Soooo, did you just keep all of your baby toys until #2 arrived?  Or did you get rid of some of the bigger stuff and buy new stuff?    Maria wants hardly anything to do with her exersaucer anymore and it's huge and time to get packed up.    We are apartment living, so storage is at a minimum.

We kept way too much. I'm seriously going to work on getting rid of clothes. The big stuff we kept (except the crib lol) b/c it will be used again. But...we have a big attic and shed. You could always sell it then buy a second hand one next time.

Do you have a friend who's expecting and won't be getting one? You could lend it to them then get it back when their done and its time for baby number 2...

We kept everything...in my parents' basement  smile. It's time to pack up some stuff again and I'm debating. I guess I'll hang on to it for a few more years, just in case.

 lmao

I'm keeping all the clothes, just in case.   Because she has WAY too many! lol   If we don't end up needing them, I'll sell as much as I can. 

Maria loved the exersaucer, she's just so mobile now that she's not interested much.   And unfortunately, I *don't* have any friends expecting....so I can't pawn it off on them! lol  It wouldn't be so bad if we had kept the box! lol  I guess if we packed it up right with some other toys we could hold on to it.   When we moved last time, we got rid of a TON of stuff, so what's in our tiny porch storage is mostly empty boxes.

We saved everything! I got rid of the pink travel system and pack-n-play not too long ago and we bought new ones for Sean. This time around, I'm already getting rid of stuff! My brother is getting all of Sean's clothes as he outgrows them and Im selling or giving away the big stuff. SIL is having a girl in Dec, so I offered her the 2 swings and Kae's crib set. If she doesn't take them I'm craigslisting it!

I saved everything. We had an alcove by the stairs that it all fit nicely in, then when we moved here we had the crib that was all of a sudden unused and all that stuff went into the attic. I saved all Eli's clothes too because I didn't know the sex of Audrey yet.
You could take the exersaucer apart and it wouldn't be so huge. It would slide under a bed or something. Eli wasn't a huge fan of it but Audrey liked it so I'm glad I didn't get rid of it. I found the swing to be the worst one to store, it was awkward all folded up because it would tip over so easy and it just hogged up a lot of space.

Even if we were having more I'd probably sell some of the stuff for more space lol

As soon as my kids outgrow something I find a way to get rid of it. lol I am different though. My kids are 10 years apart & Chloe is my last baby..no reason to keep anything. If I was planning more kids I would have saved everything probably.

We keep everything baby right now.  Who knows how many more I'll have and I'm not going to buy 3 exersaucers, car seats (unless they expire), carriers, you name it...

Cady's got lots of blue (b/c of Aedan) but that's ok, I'm trying to intermix lots of pink, green and yellow to kind of mellow it out.  I have way too many baby clothes, I even have ones I didn't like so she/he didn't wear but when I have time I'll go through and purge a little and in the meantime we have a storage unit that we share w/my Dad and Sister in Orlando...

It's not very costly if you can find a good place hugs good luck!

I kept everything after A outgrew it because I knew I'd TTC again quickly, and I share a storage place with my mom so I have somewhere to keep everything.

I am very unlikely to have another but for some reason can't let go... I need to though!!
