Expenses of a newborn

Having our newborn is a wonderful blessing.  Elle can actually sleep up to 5 hours straight at night even she was barely a week old. She’s turning 3 weeks old this week and she’s staying with the same pattern. Having a new baby has expenses to go along with it and so far, we’re doing well. I’m very thankful for the hand me downs from my sister in law. They’ve been so useful. At the same time, we also have most of our stuff from our toddler that we can still use for our new baby. I also thank God that I’m able to breastfeed, considering how expensive formula is. I will continue to breastfeed as much as I’m able to. The only thing that’s proven to be really expensive at this stage are her diapers. This little lady can use up an easy 10-12 diapers a day. That’s about $10 worth of diapers every 3-4 days. It’s a lot, but you know what? It’s all worth it! It’s such a blessing to be able to raise these children that God entrusted us with. =)
