We are 99% sure we are not having a third since this LO is going to be a girl. I have saved almost all of Jake's clothes in case I needed them for #2. So would you sell it all and then spend the money on girl clothes? Hold on to some of it just in case we had a third (which is doubtful) or keep it all for a few years and then decided what to do with it?

Anyone looking to buy some boy clothes? I have fall and winter stuff in newborn, 0-3 and 9-12 mo, I have a few 18 mo. things too.

I would probably sell most of it. Maybe keep a few of your favorite outfits for a a "just in case" but then get rid of the rest if you are pretty sure you are done after this one.

I'd sell what you know for sure you wouldn't want to reuse for a third and use the cash to buy girl clothes or other things you will need for Audrey.

I would sell it. We did that with Sammy's stuff once we found out we were having a girl. I only kept a few outfits from when he was really little... that's it.

I figure if we end up having a 3rd, it will be well planned (we are not planning on it again, but who knows, we may change our mind) cause I have an IUD, and at that point we will be prepared to buy more stuff if need be. I've sold off almost ALL of my baby stuff... my swing, my crib, my travel system, my jumperoo, etc... and tossed all the bottles I had.

Keep a few favorites and sell it. If you wait 3 years and sell it, most of it will be out of style and nobody will want it, sad but true. Sell now when you can get decent money for it. Heck, in 2 or 3 years you may not even want to put it on a little boy again since it could be outdated looking.

If we have a girl, I'll do this.

I'd take some of your clothes, but Alex and #2 are exactly the same time of year and I've got bins coming out of my ears full of clothes for the same ages/seasons.

Yes, sell it. In 2 or 3 years chances are you won't want the stuff anyway. I sold everything (knowing I couldn't have another baby after Addison) and found I was preg. not long afterwards! ) It sucked but wasn't the end of the world that I had to buy all new stuff for Abby.

Working at OUAC you wouldn't believe the people that would save stuff for years (and years and years) and be so pissed off that we wouldn't buy the old crap even though it was Gymboree from 8 - 9 years ago. ;o) (Not saying you would save stuff that long ... just a random thought!)

I agree that you should sell it now. Each of the girls have a box of special stuff that I've saved, it's not a lot but it's stuff I'll never get rid of. I still have all of Skyler's clothes plus all of Charli's and it really does add up. I would've sold it but my family has a lot of babies and we swap clothes when needed. Unfortunately for me this baby will be in different seasons as the girls were .... so I'm not sure how much I'll get to reuse this time.
