Feeling: sad

My Husband and I have had our final baby. We were the first on both of our families to have the first baby, so we bought all the things like moses baskets, next to me’s, bouncers etc. when we had no use for them anymore, there was always a family member/friend to pass them on to, knowing they were nearby and would come back to us when not needed by others. Our next to me has held 5 babies through their first months of life. Now we’ve just had our final baby, and he’s outgrown all the newborn things, and we find ourselves with no friends/family members to pass them on to. We made the decision to donate them all, as they’d already been donated around our close circle we don’t want to charge someone for them, and I find myself so emotional. This time I know they won’t come back to us, they’ll house another baby who we’ll never know. I’m really struggling with letting them go for sentimental reasons, although I know they’re better serving someone else than gathering dust in storage. To whoever gets them, I wish you and your baby the happiest, healthiest and most loving life possible ❤️
