We have decided that we have our perfect family of four. One girl, one boy. There are no plans for a third child. Our second one has shown us that we aren't as young as we used to be.
SO WHY AM I SAD THAT I'M SELLING ALL THE BABY STUFF? Out with the old, in with the new. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy for the freed space that I'm hoping to receive, but sad at the same time that I realize that I won't experience another baby moving inside of me, and I won't have a tiny bundle of joy to hold tight all day long and night.
So far I have sold my infant carrier and the bases as well as the snap n go stroller. Baby must haves.. So I guess if I'm selling the essentials, I'm really done, right? The swing is up next (excuse me while I grab a tissue). I never thought I'd be sad to see these things go, but yet I am. I almost teared up as I handed the items over to the two expectant moms who are lucky to have my "treasures" and fond memories (and at a steal, no less!). They are the ones supposed be having the hormone issues, not me.
On a up note, I've decided to split the money from each sell and start savings accounts for the kids. Since they are not being brought up Catholic, they kind of lost out on all the free savings they would have received if they were christened, so no time like the present to start their savings. Right now, their "account" is actually their giant empty piggy banks, but hopefully If I can find time and not cry when I go through the remaining baby stuff and clothes, I'll make them some decent cash!! If anyone wants to contribute to Matthew and Carson's savings plans, and you are expecting a baby (or not), come see me!!
