Making Room For Baby | Newborn Storage

 I've got 5 weeks and 5 days left of my pregnancy, thank the Lord! Baby is head down (she's been head down every appointment since 28 weeks) and she's growing right on track! My next appointment will be 36 weeks and from then on I'll be going to the doctor every week. Man I'm just so ready for October to get here and to finally see what she looks like! I'm so curious as to what color she'll be, I'm "yellow" and daddy is more "caramel" so she could go either way, and I'm praying she has "easy" hair. I say easy because Pumpkins hair, well lets just say its been a struggle. I have a feeling she's going to look just like daddy though, even though I secretly hope she's a good mixture of both of us (leaning more towards mommy though haha!) I ordered my diaper bag so definitely stay tuned to find out which one I chose! Honestly I may buy 2 just because I'm so in love with 2 different diaper bags but we'll see.

Being that I am so close to her arrival, I thought I'd share with you all how I store everything I've gotten so far for baby. 90% of everything she has I actually received free. I highly encourage expecting mothers to research your local pregnancy resources because there is a lot of help out there for pregnant women. At least there is here in Minnesota. I personally have went through Tapestry Families for a lot of resources. They offer prenatal care in which you receive a brand new crib and carseat if participating in the prenatal care program, but they also have list to get on for pack and plays, strollers, carseats and more.

They also have classes you can take where you earn points for attending and then you can use your points in their baby boutique (all brand new clothing and accessories) and in their thrift store. So I definitely took advantage of a lot of the classes and Baby is set wardrobe wise for at least her first 6 - 9 months! So definitely check to see if your city has any programs such as this one!

Anywho back to the storage!

I live in a 2 bedroom so that means Pumpkin and Baby will be sharing not only a room but closet & storage space. I rarely used the closet for pumpkin because I just kept all her clothing in her drawer. So I decided to go ahead and make the closet the place I hang most of baby's clothing. Then I recently purchased this little hanging organizer to add more storage space in the closet.

For everything else I purchased the Munchkin Nursery Organizer. I love this because I'm able to fit all her non clothes items plus all her onesies. I think I'm going to buy one more storage item just in case because as you can see I've used all the storage up. Definitely a good thing because she is pretty much set but I'm waiting to see what all I get at my baby shower before I buy the last storage piece.

What is/was your favorite way to store your baby's clothes and accessories.
