Good morning!! Allison, I too would like to congratulate you. It's always so much fun to hear about new babies coming. It's even more fun to watch the mothers when they do come. This is so exciting!!
Again Melissa is on the right track, of course, as I knew she would be. After all, she has had three of them herself. I still have to work to keep my own children organized and, they are 12 and 14. Far from babies!! Somethings I keep in mind. Even now that they are teens. Number one. I buy boys socks and they're all white for both children. I buy 40 para year. Again, I like Melissa's idea of putting all the socks into mesh bags and washing them that way. That way, they don't get sucked up into the great socks oblivion. That's a great idea!! Again, a lot of you have the right idea. Kids love Jeans, T-shirts, and sweatshirts anyway. So, what's the difference. By all boys clothing. Whole lot cheaper than buying girls, and the boys. For one thing, boys clothing is much warmer than girls. I don't know why this sis. But, it's true. Boys, clothing is much more durable and warmer then girls clothing. Girls clothing is made more cheaply. Not the quality of boys clothing. Are used to find that years ago when I was in college. I stopped by and leave ladies clothing unless I was buying dresses. If I wanted jeans, T-shirts, or sweatshirts, I bought myself men's clothing it fit me better. It was a lot warmer. And it worked. And, it was cheaper than buying ladies clothing. The socks were much warmer. So, when win situation all around!

> Hello Allison,
> I think these are all great tips. Also, as far as clothes go, some of the outfits which go together will actually feel the same, which can help a lot. Sometimes, for example, there are ruffles on shirts which feel the same as ruffles on pants. Or the material of the outfits feels the same, which can work very well unless you have other outfits with the same material. In that case, you could mark just one outfit of that material. That means less marking, and you will still be able to have outfits match. Another thing is, I would probably concentrate on organizing and figuring out a matching system for the clothes for 0-3 months and 3-6 months, as those are the outfits you will need first. The others I would put in bins or bags you label with the correct sizes. You can concentrate more on those when the baby actually is getting closer to needing them, or, if you really have time to do it after you have the first smallest sizes organized. Finally, I agree with Julie that one piece outfits are the best things ever! No worries about matching. No worries about little socks to keep track of. And, they now make really cute one piece outfits for boys and girls. Blue jeans, or black or blue pants are also great, even for girls. You can't go wrong with them as far as matching goes. Oh, and you will be washing clothes quite often, which actually helps in keeping outfits together if you are good about putting everything away soon after it is washed. Believe me, in the scheme of things, it really does not matter too much what your baby wears. She will look adorable any way you slice it. Also, if you really want to have her look special when you are going out somewhere, keep a few outfits in a different place and just use them when you are taking her somewhere you want her to look her cutest. Use other outfits for around the house. Know though, that you will be changing her clothes more than you can imagine, especially in the beginning. Don't stress if you have her all ready to go in the cutest outfit ever, and then all of a sudden there is an explosion of some kind, and she ends up wearing her last clean outfit... Which is a plain sleeper which isn't very special... This will happen, and it all falls into the category of "don't sweat the small stuff" and, again, your baby will look great no matter what!
> You will figure all of this out. It just takes time, and it really does help if you break it all down into smaller steps based on what the baby will need now, and what she won't need until later. One more tip I found really helpful, and should still use... Although I don't. I used zippered mesh bags in order to keep all of my babies' socks together in the wash. It wasn't a question of keeping them matched, as I eventually just bought all white socks. But, it did keep them from being eaten by the sock monster in the drier or washer, which was a huge help.
> Good luck. What an exciting time for all of you!

> For diapers, I put the current size on an easy to reach shelf. I put the next size up on the bottom shelf with other non essential stuff. The rest I'd sort into large plastic bags, like garbage bags, label each large bag and stuff the whole mess into the closet. You won't be changing diaper sizes that frequently that you need all those sizes out and at hand.

> I love those things! He was a long skinny child and most clothing options never stayed in the right places. When he got a bit older he wore bib overalls and T-shirts. It wasn't until he was in Kindergarten that he could finally wear jeans without them falling off.

> You could pin the outfits together. I don't know how they would do in the wash that way, I haven't tried it, but then they would always be matched up.
> Mostly though, I wouldn't worry about it. Even if you start out the day with a matching outfit, there will be some bodily function mishap that will necessitate changing some article of clothing, probably multiple times.

