Blessings From Home

Clothes, clothes, and more clothes

Ya know, I feel really blessed that we have no worries about our clothing, because my goodness we have plenty! I have spent the last few days sorting out all of our clothes, washing, sorting, packing away, and getting rid of a lot.

I finally got my children's clothing all sorted out by sizes and put away in tubs until they are needed. That in itself relieved so much stress from me. I finally am able to wash their clothes and put them up without having to forcibly shove them into the drawers. I can also see what we are truly in need of for the next several seasons so that I can keep a look out at good sales and at thrift stores. I also packed away their winter clothing that they shouldn't need until October sometime.

So now that the children are taken care of, I'm working on my clothes and my husbands. I was immensely blessed by a friend to be given a huge box of maternity clothes! So now I need to sort out all of my clothes that I won't be able to wear until after this little one makes it's arrival. My husband doesn't have a lot of clothes to sort through. He has a few sweaters that can be packed away until winter, but he wears most all of his other clothes all year long.

Once we get moved, I'm going to start digging out all the baby clothes that I have that could be for either a boy or girl, and I also need to get busy sewing up the other things I will be needing, such as diapers, a new diaper bag, and a few other things.

My husband and I have decided that we're going to go ahead and find out what this little one will be. I have an ultrasound scheduled for this Friday, but it will still be a little early, so we may not be able to find out until next month when I'll have another one. Then I'll be able to dig out the little boy or little girl clothes I have. If it's a boy, I'm afraid it will need quite a bit, because I don't have many of my sons baby clothes.

Well, back to the clothes!

What a blessing to recceive so many maternity clothes from a friend.

I have currently been picking up clothes for our two year old for the next couple of years at thrift shops and such. We have almost all we need for the next two years in clothing, but still need to find shoes and winter coats. LOL I think we are doing pretty good.

God's Blessings,
