Getting Ready For Flora
I knew that Flora would have a lot of things before she was even born but I could not have imagined exactly how much. She has so much stuff I hope she gets to use everything at least once. I am glad I saved receipts for the things we bought and was thankful for gift receipts. I hated taking back gifts but we had about 30 to 40 blankets so we had to take some back. Even after taking things back and getting other things like a pack n play and crib mattress we still have a ton of things. It’s amazing how a child can accumulate more clothing and other items than I actually own myself. We are so thankful that we have such caring family and friends that are so generous and are so supportive of us. I have been washing everything which has been a bit of a pain. Then sorting clothes by size and organizing it. Taking tags off of new items is such a pain. I don’t understand why they put so many plastic tags on baby items. I literally spent 20 minutes taking tags off of a pack of wash cloths. It must have had 10 plastic tags to cut off and then tape around each wash cloth. It just does not make any sense. The crib and changing table are beautiful and we are really happy with the bedding we chose. We almost have everything together. All we need now is the precious little baby. Now we need to pack our hospital bags and wait for the big day which hopefully will be sooner than later.
