I’ve had this post sitting in my drafts for a few days now, and then I read this post by Kacie that was talking about something very similar. So I decided to finish my post and publish it. :-) —– I think most expecting parents (especially ones who are watching their money closely) feel one thing as they prepare for their baby’s arrival: overwhelm at all the paraphernalia that goes along with bringing up a baby.
