Me and DH said the same thing, and then I had my shower, and my living room looked like an explosion of baby things.

You will organize little by little, you end up finding room for things. Most of the things you get go into the closet or draws, some things go in the kitchen. The things we don't need right now (extra lightweight stroller, highchair, etc) we left in the boxes and put them in a closet.

Re: How is all this "stuff" going to fit in our house?!?!

we had the same conversation today as well. Saying we weren't counting on 2 of everything, as it was we were wondering where 1 of everything was going.

I guess we will figure it out as we get there

That's why I just stopped at storage again today to drop stuff off! Nothing but necessities are coming into our co-op until we buy a house.

Chat Icon It is overwhelming at first, but like PP's have said you find the room and a lot of it is used at different times. For me, I had to just make peace that my house was not my house anymore, but Emmy's. It's more cluttered, but slowely it all gets used/stored/packed away. My suggestion is use what you need and store the rest. No need to set up the high chair yet, no need for an activity mat yet, no need to have the bouncer up yet...you get the point.

We only have a 1 bdrm apartment -- and I just started to purge today. It's amazing how much excess "stuff" we keep that we don't need and can make room when it's necessary.

We've got the same worries x2.

We're in a small 3 bedroom apartment but right now we're packed to the gils. We have 1 bedroom as an office which we need and another bedroom as a storage closet b/c closet space is pretty limited here.

I am a BTDT mom x3 now and I would be happy to look over your registry and tell you what you can easily live without. I think a lot of people get caught up in " must haves" that you can really easily live without Chat Icon
