Urgh.

I couldn't resist. Because, you know, when in Montana.. .

Yeah, yeah. I feel silly buying stuff. Clothing especially. I just got a 12m size, because I have no idea how big a baby I'm going to have, and a 6m size that fit up to 16 lbs seemed like it would be too small before summer, maybe. (And that was what they had--6m, 12m, 16m.)

I don't know very much about this stuff. Do children need to wear clothes or...? ;)

They do need to wear clothes. We bought all 12 month and bigger stuff which is what Henrietta is in now. The baby can wear that under other things in the winter.

I've read not to buy smaller clothes (or that many clothes) because that's always what your family wants to get you--whether you ask for it or not.

And I don't think I've ever met a newborn (who wasn't premature) who fit into newborn clothes for more than 5 minutes.

You can buy a ton of adorable nearly-new newborn clothes at any number of garage sales all summer for peanuts, because yeah, they only fit for five minutes.

MOOSIES!

It works for Minnesota AND Montana.

I told D not to be trampled by a moose while camping, so I feel this is some kind of sign.

There is no need to resist the moose clothing. Buying some adorable baby clothes is every new parent's constitutional right, I am pretty sure.

I have a small, nagging superstition about buying things before the child is born. Which is silly and old-fashioned, I know.
