I am due august 1st, and in mild preterm labor (it's not progressing but they will let me go when it does start progressing.)

So, friday it occured to me that I should unpack all the baby clothes before I fill every dresser door with the diapers and covers I have been sewing and knitting!!:blush:

And lo and behold, I find only 12 month and up. Whoops. I checked freecycle, craigslist, of COURSE the FSOT, and priced a newborn/preemie stash for the time being at the store. DH and I are already sweating cause I'm using up all my vacation pay now (for bedrest) instead of as a "in case fund" for when I leave my job permanently in July.

So this morning my loving wonderful did another sweep of the garage and voila! Beneath the boxes of tile, was a rubbermaid container full of 3-6 and 6-9 month clothing! I have about 10 newborn outfits, but that's okay. I have enough to make it, and august babies wear onesies only, right?

Bonus, I found 3 PUL diaper covers. Hooray!:lostit:

I know the feeling! I can't find several of my baby boy stuff, tons of girl stuff. Maybe baby is a girl :)
