I am 25 weeks pregnant with a little girl.
Many many many friends and co-workers are GIVING me items.
Free crib, changing table and TONS of clothes.
I just had my dad's co-worker drop off 5 bags of 0-4T clothes, gently used.
My dressers are full, and don't have room to store everything for 4 years.
What can I do? Donate the larger sizes or take to consignment??
My house is only so big.

Same thing happened to us with my son.
Go through all the clothes and pick out the stuff you really like and KNOW you'll use- put that aside to keep. Also, try to get stuff in sizes that youre baby will be during the right season. For example, if your baby is 3 months old in the winter, you'll want to keep longsleeved things, and not baby bikinis. In the summer, when she's 9 months, you'll want to have short sleeved things.
Keep in mind if people in your (and the fathers) family are petite, tall, or heavy set. My daughter is always a size ahead of her age because shes big.
If you need extra cash- take it to consignment or list it on craigslist. If you dont, give them away or give them to goodwill (if you itemize it, you can get a nice tax deduction this way.)

Hi I would donate half of the item syou have and take the other items to a consignment store where they can buy back the items from you. Take the money you get from there and save it for your soon to be newborn. There are many people and families who would greatly appreciate the baby items not many people unfortunately can afford them and don't have to provide for their kids or for their babies. I think it's a good option and you end giving back to the community and starting a saving account for your unborn child.

You are very lucky to have such nice friends/family.. I have everything sorted and in spacebags.. They fit under the crib/in closet whatever.. I have everything seperated by size etc... Go through everything and donate what you dont' want to someone in need.. Or to consignment for larger sizes... Be gracious and thankful that so many are looking out for you... Return the favor.. Maybe send nice thank you notes... good luck..

Find a homeless shelter and donate most of the clothes. The tell all those nice people that they are very generous but you were overwhelmed. and you know they would appreciate knowing that the clothes went to a good cause.

If you can't store it, and your parents can't store it then consider donating the clothes. If you need the money then sell to consignment but it is nice to spread the generosity around. You might consider church groups, shelters for abused women, and freecycle.

definite. He desires to bear in mind that 40-50 will flow away in taxes additionally for his winnings. That further money could be used to enhance ministries, adolescents communities, and a great variety of alternative properly to do issues. So he will finally end up interior the tip with $350K extra or much less.

Keep what you want and then give back by donating the rest.

Other people have been kind to help you, see if there is a women's shelter you can bring items to. A lot of those women really need help.
