Last night, I organized and folded all of Scout's 0-6 month clothing and packed them away in a big 30 gallon plastic tote. It made me a little sad to see and touch the tiny pajamas she wore as a newborn...tiny hats...tiny socks...

But I was also happy. I joked with DH when he walked through the room and asked what I was doing. "Putting clothes away for Scout's baby sister", I said, trying not to show my huge dorky grin. Of course, I am NOT pregnant...and we are not even close to being ready to try for another baby. But the thought of having another little girl who would someday wear those clothes made me so happy...... Another little girl, who would follow Scout around and learn from her and play with her....who would annoy her at times (I am a big sister, so I know these things) but would ultimately end up being her best playmate and best friend. Shortly after that thought, I imagined not being able to use any of those adorable clothes for the next baby because of the possibility that it might be a boy. Well, that made me smile all huge and dorky-like too!
