Kind & Generous

I'm slowly building up my baby registry.  It's a time consuming/overwhelming task.  There is sooooooooo much I don't know, products I've never heard of or new existed, things people tell me I need and don't need, and of course conflicting reviews on almost everything.

One thing I don't need to put on the registry is baby clothes.  I've already collected a decent amount of new and used clothing from excited grandparents and friends.  This box arrived in the mail last week from one of my bff's,  Kyah,  in Nashville--she was so excited to find out I was having a girl so she could send me a ton of her baby girls outgrown things.  
I could not believe the amount of stuff she fit in this box!
This picture isn't even all of it.  There was also a good amount of maternity clothing, and non clothes items.  I've also received baby/maternity items from my friends Lindsy, Rachelle, and Kaela. And then out of the blue, the woman who found Augustus when he went missing called me to let me know that she wanted me to have her crib and other baby items that had been sitting in her basement for a bit. (acribareyouforrealz?)  And it's a beautiful crib (pics to come). 

Thank you friends for your generosity in forms of stuff, encouragement, advice, future babysitting offers, support and prayers.  I'm one lucky mama to be.
