I'll get her her own stuff when it matters and she's old enough to care :)Kindra https://www.blogger.com/profile/02836518800782385529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8005201863126040951.post-76068443980855946882009-09-14T21:08:33.674-06:002009-09-14T21:08:33.674-06:00Kin - when it comes down to it I'm now sure I...Kin - when it comes down to it I'm now sure I could really justify it either. I'm too darn practical and I'd rather spend money on things the kids will actually appreciate when they're older.Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06634475621465006204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8005201863126040951.post-79662852410601101072009-09-14T08:15:02.046-06:002009-09-14T08:15:02.046-06:00Carla I totally know how you feel.

I was super jealous when I was pregnant the very first time at the same time as Kelly and she was painting her baby's room and doing and buying all kinds of fun things. I went home and looked at my crappy spare bedroom in our rented house and felt so sad and envious I couldn't join in on decorating and buying all things cute and wonderful for the baby. Once Eva came I realized how unimportant those things are, so we actually didn't buy ANYTHING for Isabella. Not a thing. Some people were going out and buying brand new $300 bedding for their second even though they were having the same gender and their oldest was in a toddler bed...I just can't justify it! God didn't create us to acquire "stuff", or to have stuff "bigger and better" than other people's. I just had to let it go. And Bella is perfectly happy with her playpen, stroller, carseat, high chair, etc that her big sis used :)Kindra https://www.blogger.com/profile/02836518800782385529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8005201863126040951.post-45856502062891530562009-09-12T20:31:34.993-06:002009-09-12T20:31:34.993-06:00Thanks!
