- the cleaning out of my closet, under my bed, the storage shed.
- the organization of all things junk.
- the going through of all clothes collected in 6 years of having babies.
- the washing and drying of all those clothes.
- the sorting into 4 different giveaway piles.
- the emotional upheaval that comes with giving away those baby clothes you’ve always kept for “the next one.”

Oh, I don’t even wanna think about that! Cayson has a HUGE stack of clothes from the past year that I have to go through. We were given a lot of clothes and I know we won’t need all of them for the next one. Especially knowing how I love to buy baby clothes!
