One look at your newborn baby Emma and all your fears will disappear :)<br /><br />Yes, I think you should keep some washed 3-6mos clothes on hand. My nieces only fit into 0-3mos for a month at most. But then again, babies come in all shapes and sizes.<br /><br />Also, I'd say, don't worry about having too many onesies, because you can easily go through a handful per day. Babies spit up a lot.... and leaky diapers are bound to happen along the way.<br /><br />Lastly, my little tip for the adorable summer clothes... As with adults, I say you keep your absolute faves, and dress your baby girl in layers. Like, a summer dress over itty bitty baby leggings and covered with a cardigan. Or, you can layer the dress over long-sleeve onesies with tights.<br /><br />Hope this helps...<br /><br />Wishing you the best!khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16149884537244088081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6887483054724929799.post-64591901632174357462010-07-14T22:38:12.352-04:002010-07-14T22:38:12.352-04:00You guys are THE BEST!

Hopefully my melodramatic episodes will soon subside.<br /><br />I forced myself to go to prenatal yoga class today and I'm so glad I did! I felt a whole lot better and was able to finish washing and folding everything once I got home. I also treated myself to a huge plate of chicken parm + pasta for dinner while watching So You Think You Can Dance (go Lauren go!) I feel like myself again (thank goodness)! Thanks again for all of your comments, I definitely needed them today!!Marichellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03289607423299633333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6887483054724929799.post-45354617369442818262010-07-14T19:29:43.580-04:002010-07-14T19:29:43.580-04:00Deep breaths!

And if you need to ignore the clothes pile for a few days - you've made it so you have the time to do that.<br /><br />I don't think I would the tags off of everything yet. Just the things you love. She may grow to fast to fit in the rest anyway, and you may be able to return some of it or, like you said, give it to other pregnant friends.<br /><br />Good luck!Kristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12514307448224535409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6887483054724929799.post-49985337137276549552010-07-14T17:26:10.974-04:002010-07-14T17:26:10.974-04:00ummm...i love that you took a break and wrote abou...ummm...i love that you took a break and wrote about it. you're doing really really well...i think this is, dare i say, a normal freakout. take it minute by minute and let your hormone flag fly sister. <br /><br />(and i think you do need a lot of onesies--someone told me that. and a lot of those burping blankets. do you need me to come out there and help you clean up the baby shower bomb? because i will!Bonbon Oiseauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00217372750598243358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6887483054724929799.post-88921152264486991642010-07-14T16:02:34.289-04:002010-07-14T16:02:34.289-04:00Holy shitballs!!

Definitely laundry the stuff you love first and the 0-3 month stuff. Worry about the dresses and other stuff later.

I wish I was there to help you sort it out and hand you tissues for your tears. Every woman is different of course, but I think it's perfectly normal to feel overwhelmed and emotional towards the end of a pregnancy (that doesn't make if fun though).

After all, just look at all that cute stuff your little Emma has to be adored in! <br /><br />Just give yourself plenty of time to get everything done and you'll soon start to enjoy the sweet scent of Dreft and images of you holding baby Emma. One other MUST HAVE baby item that smells so good are MUSTELLA products. I highly recommend the cleansing fluid!Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16128369983940810676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6887483054724929799.post-66110286456164860652010-07-14T10:50:04.658-04:002010-07-14T10:50:04.658-04:00Aw...my darling friend.

Everything will become clear in the moment and being overwhelmed is completely normal. And NO, this is not a preview of ppd. It is just your hormones, the heat, and the fact that you are having. A. BABY. :) I will be home soon( saturday) and will come help you sort it all out. Okay? A huge hug for you my friend. <br />xoxo<br />MelisMelissa de la Fuentehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11661331071900323378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6887483054724929799.post-82444768533850422952010-07-14T10:44:31.754-04:002010-07-14T10:44:31.754-04:00First off, take a break.

For example, things I want to keep, things I don't want/or wont use. Then, I would bag up the don't want stuff and focus on the keep pile.<br /><br />I hope this helps!Danielle and Clinthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01819018158052588426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6887483054724929799.post-19295721372085091462010-07-14T10:04:52.696-04:002010-07-14T10:04:52.696-04:00Aw!

Yes, some things will never get worn, but just pass them on and you'll feel better that they are being used. The baby will outgrow things in what seems like a blink of an eye and a year from now, you'll wonder if she ever fit into them! My advice is to use the ones you love the most and don't worry about giving equal time to things you might feel obligated to wear. Cherish these small moments!Michelle Engel Bencskohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16219482020450093441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6887483054724929799.post-27611727837881307232010-07-14T10:00:12.413-04:002010-07-14T10:00:12.413-04:00Hi Marichelle,
