Wow! This is amazing…you are meticulous in your documenting of this part of your life journey. I like it but don’t think I have the time or discipline to duplicate such a thing. We have two kids, and as cute as they are, the cuteness comes at a price. Although I wouldn’t change it for the world, I can’t help but sometimes think how much closer to retirement I would be without kids. haha

Thanks for sharing…your son is very cute! Best wishes. AFFJ

This is a great idea, I really enjoyed reading this post and seeing you document your expenses. I wish I had done the same for us, between Emergency room visits for ear infections in the middle of the night and daycare costs I’m well into two years of college tuition.

Oh boy, haha… At least your eldest can help out around the house and with baby #2! Ours just pokes him and then runs away and starts playing haha… They sure are adorable though :)

I am enjoying this tally! My 2nd was born in July 2012, so I feel your pain.

(And the first one was 6 years old and we’d gotten rid of EVERYTHING in between).

In reply to Lorre Hopkins. Agreed! You can spend a LOT less if you want to/have to. As our nurse once told me - all they need is love :)

And to those that look at these numbers and change their mind about having kids just remember that babies can be raised just as happy on garage sales and thrift store hand me downs.

In reply to Jack. I'm sure it will, but I'd lose more and more sanity too ;)
