Healthcare won't go up for us luckily. Once a kid is added, you become a family plan and no matter how many kids, it's the same price.
Daycare is our big one. Here in Houston, we pay ~$225 per week for one. Don't know if there is a discount for the second or not yet. That's the biggest expense.
Just don't want the rest of the expenses to hit us like a ton of bricks. Hoping most of the big things we are used to with our first and will slowly be transitioning from him to the next (so not doubling up). We do pretty well financially, so like you said, having 1 hasn't really stopped us from being able to do what we want (oh the money I've "wasted" on hobbies). I think this second one is really going to make us have to look at what we're doing more. I used to be that way, but when our incomes got so high that we were saving money even when we weren't paying attention, we lost that dedication. Harder to go back now, but we will get there.
