Before we found out #3 was coming, I knew of three babies arriving soon. In August (due the 16th, my brother's birthday), my friend Becky is expecting her second. Prediction is a boy. Then in October there are two on their way: my sister-in-law's and my cousin's. We have found out that my SIL is having a girl. I was very excited for both of them, and especially pleased that my holding on to all my maternity clothes, baby clothes, baby items was not for naught. My cousin already had two kiddos and had items of her own (plus lived states away), but this was my SIL's first baby and I was looking forward to having a little cousin wearing some of our kids' clothes. I washed the Baby Bjorn again, the cover for the high chair, went though my tubs of boy clothes, and sent my maternity clothes over to her to go through.
Then before I could go through our tubs of girl clothes. . . .baby count grew to 4. Ours.
I had to retract our previous offer of baby clothes and items . . . but since this was their first, they were interested in creating their own environment for their future child. Very understandable, and very helpful for us.
I have since learned of three other babies due in November, and another in December like us.
Baby count is up to 8. So far, 2 boys and 1 girl accounted for. The end of 2013 is going to be packed with little ones.
