Got Milk? How About Diapers?

So I needed something to blog about for this week. Tyler and I did go up to Dallas Tuesday night and stayed the night. He had to go for work, so I tagged along for a quick visit with my mom. We went shopping, pedicures and lunch. I also got to see my friend Brittani for a quick visit.

Since Tyler and I have had a little (a lot) more than 9 months to prepare for a baby, we have taken full advantage of the extra time!

I have three diaper bags. The blue and yellow one was given to me, a girl was cleaning out her closet and had never used it. So she gave it to me. The brown and black one I got at the Pottery Barn Kids outlet. This was $15!! I couldn't pass that up. And the red and orange one is a really nice one Ty picked out for me for our anniversary.



I have 28 bottles, bottle caps, and different sized bottle nipples to go with the bottles. I knew someone who had had twins and she was getting rid of all of these bottles! Some of them had never been used, so I got them from her. I will wash them with soap, water and bleach and they should be good to go! I may register for a few more new ones, but I think this will give me a good start.



Lastly...diapers..... We have stocked up on a total of 1,160 diapers. Varing from sizes 1 to 3. I do have 3 small packs of newborn diapers, but I am not buying anymore. Those only go up to 10 lbs and I hear babies outgrow those pretty fast! Also a grand total of 1,000 diaper wipes. It sounds like a lot and is a lot of diapers and wipes to me, but I know this will only last a short while. ;-) Tyler asked me the other day, "we only will have to change the baby's diapers a few times a day, right?" I laughed. I remember changing my niece and nephews diapers just in time for them to poop 10 minutes later and having to put a fresh one on!





I could get a call saying "come pick up a baby now" and I wouldn't panic. In the meantime, we will continue to stock up on diapers Sizes 1-3. I wish we could stock up on formula, but that is a risky move considering we won't know what formula the baby can or can't take. I am hoping to be able to use Costco's brand of Enfamil. It is $25 for two large containers. (Is formula made with gold or what?) At HEB, Walmart and other stores, Enfamil is $20 - $25 for just one container! Our baby will not care if it has name brand formula or not, its all the same and I have even asked Dr's about it. Looking at prices only makes me wish I was a CEO of a formula company, they have got to be making tons of money!
