JoAnna...I'm so very sorry!

I voted keep them--because I absolutely DID love the diapers I bought and couldn't bare to part with them. I'm glad I did, b/c I did end up getting pg again the very first time we tried.
But like others said--you know better how you feel--do what feels right. You're in my prayers, sweetie!

I didn't vote. I'd say go with your heart on this one.

I know for me it was very satisfying putting clothes on my second child after loosing two pregnancies to get him. Seeing him in clothes I had bought for my miscarriages kind of erased a bit of the pain for me.

I'm so sorry about your loss momma.

First, I am sorry for all that has happened.
Second, I think you should keep the favorite's, and sell the rest.

I'm so sorry to hear of your m/c.

If it were me, I would probably sell them so I could buy a fresh stash later. The stash you already put your heart into putting together might be too painful for you to go through. My only m/c was a very early one, and even that was extraordinarily painful. I don't know how far along you were, but if it was long enough to buy a stash, I just think it would be hard to look at those dipes without feeling some sadness when you are pg again and when the new baby comes.

I have no opinion but I'm sorry for your loss.

I have heard that elastic doesn't store long term well, but I'm not sure how long "long term" is. I don't have a source to cite, it's just something I've read. Maybe someone else will weigh in on that? For the rest you could buy a Space Bag at WalMart to store them in.

For me, it would be painful to sell them.
