Preparation for Baby No2 Part 1: Sorting and washing baby clothes

Last last long weekend (Wesak Day Weekend) , Mummy decided to take all baby clothes out from the baby’s cupboard to wash. Baby had the same small cupboard like Jeriel and is located in Jeriel’s room. Jeriel wanted to help. Mummy was busy turning the clothes inside out in Jeriel’s room. Jeriel wanted to watch TV, so he decided to go to his room and took some clothes out to the hall. He was busy watching TV and helping to turn the clothes inside out. He also helped to take pails for wet kitchen to put all the clothes to prepare for washing.

Having to stay in apartment, drying space was limited. So, Mummy needed to plan to wash by batches and when clothes semi-dried, then Mummy started to load and wash another load so that it would be on time to be hung and the earlier clothes would be dry. It took Mummy several rounds of washing. All last all the clothes completed washing and dried by yesterday. The only thing left would be the cloth diapers and bed sheets.

All baby clothes now are lying on the bed next to Jeriel’s bed (actually it will be baby’s bed when baby is big enough to move from baby cot to normal bed like Jeriel). Yup, when we bought the mini cupboard and bed for Jeriel, PaPa decided to buy two of each. So, Jeriel’s room, Jeriel knew that soon baby will big enough to sleep in the same room with him. PaPa even modified bookshelves from color boxes and made two- one for Jeriel and one for no2.

Back to clothes, yup, clothes lying on baby’s big bed. Mummy sorted by type long sleeves, short sleeves, shorts, etc.. PaPa would then arrange in the cupboard which Mummy not sure when PaPa would be free. PaPa is very neat and tidy, actually very very, so better let PaPa managed this.

Soo many things to do which is yet to do..This time, time is sooo limited.. PaPa is sooo busy and Mummy is soooo tired. Mummy got a few more things to do…will keep you all update…

although it's tiring, i know you're excited as well! but do take things slowly and dont stressed yourself out.
i'm pretty sure when you were folding the clothes, it reminded you of lil jeriel's first few months.
