I'm thinking it will probably come out mid-June, after our family vacation.</p> <p>I'm not looking forward to how crowded it's going to be with the toddler toys and giant baby things!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bringing-out-the-baby-gear#post-2158103 Mon, 27 Apr 2015 09:44:55 +0000 bushelandapeck 2158103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We put most of it off until a few weeks before she was due. Once her room was finished, I started organizing things in there which helped keep the clutter down. I had the carseat professionally cleaned when I was 34 weeks or so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bringing-out-the-baby-gear#post-2158098 Mon, 27 Apr 2015 09:42:25 +0000 travelgirl1 2158098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're putting this off for as long as possible. I actually feel more reassured this time that all baby needs is me, milk, diapers and some clothes. But it definitely helps knowing we have all the big ticket items in the storage room and don't have to pick out and buy new ones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bringing-out-the-baby-gear#post-2158072 Mon, 27 Apr 2015 09:30:39 +0000 edelweiss 2158072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i'm not looking forward to this part of getting ready for #2. i don't remember where anything is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bringing-out-the-baby-gear#post-2158062 Mon, 27 Apr 2015 09:27:59 +0000 Anagram 2158062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have 0 storage and only 2 closets in our entire condo, so our stuff has already been "out", but like, shoved in corners in our bedroom and stuff. So no big changes here!</p> <p>All we have for a baby is a RnP and a bouncer seat.....I feel like our toddler's stuff (tent, small tables and chairs, big toys) take up just as much or more space. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bringing-out-the-baby-gear#post-2158058 Mon, 27 Apr 2015 09:24:50 +0000 blackbird 2158058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>HAHA i'm 38 weeks+ and we just brought out some stuff this weekend! E climbed into a swing immediately (that, of course, she hated as an infant). but yes, totally feeling the "ugh, infants need so much more crap than toddlers". I had gotten used to having my counter tops back, and now i'm going to have to put bottles and stuff back on it! And get out the PnP and the RnP and i got all the swaddles out......</p> <p>SIIIIIGHHHHHHH </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bringing-out-the-baby-gear#post-2158050 Mon, 27 Apr 2015 09:22:46 +0000 cascademom 2158050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're picking up our infant car seat from my parent's house during Mother's Day weekend. Otherwise, a good chunk of our previous baby gear got damaged by our neighbors' flooding our son's closet. I've got 5 weeks until my due date. I'm not purchasing anything until right before delivery. In the first days, you don't need much, so I'm not going to fret about it.</p> <p>ETA: We're going to be selling our condo soon, so removing the clutter is our main focus, not adding to it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bringing-out-the-baby-gear#post-2158046 Mon, 27 Apr 2015 09:21:22 +0000 hilsy85 2158046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think we will put this off as long as possible--our apt is going to be crazy cluttered with new baby stuff!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bringing-out-the-baby-gear#post-2158035 Mon, 27 Apr 2015 09:16:57 +0000 mrsjyw 2158035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Talk about sh*t getting real! We spent a good chunk of our wknd, hauling out baby gear out of storage, organizing the nursery, throwing away some stuff, reorganizing our storage closet, cleaning, etc. </p> <p>DS#1 was THRILLED about all of his NEW toys :P He also tried to climb in the infant carseat, laid in the bouncer, and insisted that we put him in the baby swing (we didn't.).</p> <p>We still have 3 months to go, but figured we'd get a head start before a few trips we have coming up in May. When did you start bringing out old baby gear? Did you realize how much crap that you "need" for a tiny infant all over again?! </p>
