So, I recently read in a Consumer Reports magazine that basically the powder detergent was just as good as liquid detergent.
Recently I ran out of my liquid detergent (which I switched to a few years ago due to white detergent spots) and since the liquid was more expensive per load, I decided to give the powdered detergent a try again. Well, it's been going well. I think so far I have had one load with white detergent spots and I've probably done between 5-10 loads of laundry with it.

Pregnancy Spending to Date
So, I'm pretty sure that you all know that I am pregnant. I have just over two months to go. So, I thought I'd go through my budget book and add up all the spending so far on the kid for you.
The first thing we bought was for $3 at a garage sale for a nursing pillow.
$1 at a garage sale for a front baby carrier
$20 for a crib from friends that came with the mattress, some blankets, and a girly bedding set we aren't going to use
$274.38 for a jogging stroller/infant car seat combo and $136 for a starter set of 6 cloth diapers, a cloth diaper bag, and a girly outfit that we received a cheque from my husbands parents for.
$7.08 for nail clippers and disposable nursing pads
$13.48 for a pair of neutral cords and 3 boys tops from a consignment store.
$75 for prenatal classes
As gifts from my husbands parents we have also received some towels, blankets, bibs, etc. and my husbands change table and dresser from when he was a kid.
As gifts from my parents we have/will recieve the bedding set, rocker, baby bath tub, various clothes, play pen, etc.
On holidays this year for fun we purchased a towel and a nursery calendar.
So, that is most of our nursery items... I feel like we most of the items we need but that we have spent very little on them.
