Following up with my post last night with regards to baby-related expenses, I decided to a rough calculation of how much we have spent so far. This is to give us a good gauge of how it will be should let's say, a second one comes along, insya'Allah. I try to be as detailed as possible to what I can remember. Of course, IF a second one comes along, some of these items can be passed over to the second kid, which makes us save more money - YEAY!
In total, we have spent about $4,679.85 and this sum has yet to include the short hospital stay I had during my 26th week (and maybe my occasional craving episodes hurhur).
Some of these purchases come along with sample packs & freebies, which really helps out in minimizing the expenses to a certain extent.
Eg.
- The Sebamed bubble bath I bought from Qoo10, has sample packs, which I am intending to pack together in my hospital bag.
- The breastpump bundle which I bought from the baby fair has a number of goodies like the cooler bag, nursing cover, ice packs, manual pump adaptor, Hakka breast pump to name a few...
- The goodies from talks/seminars that we attended espesh the one from Breastfeeding talk where we received 4 boxes of breast pads, 4 packs of breast milk storage packs, 2 pillows, 2 bolsters, 4 packs of wet wipes, 2 sets of newborn pajamas inclusive of mittens.
There are items yet to be bought though. Things like milk bottles and diapers - which we intend to buy only after the little one is born. Also, gotta thank my SIL for handing us down some clothes and miscellaneous items - more savings for us. Haha. :)
The list is rather extensive huh. I mean, this is just the beginning. I hope I can control myself with the baby's clothes after its arrival. :/
Till my next update.....which I hope, won't take too long. Hehe.
