Hair pats please.

It will be okay. I'm going to start getting rid of clothes. It's freeing but also sad.

[bean47]

I cried giving our stuff away too (((hugs)))

[carawestt]

Wow, huge hugs! I wouldn't be able to do it but that is such a nice thing you're doing for them.

[monarobinson]

It's such a hard thing to do!!!

[silverjm]

We are for sure one and done, and I still haven't gotten rid of anything.

I just did this for my best friend, and it was really super emotional and had a sense of finality and mourning I wasn't expecting at all. Big, huge hugs. Wine helps. I'm sorry, honey. You are a tremendous and generous friend.

[steph196]

I'm sorry! That must be tough. Hugs!

Hugs. Getting rid of the high chair and big stroller is on the agenda this year and I'm looking forward to the space but not getting rid of it.

There is always more baby stuff to be bought if life takes you in another direction.

[AndyCohen]

Huge hugs.

[kkfeb04]

Huge hugs. You are very brave to do this. We are done but I can't bring myself to get rid of things.

[mlkgls]

((Hugs)) We are OAD also and it can be an emotionally charged decision. I'm sure your cousin is so appreciative. That's such a sweet gesture.

[joyhart02]

Big huge hugs. It is so hard giving this stuff away.

[jenbelle]

That is so sweet that you gave it to them, but it does crush your heart a little. Hugs.

You're so kind to give it to them! It's a bittersweet end to a chapter I know, but you have so much to look forward to!

Thanks everyone. I know it's silly to keep everything just in case we change our mind. I appreciate knowing others are attached to the "stuff" too.

Southwest destroyed out graco infant seat during our Christmas trip. I started crying when I realized it was totaled and had to be tossed. It brought both my babies home from the hospital, and now it was just getting chucked in a bin. (Obviously I'm still a little emotional about it) I think it's completely normal to get attached to your babies stuff, but you did a wonderful thing!

Hugs. It is so hard. I gave a few boxes of clothes away after William but then I lost heart and am still hoarding everything even though we have no space.

It's so hard to give stuff away but so nice of you to save them having to buy everything. You can always buy stuff later or somebody might do what you did for them and give you stuff if your situation changes.

Big hugs. It's so bittersweet.

that's definitely a tough era to say goodbye to
