January babies

I may have a December baby too. It’s hard to sit in the unknown when all you want to do is be prepared and plan.

I suggest a buy nothing group on facebook. If you post something like this on it you may be shocked how many things people are ready to hand down

Definitely try to buy nothing route. Use Facebook Marketplace to search for used items to at least get them cheaper. And make a priority list! You need a car seat for getting baby home, something for baby to wear, diapers and wipes, and then just whatever you need for feeding. Other things might be nice to have but they're not required. If you only have five outfits, that just means you're doing laundry more frequently. If you don't have a lot of bottles, you just make your washing dishes more frequently. But you'll have what you need.
