Getting organized...

I have slowly been trying to get all the baby clothes and accessories that we have accumulated these past few months into a more organized manner.  It was starting to get a little out of control and everything was just piling up in the closet!  I am nowhere near close to completing the organization project but I am off to a good start.  Once I go on maternity leave I will have a lot more time on my hands and can spend more time putting things in their place before she arrives.

This past week I began washing all of the newborn and 0-3 months clothing.  I figured those are going to be the ones we will use first so the others can wait for now.  Then I went to Target where I found small shoebox size rubbermaid containers to put in the dresser drawers.  I got the idea from a baby board I follow, when I saw a girl post pictures of her nursery.  I hadn't even considered how I was going to separate everything in the drawers but it makes perfect sense to use containers and three fit perfect in one drawer.  When you are dealing with tiny baby sized clothing organization is key!

Here are the first two drawers that I organized....

This drawer is the pajama and onesie drawer.  The far left container has Dunebuggy's pajamas.  The middle container has her newborn size onesies and the far right container has her 3 month onesies.

This drawer is the diaper and accessories drawer.  The far left container has her Thirsties diaper covers.  The middle container has all of her itty bitty socks.  The far right has other accessories such as hats and tutus.

As I complete the other drawers I will share more pictures.  I think in the long run all this organization will pay off.  Brandon asked me the other day why I hadn't done this with out drawers...ha!  Maybe if I get carried away I will move on to organizing our drawers next.

My good friend Shelby threw me the most amazing shower today!  She really went out of her way and made me feel so special.  I won't share all the details, as I am going to wait until she gets me the pictures she took to create a blog for it, but we had a much needed pedicure followed by delicious treats and girl talk at her house.  There were even some surprises at her house from my mom and sisters.  

Shelby made the most amazing fabric banner for Dunebuggy's room and as soon as I got home I had Brandon hang it over the armoire.  It looks amazing!!  Thank you Shelby for everything!
