Last month, we had our baby shower and our family and friends gifted our baby with lots of presents!! Some of those presents, we had to return due to doubles or because we decided they were unnecessary.
Including all the returns, cash presents, and gift cards we received, which totals about $1700… this will go towards our daughter’s RESP fund (tuition fund). Since we didn’t allocate any of our budget towards her RESP, we are incredibly grateful for this generous start!
We’ve allocated $7000 for a baby fund.
…. So far, we’ve spent $96 on prenatal vitamins (we got pregnant right after our wedding so it took a while for my husband’s insurance to process me as a dependent. I personally don’t have insurance).
… $87 on nursing clothing. Half of my mat clothes are considered part of my discretionary expense and the other half I include as part of the baby fund
… $32 worth of expenses on a baby show
… $392 spent on the baby shower
… $1812 spent so far on baby’s things
We still have about $2000 left for upcoming baby stuff. And the rest for her baptism/birthday expenses, which I’m hoping will be enough.
Here is a more detailed update on our list from last month:
