That's such a lovely idea!! Babies really bring people together
I was the first in my group of friends to have babies.
I bought a cot, change table and matching rocking-chair in 2004 when we lived in Ohio.
Then we bought it all back to Australia when my 2nd was just a baby....
The set went to a friend and has seen her through her two girls and has *just* started being used for baby #5 as my BFF gave birth 10 days ago.
I LOVE that it's getting so much use and finger's crossed it comes 'home' to us when it's finished there so we can use it again 10 years after the fact!
Good lord I'm clucky as just thinking about it!!
That is so neat! My younger brother just had his first and his wife's family had an old wooden rocking horse that got handed down from kid to kid, then around their church family and town. When K turned up pregnant, one of her brother's learned that the horse was in someone's attic! He and his mom fixed it up and gave it to mom and baby for christmas. I thought that was so sweet and nice.
Assuming all goes well, I'll be the third kid in my family to have kids and the 14th grandchild to make my grandparents great grandparents. I will be among the first of my friends to have kids, but there is still a LOAD of baby stuff floating around these parts.
UGH it's 330 in the morning and I should be sleeping, not thinking about stuff for a baby that probably doesn't even exist yet.
Wow a second hand shower sounds amazing! If I get pregnant I will be the first on both sides of the family though as both my and my DH have only younger siblings and cousins. I like the idea for a shower where people all bring an old childhood book!
