I'm glad my kids have a sibling but I really want to try for a three in a few years since I was number three - but more than three? Nope. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-will-you-hang-on-to-your-baby-items#post-765891 Tue, 07 May 2013 14:08:45 +0000 Smurfette 765891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NaturallyCathy: We both have decided that it will happen once we are done. I probably brought it up but he is ok with getting it. I told him I won't be on BC forever and we hate condoms. Two at the most for the Smurf household! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-will-you-hang-on-to-your-baby-items#post-765873 Tue, 07 May 2013 14:03:51 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 765873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: So have you both decided he's the one to get that done or is it something you decided for him? :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-will-you-hang-on-to-your-baby-items#post-765869 Tue, 07 May 2013 14:02:08 +0000 Smurfette 765869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am keeping everything till DH gets sniped! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-will-you-hang-on-to-your-baby-items#post-765827 Tue, 07 May 2013 13:45:40 +0000 heffalump 765827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We know that we want another, but we are unsure about a 3rd. I have no idea when we'll decide that one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-will-you-hang-on-to-your-baby-items#post-765073 Tue, 07 May 2013 09:30:49 +0000 Foodnerd81 765073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We plan on two, so I will probably hang on to everything until then, and then store it for my next sister to have a baby. I've gotten tons of hand me downs from my sister and SIL, so hope to pass things on to the next baby in the family. </p> <p>The tricky thing will be if I have a girl-- I have two nephews, so lots of baby boy things in addition to gender neutral, and I am team green. If we have a girl, I could give the boy things to my friend who is having a boy, but I don't know if my sister and SIL would be Ok with that (though they are both almost definitely one and done). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-will-you-hang-on-to-your-baby-items#post-765053 Tue, 07 May 2013 09:24:12 +0000 cascademom 765053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I plan on holding onto them until we're done at 2 (hopefully one of each). My plan is to give them away as hand me downs and only keep sentimental stuff like hospital blankets, clothes, hats and Christening gown, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-will-you-hang-on-to-your-baby-items#post-765045 Tue, 07 May 2013 09:20:09 +0000 Weagle 765045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We'll hold on to them until we're done, but I'm sure I'll be constantly sifting through and replacing things with each child. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-will-you-hang-on-to-your-baby-items#post-764993 Tue, 07 May 2013 09:04:23 +0000 Honeybee 764993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've decided to stop at two, but we'll hold on to all our baby stuff for another 4-5 years. Once I have to go back in to get my Mirena replaced, we'll make the decision whether we're ready to go forward with a sterilization and we'll get rid of all the baby stuff at that time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-will-you-hang-on-to-your-baby-items#post-764938 Tue, 07 May 2013 08:38:40 +0000 swurlygurl 764938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll keep all my baby stuff until I'm sure we're done having kids. No specific date, but we want 3 or 4 kids, so I'll wait til we've decided we've had our last kid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-will-you-hang-on-to-your-baby-items#post-764845 Tue, 07 May 2013 08:11:48 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 764845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's funny - just as I was seriously starting to organize and store DS's clothes and infant toys, I had to turn right back around and unpack them for DD! Thanks to my IUD, I'll be able to actually put things away for the possible baby #3 and be covered regardless since I've now had one of each. Sure the styles may change in a few years but I doubt my taste in baby clothes - simple, not too graphic or embroidered, classic patterns - will. But if we decide not to have #3 for whatever reason I suspect those items will be put in a yard sale or donated in five years (our maximum age difference between the kids). </p> <p>If you're storing your baby clothes for baby #2 and up, do hey have an 'expiration date'? My expiration date is 2018. I'll be 28 at that time. </p>
