Feel less prepared after baby shower.

KC

We got a lot of stuff for sure. But it seems like we got a lot of the same things. We have tons of clothes but a good chunk (well over half) are 0-3 months. It seems like everyone was buying the same kinds of gifts. Blankets, baby towels and washcloths, soap and lotion (which is totally fine), clothes, and bibs.

We barely got 6-7 small packs of diapers. No bigger sized clothes. There’s still 3-4 bigger things we are going to have to purchase in the next few weeks. Now I’m super stressed because we’re going to be tight on money. I was planning on cutting my hours down to 32 a week until I took my PTO and then started maternity leave. I may not get to do that now since we will need some $75+ items. I seriously feel more overwhelmed and unprepared than before.
