okay, so i've been a renter out in the country for a while now, and also childless... well, my husband & i made an offer on a house that's in the city and found out we were going to have a baby in the same week! eep!!
i'm making a budget (particularly for the 12 week leave i will need to take when the baby comes) but i'm not sure what to include... here's what i got so far.
~electricity (not sure how much it will be?? do rates vary a lot within a similar region?)
~cell phone (no land line)
~water & sewer (absolutely NO CLUE! never had to pay before)
~mortgage (PITI, TBD)
~credit card bills ($200/month)
~car insurance (<$75/month)
~OB payments (next 7 months $170/month; hospital bills following)
~doctor copays (?$50/month? 2 visits for a while)
~prescriptions ($40/month)
~diapers ($???)
~groceries ($200)
~gas ($100? it will go down from what it is now, our commute will be about 1/3 of what it is currently)
~garbage ($20/month?)
anything else you can think of? thnx
