So baby stuff!

So I thought since I have been feeling this pressure I would start a mini series about it.

As you know we are expecting baby #4 for us. As you may also remember we were not planning on any more children and are very unprepared for this. We live on a tight monthly budget, as I am sure a lot of people do, so having another baby and needing all the baby stuff again has been very overwhelming.

Well if you are like us and don't have a lot of money and need to prepare for baby. There are so many ways to do this. First write out the list of everything you need and want. Be realistic here though, brands, colour and style doesn't matter when it comes down to it. What I mean really is don't get to set on one thing cause it might not happen. Once you have your list ready. Then just slowly keep eyes out online on used sites, if you know a friend getting rid of stuff see if they want to sell or even give to you. Don't think you need everything at once. You have 9 months to prepare for this.

Now when it comes to some things that you do want to be particular on, give yourself a budget of what you think you can afford towards it and slowly every week put money aside for it. For example for us hubby only wants a new bathtub, and I only want a certain kind of glass baby bottles. The bath tub is not that expensive, so I will just keep eye out for when a store has on sale, as I will with the bottles. The bottles I want are $15 a bottle and I'd like to start with at least 5. I have been putting aside $5 a week towards these bottles, and then when a sale comes up I have the money aside for them, so it will not feel like a financial hit on my budget.

Another thing is to look at is if you a re crafty see what you can make with what you have to save even more money. This little series will also have me showing you some items I have made for baby.

I hope you enjoy this series and follow along as I share.