Which I actually love in theory cuz it's adorable, but in practice... will I actually be able to keep track of which pattern or specific color shade of pink or purple or aqua goes with which? Or which cute little owl or elephant or giraffe design goes with which other animal design? I have a system of labeling my own clothes which works just fine, but it appears that baby girls have many more possible shade, pattern, and color combinations than I do. I use 3 or 4 different safety pin styles that I use on four main color categories for all of my clothes. Since my categories are based on more neutral colors like black and beige that one doesn't usually see in kid clothes, I'm thinking my own system won't quite work for baby. And Darrell, my fianc? who is also blind, God love him, doesn't label any of his clothes ever. I have no idea how he shows up to work matching at all. Given that, I think we may need a new labeling or organization system for baby clothes, ideally one that we can both follow since we will both be dressing baby.

Like, does the fact that I'm concerned about this issue at all only demonstrate how much time I have on my hands now as compared to when baby actually arrives live on the scene?

> Hi, Allison,
>
> I totally get where you are. In our families, my blind husband and I were the youngest siblings, so were the last to have kids. I got tons of hand-me-downs from my sister-in-law through toddlerhood. Forl ack of a bettble idea, I got some sighted help to sort, and out came the garbageb ags for storage. Clothing ages 0-3 were the most important, so for right now, just concentrate on the clothing matching your baby's age, figure out a system for the immediate. Over the years you'l grow into a system that will work for you and your family, you don't have to have it all figured out right now.
>
> Have clothinga ges 3-6 months at the read for the next growth spurt, stored but ready.
>
> Clothing ages 6-9 months store. Clothing ages 9-12 months store.
>
> Clothing ages 1-2 years store, same with clothing ages 2-3 years, 3-4 years, and so on. Label each bag with the clothing sizes.
>
> Do the same with diapers. Keep out the diaper size you need, but store and label according to size. Stl ove the idea of a diaper raffle, and you will be surprised how quickly thesea bundant diapers will disappear, or how quickly your baby will grow out of them.
>
> About matching. I agree with you, outfits should match, but only concentrate on the immediate, and learn the outfits as you need them. For instance, get familiar with the 0-6 months right now if your baby is newborn, or whatever age she will be when she comes to you.
>
> Regarding sock: When our fi girl was a baby, I was determ-ed to have matching socks and was easy to do. I used safety pins and pinned pink pair together at the toe, lavender at the heal, yellow at the instep across from the heal, blue at the cuff, and left white alone. Don't remember any red stocks, but she did wear red tights as a toddler, and I tied a knot in the middle of the clean pair, knot the toes of the pink, whatever works.
>
> However, when she got older, more mobile, starting to play in the neighborhood as a toddler, going to preschool, I was starting to get overwhelmed with missing socks, swapped socks, and asked my sighted sister about this. She said that at that point she gave up and got both boys and girls white socks. I started doing the same and never looked back.
>
> Of course, as they got older into grade school and of course middle school, they were looking after their own things. Both girls are very coordinated to this day and are in their twenties.
>
> Anyway, hope all this helps you. Just take care of the immediate, and know you and your family will grow into the rest. By the way, those one-piece outfits, you can never have enough of them for babies. I loved them, and you don't have to worry so much about color matching. When they start !;come more mobile, then they will be wearing more of the traditional outfit.
>
> BTW, if you feel comfortable doing so, try some fun colors you haven't worn before. I wear lots of neutral myself, but every once in a while want to have some fun with different matching colors. Enjoy.

> My first was also a girl, i used safety pins to pin outfits together as someone else stated. I try to put the safety pins through the tags so there wasn't so much wear and tear on the clothing. A lot of times the tags are folded over so there's kind of a loop in them that I would slide the safety pin through so I wasn't making any holes at all. For clothing without tags I would can in the hemline at the bottom where the material was a bit thicker and less noticeable such as on the sides of the outfit for example. I also pin socks together because my daughter had 1000 different socks it seemed like. I'm so glad now she's old enough to pair her own socks. LOL. Boys are so much easier to dress like others have said you give them a pair of jeans and a T-shirt and they're good to go.

