God provides! This week He blessed us with a whole bunch of baby items for an even lower price than last time: FREE!
Freepeats recently opened a forum for Charlotte-area moms to swap "gently-used baby, kid, and maternity items like clothing, high chairs, bouncers, swings, bikes, and toys for free." This online community (with forums for more than 23 cities) provides an organized system for parents to give away their unneeded items and pick up other useful items. I've been looking forward to the opportunity to participate for over a year (ever since I first heard about Freepeats).
Less than two weeks after the Charlotte forum opened, someone in my neighborhood posted an offering of baby girl clothes, blankets, and products. I let her know I was interested and we made arrangements for me to pick them up. This morning, on our way to an OB appointment (all is well with baby!) we got what I gratefully refer to as "a gift." Here's a picture:
While we have very little and are mostly in receiving mode right now, I hope to be able to share our blessings with someone else on Freepeats in the future.
PS If you're a Charlotte mom who hasn't yet joined Freepeats, I encourage you to do so now. Free membership until 9/16!

Frances,
That is wonderful!!
When is your ultrasound? Soon, I'd imagine--are you finding out?
Meant to correct something I told you after giving it more thought. I definitely bought more than one or two new maternity clothing items, which I realized after pulling them all down from the attic last week. But the vast majority came secondhand. Have you had any luck yet?
