I got a brand new wardrobe, and then some!

I was very blessed yesterday to have a friend of my sister Dana sell me ALL her spring/summer maternity clothes (Motherhood, Gap, Old Navy, Liz Lange and Duo brands) for $100.00! I got 14 pairs of jeans, 4 pairs of pants, 5 capri’s, 5 shorts, 40 shirts (dressy and casual, a few are long-sleeved), 3 sweaters, 2 new nursing bras, 2 belly bands and a maternity tankini bathing suit. Before my m/c, I started buying some maternity clothes before quickly realizing that they just cost too much. So on top of all the clothes I bought yesterday, I have another 5 pairs of jeans, 3 capri’s, 5 shorts, 10 shirts and 8 dresses. Hopefully, I won’t have to buy anymore clothes for the next 31 weeks, just a few more bras, nursing bras and underwear. I also bought a Fetal Doppler on e-bay yesterday for $80.00; that should be arriving sometime this week.

We were also so very blessed when my DF’s sister, Dana, (yes, we both have sisters named Dana!) gave us a brand new set of baby furniture before the m/c. She was given this by a friend when she was preggo, but she also received furniture from their other sister, Denise, for her shower. She didn’t want to hurt Denise’s feelings, so she used the furniture she got from her instead of what her friend gave her. In turn, she gave it to us when she found out we were expecting last time.
Now we can focus on buying things that we can before finding out our ‘Lil Bean’s sex like a rocking chair, air purifier, humidifier, boppy pillow, bottles, bath tub, toys, diapers, etc. We will buy the other things like the stroller, car seat, swing, bouncy seat, room and crib décor, clothes, etc. when we find out the sex of our baby. If Bean is a girl, I want to buy them in pink and if Bean is a boy, I want to buy them in blue or green.

I’m so very thankful that things are coming together so well for our ‘Lil Bean. Praise God!
