Moms/to be

coupons.com has huggie coupons this week if you want to print them.

Also, Moms who plan to have a second, what are you doing with all your clothes/toys that baby #1 out grew? I'm currently storing all of the stuff in those big plastic boxes with lids, but I hate how much room they take up at the same time. Any suggestions for storage would be great.

I guess my issue is since I know we want a second I have a hard time thinking about getting rid/donating/lending out the clothes right now. I think well if we have a boy again then I can use all of clothes again and then just buy some new stuff when it is time.

Re: Moms/to be

  • Currently, we are storing everything. I just can't make myself get rid of it and then buy it all again.

  • About 80% of Jacob's clothes are hand-me-downs from my cousin, so she solved my storage problem and asked me to send them on to a friend of hers with a son 10 months younger than Jacob! Otherwise, they go into big blue plastic totes and into a closet in the basement. I was quick to get the baby stuff he outgrew outta there and into the basement. Some of it was just too big (like his swing -- SO happy to store that!)
  • we use pampers :)

    the things i'm keeping, i store in tubs.

    however i have boxes to send to dani and wendy of some things for their girls!

  • I am keeping stuff I want in boxes and like Jess said I have stuff to send to anyone that wants it, if SIL knew what she was having, I'd save for her.
  • I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one who can't get rid of the stuff!

    Pugs how is your SIL feeling?

  • Puggs- am I wrong in thinking you said at one point your SIL was having twins? Maybe I know too many people having twins and am getting mixed up.

  • We have a huge attic currently so storage isn't really an issue. I've been using Huggies boxes to pack up her clothes lol. As she gets older I have less clothes to pack up thanks to blueberries, beets, and avocado especially :P

  • We will probably store most of it, unless my younger sister gets married soon and starts a family then we will probably share back and forth a bit (as far as clothes go anyway).
  • Her first ultrasound they thought they saw 2 sacs, but the tech was wrong, there's only one in there =)
  • We haven't saved any clothes - we gave all of his 0-6 months clothes to my third(?) cousin who had twins (3 months early) and they had NOTHING so I happily gave them all we had. Now I've got his newest grown out of stuff in diaper boxes (we use Target brand) - until I get my rubbermaid bins back - waiting to either donate or give to someone else.

    The bouncer and Swing went to Mar! I've got bottles and stuff (sterilizer) that are packed up in the basement. My breast pump is in my home office waiting to decide what to do with it.

  • Oh yeah, I did save his "my first" outfits and his coming home outfit and some of my favorite onesies/sleepers. I'm going to have a quilt made one of these days.

    I did the same thing -- I put aside his "special" clothes that I love, and I'm going to ask MIL to make him a quilt because she makes beautiful quilts. 

    Crows -- your favorite place is having a Pampers sale. I don't usually pay attention, so IDK how frequently they do it, but they're doing gift cards or certain purchases. I have some Pampers coupons from Cheerios boxes, too, if you want them. Or if anyone wants them, I'm happy to mail them! (I hate to waste a good coupon)

  • i actually get mine from amazon however i did go and buy 2 cases of them for the little baby that lost his mama sinc they were on sale :(

    do any of you get yours from amazon? i get like huge cases of 200 for like $25 w/ subscibe and save AND the amazon coupons in the Parents Magazine.

    No, but now I'm going to look into this. What is the subscribe and save? Is there a cost for this? Also do they ship for free with Amazon Prime? Sorry for all the questions.

    Rebek I'll take the coupons if no one else wants them.

  • Dana - no cost for S&S - you get a discount if you sign up to have things auto sent to you. I do it with his wipes. They are shipped free with prime. Are you an "amazon mom"? It might only be available if you are.

  • Thanks Summer. I haven't signed up for Amazon Mom yet either. I guess I'm missing out on a lot of savings.
