thinking ahead....

Is anyone else thinking ahead and started saving up for while off of work for maternity leave we started saving money so that we are not stressed over how we will buy things while I'm off work so that we can just set back and enjoy the time we will have with our new baby and our oldest son (who is only 2 but Bragg's about being a big brother while at daycare lol ) anyone else have kids that close together?

I did save up with my 1st. I work a commission job so no maternity leave. This pregnancy that was the plan, but went on bed rest unexpectedly.

Yes! We started buying baby stuff as soon as we found out we were expecting so we wouldn't have to stress bout getting everything we need at once before our girls arrival. We've also been living off of one income (hubby's of course) to prepare us for the big change when I go onto maternity leave. Instead of 2 incomes for 2 people we are preparing for 1 income for 3. We've been saving my income just in case :) We like to be prepared! Our baby girl with be here in 8 days or less! :)
