my favorite outfits that she wore as a baby, and I have only 3 out of 7 of those, due to stains!
I was wondering, is it wrong for me to use Cheyanne's keepsake clothes for the new baby? I have a tub that I made for her with all her special stuff in it, like the outfit she wore home from the hospital, the outfit she wore on her first birthday, etc. Should I pull those out and use them, or is that wrong?

OMGoodness I was wondering the same thing. We don't know yet for sure if we are having a G or B. So I went through my baby boy clothes and I don't really have many left, except my keepsakes for all three boys. Which does add up to a lot of cute clothes, but I don't know if I want to use them. I'm thinking not....so that I can look back and know what was what for each boy and just to keep those clothes special. Then again that is sort of wasteful isn't it. I have no answers. I gave all the rest of my baby boy clothes away after Spike, the littlest, was born thinking that we would have no more. Ha,ha! Should have know I would have changed my mind (one last time). :)
B or G I've got some shopping to do!
