Yeah we didn't get much except clothes :(

I'm getting $9000 for both... at least we spent some of that 2 years ago... but ouch :lol: And that's with $20 a month for clothes and $20 for toys... although I think we're way under that... It's hard to estimate sometimes.

WOW!!! Even with all the stuff we were given, and the fact that I make my own baby food, and buy second hand when I can, I still got a total of 5076 for their first year!!!

Yikes! Mine was just under $11,000! :eek: A majority of that goes to daycare though since I went back to work when they were 6 months. That is $1400/month!

Not for anything but $72 per month on diapers is completely wrong. I spend $40 a month for 2 kids!!!

Depends on each kid. Some babies need to be changed more often because they really get fussy when they are wet. My youngest sister is that way. She's cries after every pee. And some babies dont mind waiting to be changed. Then there are the sensitive babies, like Madilyn, who gets diaper rash very often because every time they pee it really irritates their skin.
