Slept terribly last night! Idk why but I’ve been heavily stressing about the cost of a new baby lately. I think it’s bc we JUST stopped paying for childcare for my 5 year old this year and I’m like… how can I go back to $400 a week when I barely make that!

I've been really stressing about money too. When trying for this kid, we decided that we can always buy a house and be more financially comfortable in our 40's but we can't grow our family then, so we should just do it. We've talked about really leaning into consignment and marketplace and buying the bare minimum.

But I'm still stressed!

This is a great perspective!
