When my husband and I were set on having just one child, I gave away about 85% of all my baby clothing and gear to a dear friend of mine. I arrived at her doorstep with bags, bags, and bags of the wardrobe I had amassed for my son. She moved away and parceled out what I had given her to another person who moved to a tropical island and gave everything to Goodwill. Now two years later, here we are: six months pregnant and scrambling to rebuild that large collection that had served us so well.
Luckily, I have clothing up to six months, a fancy stroller (yay for craigslist), and other necessities: bottles, breast pump, a crib, mattress, Bose headphones (to block out the crying!). But I feel like as prepared as I become, I will forget something and that something will make me want to jump out the window at 3AM because SOMEONE DOESN’T LIKE COLD WIPES.