>> Hi Everybody,
>>
>> Our baby girl will be arriving in approximately five weeks and I'm trying to get somewhat organized beforehand. We've finally reached the point that we've accumulated some baby supplies and we're now trying to sort through the clutter.
>>
>> Does anyone have suggestions for keeping track of diapers and baby clothes?
>> We had a diaper raffle at our shower, which seemed like a good idea at the time, but now we have tons of packs of diapers of varying sizes and shapes scattered throughout the house. Before I start sorting and Braille labeling everything, does anyone have a diaper size organization system that you recommend? In short, does anyone have an idea that sucks less than dymo tape and index cards? <smile>.
>>
>> As for baby clothes... we have what feels like several dozen sizes of those too. A different size for every 3 months or so it seems. And the colors...
>> oh the colors! Everything baby girl seems very matchy matchy. Which I actually love in theory cuz it's adorable, but in practice... will I actually be able to keep track of which pattern or specific color shade of pink or purple or aqua goes with which? Or which cute little owl or elephant or giraffe design goes with which other animal design? I have a system of labeling my own clothes which works just fine, but it appears that baby girls have many more possible shade, pattern, and color combinations than I do. I use 3 or 4 different safety pin styles that I use on four main color categories for all of my clothes. Since my categories are based on more neutral colors like black and beige that one doesn't usually see in kid clothes, I'm thinking my own system won't quite work for baby. And Darrell, my fianc? who is also blind, God love him, doesn't label any of his clothes ever. I have no idea how he shows up to work matching at all. Given that, I think we may need a new labeling or organization system for baby clothes, ideally one that we can both follow since we will both be dressing baby.
>>
>> BTW, a terrific blind parent friend of mine whom I love and respect tremendously just suggested that I not worry about trying to match baby clothes since most everything is pink or purple and more or less goes together, but I admit that didn't feel quite right to me. Is she correct that I should let this go? Will I eventually be too sleep deprived to care about subtle shade and pattern matches? Like, does the fact that I'm concerned about this issue at all only demonstrate how much time I have on my hands now as compared to when baby actually arrives live on the scene?
>>
>> Any advice is appreciated.
>>
>> Thanks,
>> Allison, Darrell, and Baby Girl Pending
>>
>> P.S. What's up with all the owl designs on baby clothes? Does anyone else but me find them wise but totally not cute?

> Your responses really did help. It's a good reminder for me to know that I don't have to sort everything exactly all at once. Organizing the first things we'll need first is a great point. I realize now that I was feeling overwhelmed in part because I was trying to get everything ready in one big clump.
>
> Melissa, your socks in net bags idea is brilliant. I had forgotten that I used to do that for myself ages ago when I lived in an apartment with a shared laundry facility. It really did help cut down on sock escapes. Does anyone know of a good source for finding such washable bags though? Part of why I stopped using them was because they became difficult to find in stores. I think I need to revisit the idea though.
>
> Many of you suggested pinning outfits together too and I think we'll try that. I had thought it might be possible, but I worried that they'd be too heavy and might tear or become tangled in the wash. Kaila's tips on where and how to pin were helpful though, and if others have similar suggestions we'd love knowing more.
>
> And Judy, thanks for encouraging me to try more color combinations myself. You probably have a point. Although I don?t wear only 4 colors, my personal pinning system uses 4 color categories that I use for everything. For example, I don't necessarily label varying shades of blue separately, and colors like red or purple, at least when I wear them, more or less go with anything else. I liked your ideas for matching color and tights colors though, I'll probably devise a system like that myself eventually.

> Hello Allison,
> I think these are all great tips. Also, as far as clothes go, some of the outfits which go together will actually feel the same, which can help a lot. Sometimes, for example, there are ruffles on shirts which feel the same as ruffles on pants. Or the material of the outfits feels the same, which can work very well unless you have other outfits with the same material. In that case, you could mark just one outfit of that material. That means less marking, and you will still be able to have outfits match. Another thing is, I would probably concentrate on organizing and figuring out a matching system for the clothes for 0-3 months and 3-6 months, as those are the outfits you will need first. The others I would put in bins or bags you label with the correct sizes. You can concentrate more on those when the baby actually is getting closer to needing them, or, if you really have time to do it after you have the first smallest sizes organized. Finally, I agree with Julie that one piece outfits are the best things ever! No worries about matching. No worries about little socks to keep track of. And, they now make really cute one piece outfits for boys and girls. Blue jeans, or black or blue pants are also great, even for girls. You can't go wrong with them as far as matching goes. Oh, and you will be washing clothes quite often, which actually helps in keeping outfits together if you are good about putting everything away soon after it is washed. Believe me, in the scheme of things, it really does not matter too much what your baby wears. She will look adorable any way you slice it. Also, if you really want to have her look special when you are going out somewhere, keep a few outfits in a different place and just use them when you are taking her somewhere you want her to look her cutest. Use other outfits for around the house. Know though, that you will be changing her clothes more than you can imagine, especially in the beginning. Don't stress if you have her all ready to go in the cutest outfit ever, and then all of a sudden there is an explosion of some kind, and she ends up wearing her last clean outfit... Which is a plain sleeper which isn't very special... This will happen, and it all falls into the category of "don't sweat the small stuff" and, again, your baby will look great no matter what!
> You will figure all of this out. It just takes time, and it really does help if you break it all down into smaller steps based on what the baby will need now, and what she won't need until later. One more tip I found really helpful, and should still use... Although I don't. I used zippered mesh bags in order to keep all of my babies' socks together in the wash. It wasn't a question of keeping them matched, as I eventually just bought all white socks. But, it did keep them from being eaten by the sock monster in the drier or washer, which was a huge help.
> Good luck. What an exciting time for all of you!
