Lots to learn

Spent some time at the weekend sorting out teeny tiny babyclothes people have given us to work out which we need now and which we can lend to other people until ours grows up. Also of course, the small problem that we don't yet know the gender of baby fishsoup (maybe I should call it crouton?) and most of them are very much boys clothes.
So, what are the tiny cotton mittens for? And what is the difference between 0-3 months and newborn? And why do we need both? And won't the baby be terribly hot in babygros AND a vest in July? And why do baby clothes say such weird things on them (one of them says "cows are black and white" all over it - who thought that was a great sentiment for a baby?)
Also spent some time trying out the (very hippy) baby sling we have ordered- which comes with an amusing DVD. So my apologies to anyone who walked past our flat on Saturday and wondered why we were trying to fit a Zippy hot waterbottle cover into a baby sling. We were just practising and the cat wouldn't stay still enough.
