I thought it would be practical to have boy/girl twins for all the hand-me-downs. But boy/boy works out pretty good too. Of course the first born had so many clothes bought for him, that we should be just fine. His first Christmas, for example, he had 3 different outfits. I can imagine the first two on each of the boys. Not matching (good!), but definitely coordinating. I've already gone through all the bins in the basement and cleared out all the girl stuff (I kept a few of my favourite things). We now have 4 big rubbermaid bins that are empty. It was fun to see all of Anderson's old clothes, I'm excited to pull them out again, since they've been in hiding for the last 4 years. Getting my nesting done really early. Even though I'm only 22 weeks, I feel like 8-9 months already!
Always love the bright colours

I have to say that I really liked having 2 boys and pulling out those super cute clothes to use again! So I can totally see why you are excited! I find it sad when Anna grows out of her clothes (SO FAST!) that I have to just get rid of them with nobody else to use them again! I too have kept a few favourites and stored them away in their baby boxes (my mom saved some of my clothes for me and I loved putting Anna in a few special things). I also saved a few of my absolute favourites for Joel and put them in his bin without passing them down to Owen. Those were Joel's special things and Owen got a few new special outfits too!
