For example 90% of baby stuff I have is a hand me down. The crib- was mine, my moms, her moms, etc...it is from the 1900's and has been passed down through the babies, which to me is not considered a hand me down, but a special treasure and antique.
But that's only the beginning.
If you have read earlier, you would know that my car seat/ stroller was out of date. It was prime condition and given to me by my best friend, but when the cop inspected it, it was a no go. :/ so I ponied up and bought another one (that wasnt used) and after researching, I bought the safest, most reliable, etc...
Our changing table? A $30 steal from a garage sale. His clothes? Mostly hand me downs from a friend who brought me 3 HUGE trash bags of clothes, some with the tags still on them...
A rocker, bouncy seat, etc...all donated to the cause.
Pretty much other than that, we were given shower gifts and we need for nothing.
We are abundantly blessed to have so many good people in our lives that even having a registry almost makes you feel greedy.
At our last shower we were given some cash. My husband and I have had our eye on this rocker that automatically rocks in several different settings, hooks up to our iPod, etc...so we took the plunge. I know that's sounds silly to most, hell most people but all new furniture for their nursery, all new everything, and here we are getting excited about this rocker. But this thing is amazing. I want to rock to sleep every night in it listening to music...
I keep getting calls about things people want to give us. But here's the deal...we're tapped out of room. I think I will take the donations and hand them over to a family in need...because honestly...we are very secure, but everyone I know is having a baby or just had a baby and wants to help out...I am over the moon blessed by all the love. Now it is time for us to spread the love....
Peace and Love....
