I just dont know how we're going to do it...I mean, i know you make it work however you have to.
We have a huge mortgage and my DH's salary wont even cover that..not to mention all our other bills..
I know i'll have to go back to work after the baby is born, but while i'm at work, i dont know where the baby would be..I'm sure my parents would watch them, but i cant rely on that every day, i know its a lot of work, and my parents are just getting older..

I just would like to know how you all did this if you need both incomes...thank you!

It's actually quite good that you are thinking about this now. I would sit down and talk about it seriously with your husband. If you both put your heads together and do the numbers, I'm sure you will be able to come to a good solution.

yea, we should have thought everything out like you are BEFORE we got preg!!!

i dont know how we're going to do it, but we'll manage. its amazing how things always work out.

i was working part time and am now not working at all. DH's salary just covers our bills but we still struggle.

good thing is once the baby comes, my mom will watch him full time so i can go back to work

I am going to back to work and we are hiring a nanny or putting the baby in daycare.

My mom has always been a stay at home mom - and after years of this, she is bored now - she cant wait to sit for our daughter. she will watch her full time and I will go back to work.
