I even hang on to the clothes that are too small in case they are requested.

I totally understand that rule and she can have anything she considers "hers" just so she knows I value her and am not just thinking about the next kid. BUT for a first time parent, every kid thing I have was bought "for her", meaning I bought it after she came (except for large furniture). So that means her sheets, those divided kid plates, all kid movies, her art desk, her book shelf, over 100 books (Goodwill is the best bookstore ever!!), sand toys, playdoh sets. Honestly, if I sent everything that I bought with her in mind it'd be every kid thing in the house because I got her before I was even licensed so I went shopping after her. See my dilemma? I don't think it will be an issue in the end because moms pride would never allow her to ask for anything other than clothes and even if I kept 5 "just in case" outfits, she'd still go home with maybe 20-30 (her older sister is in care with an aunt who dumps much appreciated hand me downs which FD loves simply because they were bio big sisters!).

I was JW about NH specifically because a lot of the rules and regulations that you guys talk about on here don't exist in NH.
