I just want to point out one reason why my Mom is so amazing! Of course there are many reasons, but she was just such a blessing to me yesterday and I want to share about it.
You see all these piles of clothes?! There were actually more piles but I couldn't get them in the picture. These are clothes that friends and family members have let us use for Lily! It's amazing, yet overwhelming at the same time. I finally got all of them washed, dried, and neatly piled so they wouldn't get too wrinkled. It was about 10-11 full washer loads of clothes, in case you were wondering!
Well, yesterday my dear Mom offered to come over and help me fold and sort by size all these clothes!
Believe it or not, it only took us about 1 hour to get it all done! Many hands make light work, I suppose. Such an overwhelmingly huge job (or so it seemed to me) was so easy with my Mom there helping.
Now the nursery looks like this...all the sizes in piles. I just have to fill the dresser drawers and totes now! It's such a relief to have this job nearly done. Thank you so much Mom for your help!! I love you.
By the way, Lily has plenty of clothes...from size preemie to size 4T!! Such a blessing!
Wow, praise the Lord -- for your mom and for those clothes!!
ReplyDeletewhat a blessing!!!!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderfully amazing that you've already got precious Lily clothed for 4 years of her life! What a beautiful gift from your friends and family!
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited about the BIG day coming up!!!
Gotta love moms! Wow, what a blessing to be all set with clothes until Lily is 4, wow! Now she just has to get here so you can play dress up. : )
ReplyDeleteThat's just incredibly amazing!! :)
ReplyDeleteWow, God is so good. That is such a blessing to have all those clothes. Now you get to purchase the things that Lily just can't do without that you run across from time to time.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Praise the Lord for great family and friends!! And for Moms!
ReplyDeleteI was so happy to help! This is such an exciting time, and it's a joy to watch you becoming a mommie! Love you.

ReplyDeleteSo I guess you can cross clothes off the list. lol That's nice that your mom came and helped you out! You guys got a lot done in a hour! Good job!!
ReplyDeleteYou've been so blessed...how wonderful that you're ready up to 4T!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd I must admit I am jealous that your mom lives so close and can help you do these fun baby tasks!! (My mom is 3 1/2 hours away!)
Isn't it fun going through all the clothes you know your baby is going to be wearing all so soon. I'm expecting twin girls, so their room looks a lot like yours. It's a lot of work, but oh so worth it. Isn't God wonderful!!! You're in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a task! It is nice to have friends with kids. Unfortunately, we were the first to have kids out of our friends, so we are the ones always lending out, but it is still nice. :) She looks like she is set for quite awhile. :)
ReplyDeleteWow! You've got an awesome mom! Great job! (Love the nursery, by the way!)
ReplyDeleteLOVE LOVE LOVE it. Bella was overflowing with clothes too. People were so generous. Isn't God good. I'm sure it was fun going through it all. yay!
ReplyDeleteHope she has a huge closet!
