If you add up everything you’re spending on baby just to get started (minus hospital bills), including things like car seat, stroller, crib, etc., what do you suppose you’re spending? I’m a FTM with no one near me with hand-me-downs, but do some bargain shopping and second hand/thrift store finds and I’ve got a spreadsheet going...I’m just in awe of how much things cost and how much I’m spending. I’m able to do it and am so thankful for that, but know it must be so hard on those who can’t!! Wow wow wow.
