Catching Up

Ok...I've been avoiding this...so many new expenses...now I have to get organized.

I'll just start somewhere...

Babies shouldn't be sleeping with pillows and blankets until they're 12 months old...so to keep Baby Rae warm this fall, I ordered a baby sleep sack!  Here it is:

  • This is not Baby Rae...it's some bald little boy baby.  But this is the sleep sack.  You just zip baby on in there and she's toasty warm at night!  --- $11.49
  • Formula - $11.63...yes, this is still the BPA-laced variety...I'm still at a formula crossroads.
  • More Formula - $15.94 - I have been so disturbed by the BPA-in-the-formula situation, that I've been researching BPA-Free formula companies.  I found one!  Nature's One.  It sounds like a great formula - BPA-free packaging, and its main ingredient is organic brown rice syrup - not sucrose (sugar), like regular commercial formulas.  It costs about the same as Similac.  We can swing that.  Anyway, I ordered a can to see if Baby Rae loves it. 
  • Baby wipes - $10.33
  • Bottled Water - $2.14
  • Clothing - $2.14
  • Bottles - $11.79 - We switched to glass bottles.  No risk of evil contaminants. 
  • Pacifiers - $3.61 - We had pacifiers given to us as a gift...but I don't remember if the packaging said they were BPA-free or not.  So we bought some that are for sure.
  • Bed rail - $4.27 - needed one more of these
  • Diapers - $5.34
  • Food - $3.20
Total: $81.88

Glad to get that out of the way.
