Rummaging Through Baby Clothes

I started cleaning up the nursery today in preparation for painting. I decided to see what I had for 0-3 month clothes. Oh my god! I have 31 one piece outfits and 15 shirt and pant outfits...it barely fits in the dresser. Thank you all for your generosity because most of these clothes were gifts. Some are a little stained from the huge amount of spit up that Tyler was constantly spewing, but most are still in great shape. Looking in the next size up, all of my 3-6 month clothes are shorts and T-shirts for summer. Unless this guy is a little one that grows slow, that is going to be a problem. If anyone is planning on buying for Christmas or Birthday please go for the 3-6 month size. You may want to wait too, because if this one grows like Ivan I'll need 6-9 month by Christmas.
As far as other baby needs I've got 20 or so receiving blankets, a whole drawer full of spit up rags and bibs and every baby accessory or toy sold on the market. The only thing I'm going to need is diapers and wipes. I usually use Pampers newborn and size 1 and then switch to Costco Huggies which aren't available till size 2.
Please do not read this as a solicitation for more stuff. Everyone has been so generous in the past I really don't expect anything more. Now if this child comes out as a girl (that would be a big surprise and I'm pretty sure I've seen boy parts at the ultrasound) then your free to buy every cute and frilly thing you can find! haha.
