I just realized that I have 33 pairs of baby socks. THIRTY THREE. I don't know how this happened. Except maybe that I keep buying them because they are so adorable (over half of them are various trumpette styles). I am cutting myself off though!
What baby item do you have waaay too much of?

Bows and headbands! I've bought a few a week since she's been born and she's 12 weeks...I don't plan on stopping either lol.

@HeatherlovesKenny: @autumnlove: If I were having a little girl, I think I would have gone overboard on bows as well!

It's socks for us too! I registered for a couple sets of Trumpette socks because they were so cute, and we got those and then some! Everyone loves baby socks apparently. She has a huge cubby just for socks, and its completely full. She also has too many shoes.

Sleepers and onesies. I have a ton in newborn size all gender neutral. I have bought every single cute gender neutral sleeper or onesie I have seen. Once LO is born I am sure I will have tons of clothes. If LO is a girl she will have WAY to many bows

Possibly blankets . . . we inherited a TON from my niece and nephew, plus I made a whole bunch. And sippy cups. We have 8+ for our 7 month old. It just sort of happened. My husband would say too many bows and hair clips, but I disagree. A girl cannot be without her accessories!

@HeatherlovesKenny: where do you buy your headbands? I think I am looking for a classy little bow headband for M.
I have way too many baby socks. Way way way too many.

BOWS. Her bow holder is completely full already and I have more in the mail on their way. 
She has flowers, rosette bows, satin bows, boutique bows, small bows, huge bows... oh man. Way too many.

Clothes...and NB and 0-3 are in her dresser!
Also..why does this keep uploading my photos sideways?!
pineapple / 12526 posts
@sorrycharlie: Hahaha. Looks like C's closet! She has massive amounts of clothing. Her NB/0-3 are packed away but she has all the way up to a few 2T items in her closet and dresser, which are both overflowing. Girlfriend owns more shoes that I do!

Clothes. I don't buy them for her, we just have very generous friends and family!

Plain onesies!
Do you mommas have Velcro bows? I've been looking and can't find any??
hostess / watermelon / 14932 posts
@regberadaisy: i want some too! not sure where to look? that's what my parents used on me when i was born so i wanted to try it on LO when she comes out
pineapple / 12234 posts
@mediagirl: Nordstrom! They are kind of spendy though. Carter's has some but they leave marks on LO's head. The rest are from a wholesale online shop--I think I bought 23 bows and headbands for around $17!

Baby blankets! I have tons of various kinds ... but I actually use them and it's kind of nice to not have to every worry about having to wash a blanket; there's always a few clean ones in the closet
pineapple / 12526 posts
@regberadaisy: We don't do the velcro ones. We have the crocheted and stretch lace headbands that we put the clips on.

Bottles. I wish I had some use for all the brands of bottles we have that I don't use!

Receiving blankets. So many people bought them for us but very few of them have been used.
GOLD / wonderful pomegranate / 28905 posts
@mediagirl: the few I have are from zulily/totsy!
@Crumbs: Etsy, of course!

Possibly a+a blankets? We have 10.... But I feel like we will have a lot of uses for these.

Blankets. But especially A&A ones. We have 17 of them! Lol. We had a ton of trumpette socks too. Love them

I had too many gerber cloth diapers to use as burp cloths. I just found another 12 and we haven't used them in months.
I also have too many sheets for the crib...7.

Ugh, flipping baby hats. We have about 50 that were all given to us. I think she only ever wore 2. Ridiculous.
grapefruit / 4056 posts
Baby quilts. We have about a half dozen baby quilts and another half dozen knitted/crocheted blankets, all given to us, and none of which that match the nursery. I keep most of them packed away, other than one big one in the car for putting Sawyer down on the ground at the park etc, and one in the living room for putting on the floor to play.
grapefruit / 4819 posts
@plantains: Us too. Not counting sunhats or hats that are actually part of outfits, LO had 18 newborn hats (the little stocking hats)... and I think she wore them for the two days in hospital and that was about it. I don't know what I was thinking when I kept getting more and more - total waste of money!
hostess / wonderful grape / 20803 posts
Blankets!!! We didn't register for any other than A and A swaddles (4 pack) and ended up with 10 plus the swaddles...and 2 quilts!!
nectarine / 2039 posts
Receiving blankets!!!!!! Didn't register for any but I am pretty sure we ended up with about 40.
I don't even use them AT ALL. (Use muslin blankets and other types of baby blankets).
I am also a bit overwhelmed with all the quilts and knitted blankets we got too, but at least I use those sometimes (though we did NOT need such a selection).
Looks like everyone gives too many blanket gifts.

@Ree723: My goodness, I open her drawer and still find the hat situation overwhelming. I need to put them away into storage.
blogger / wonderful cherry / 21616 posts
@regberadaisy: are you big on DIY?? I cannot wait to DIY onesies for a baby girl!! So fun...
@yoursilverlining: I am totally getting Trumpettes if/when I have a girl!!
@cvbee: I cut up all the receiving blankets I received, sewed the edges and used them as cloth wipes. Voila - free wipes
@MsMini: Yeah, we have a few quilts. My grandma made him two, and my great aunt made him one. One is the general colors, and the two from my grandma - albeit beautiful - are safari animals in baby green and blue, which don't match. But it's the sentiment. It's special to have something from his great-grandma. We use them as a play mat.
nectarine / 2039 posts
@Coco Bee: that's a good one. For us, we already have more than enough cloth wipes though.
