giving away stuff doesn't really make anything final. you can always buy stuff. as somebody said, start with the bulky items first. i got rid of the tub, car seat, i sold the beaten up/dirty stroller.. eventually had another baby and very much enjoyed buying her new stuff. i never missed the dirty stroller or the old tub.
i don't know your circumstances and i am not saying you should hold on the hope but regardless of whether you keep the hope or not, you don't need to turn into a hoarder. even if you had five kids, eventually you would need to get rid off the baby stuff.
