Pregnancy is Expensive

This is one of those things I wish I had fully understood before getting pregnant--pregnancy is expensive!! I'm not even counting the costs of anything for baby yet.
  • Prenatal care & labs
  • Announcement cards
  • Increased food intake
  • Pickiness of food
  • Ultrasound 
  • Maternity clothes
  • Birthing classes
It all adds up! Since we're planning for a home birth, it all comes directly out of our account, no insurance help (we were able to get a reimbursement from our FSA for bloodwork). It makes me very thankful we are at our current state financially and that we planned for this, otherwise it would be tough to swallow. Now I just need to figure out how to work Baby Boy into our budget...because I've already started buying some things!
