Keep in mind...you won't have to buy all of that yourself. That's what registries and baby showers are for! :)
I know, but I don't want to plan on having things bought for me, just in case.
Yeah, that's probably smart of you. Also, I hate to add anything to the list...but have you thought about the cost of adding baby to your health insurance policy?
I have, but I don't know how much it will be. That wasn't really something I was looking at the last time I updated my insurance policy ;)
I'm gonna have to go to HR to get a list of covered expenses any way so I'll probably figure it out then.
Holy moly! I've never seen all those expenses wrote out all at one time! Makes me question having a baby for a looong time! lol
