Handmedowns!!!!!!!!
12:29 AM Edit This 5 Comments »
Well this is going to sound odd to many of you but the number one thing we want for this baby----is handmedowns! Thats right, we are trying to avoid buying new clothes or having new clothes bought for us. Our goal is to try to get handmedowns for the first year! Minus special events/holidays, which I will have to hand select! HAHAHA I have tons of friends who have already started my pile. This is sooo great! Our clothes get worn out so quick with the way they are washed and the amount of times we wear them that it doesn't even make since to get new baby cloths....they just stain them in days anyway! LOL.
So hit those friends/family members you have that don't need that little one's stuff anymore and start a stash. Hit up garage sales also if you got them! Remember we will need all of baby's stuff to fit in one suitcase just like us-and our cloth diapers will be half the bag. I figure clothes will be the other half. My ta-tas travel well so no formula/bottles needed since we plan to breastfeed only. And I have already got all the toys we possible could need- SO NO TOYS!
I know my mom is dying while reading this--Sorry mom, I know I'm killing your shopping spree. If you want shopping ideas though let me know---I have a cloth diaper list I need to work on!

Ok, I can do garage sale shopping! Will the baby be accepting gifts of $$ or investments, college funding, etc?? How about car seat, stroller, books, etc. How did you end up having all the toys already?? Love to you all, Grandma Julie
If you need a breat bump I have a Medela I only used for 6 months. It has all new parts to it. Let me know. I also have a few book on pregnancy.

PS Congrats to you and Troy. I hope you have a good pregnancy.
We have some Broncos attire for you!!
Julie-I will create a blog post just for stuff we need!
Heidi- A medela AND BRONCOS STUFF!!!- HECK YES we'll take it! :)
Oh and to the toy question---friends! Pretty much all of my friends have kids so the handmedown toys are in surplus. Plus I really love the "old fashion" toys-like I had as a kid. The only one I am missing is that little moma duck that is connected by string to her baby ducks and when you pull the rope to drag them around their wheels/flippers flipped around--so if you find that-grab it!
hehehehe
