We just found out that a baby boy is on the way and now we can start doing the fun stuff - shopping!
Actually, it's a bit overwhelming. I didn't realize how much stuff a little infant needs, especially after reading blogs and baby books. Plus, there are so many choices out there for car seats, strollers, cribs, clothes, bottles, diapers...my head's spinning already.
I came across this article today narrowing down baby items to the five essentials that a parent only needs. According to the author, parents really only NEED the following:
-car seat
-crib
-stroller
-bouncy seat (more of a maybe)
-baby bottles
Of course, obvious items like diapers and baby clothes weren't included. Unfortunately, the first three items are probably the ones that'll cost the most amount of money, especially if you go for top-of-the-line items. And realistically speaking, who can't resist buying teeny little baby clothes and cute baby room decor, no matter how impractical or expensive they may be? I should've stopped spending money a year ago to save for our expensive little one.
