    Just make sure he gets his "me" time and that won't feel left out. Everything is going to be worth it in the end. Keep a positive attitude. I'm 23, with my 2nd and we're looking for a place now. It's exhausting.

    Ya I hope hubby has some ideas. His first baby so hes nervous to be home with her but im the sole employee n manager so I feel guilty bout a few weeks off...he runs his own company so im bankin on him having her a lot....im kibda jealous but I wanna buy out my boss...ugh too much between career n bein a mom. Ur not alone.

    I'm 21, about to tackle my last year in college, 6 months pregnant with twins (major shocker there), and can't work due to bed rest. My husband (who is 28), makes good money, too, but we live in a 1 bedroom apartment and HAVE to get a bigger vehicle.... oh and he works at night, so when they arrive I'll have them alone a lot except for when at school. Its overwhelming at times, I know! But hang in there- everything will work out perfectly!

    Ohhhh I feel ya girl I am 20 and I have an 8 month old girl.. she has never been to day care so she needs us constantly. I am 5 weeks pregnant now and I am so worried about how things will turn out. Just remember everything happens for a reason. This will only make you stronger and develope more patience (hopefully) haha but look at the bright side you will have another baby to keep your baby busy!

    I'm 23, married, 18wks prego and have a 5 yr old son. I don't work or go to school. Hubby works full time makes just enough for our bills. I could work but I would bearly make enough to cover daycare for both kids so its not worth it. Plus we only have 1 car which he takes to work about 45min away! Its gonna be hard, we'll have to make some adjustments but we'll make it work :)

    @missstanly very exciting! Yay! I'm 19 going on twenty and bd is working pipeline construction, aka the gypsy pipeline because we travel with the work. We are just now getting seriously involved and I am terrified doing this pregnant, but the money is the only way we can manage preparation for our expecting child, I've never been this scared in my life! Different situation but hey maybe it helps you see that you all are getting school under your belts and not forced to wait it out in misery with me, I'm going to be very lonely, husband working extreme labor in ungodly hours, only one day off a week, no family, no familiar friends, far from home and can't do anything about it until we can get an education. What a marriage/family!

    Somewhat similar. 25 stay at home mom with a 16 month old, 22 weeks along with a baby with a heart defect. I'm dealing out also since my son is such a mommas boy. He'll be about 20 months old and I'm in the process of starting potty training. It's a lot to take on, but know that you'll do fine. It's just scary in theory until you get in the swing of things. Just like it was with#1
  • Expectin_myy2ndExpectin_myy2nd

  • serenitysmommyserenitysmommy
    Omg! I feel the same way! I'm in a 1bedroom now and I have time to move but I was just about to go back to school and found out I was pregnant but what's done is done and I just keep telling myself that kids are blessings. P.s God will never put more on you than you can bare :)

    I'm 21 daughter is two in may,I'm due in Oct. I got fired(long story) I'm in college. Failing cause I'm so stressed. My daughter hates me. Bd is an ass. We live in a two bedroom. No room for baby. Nd got fired. Ally savings I'm using for bills n food. That money was first to get another car. I totaled mine. Then I saved my income tax for the baby on the way. I'm down to $700 from $1500 I strictly put away! I'm so stressed and bitchy. I don't feel like doin anything. I am behind in school work and only half semester left to try n pick grades up. So I'm goin through it as always.

    I am 25 with a son who's 4 in may another son who's 2 in july. Possibly a 3rd due in dec or jan. My husband works out of town most time and I do things pretty much alone til weekends get here. I dropped out of school cuz my boys won't let me do homework and I fell way behind. I haven't been able to keep a job cuz my depression is so bad I can't function most days. And we live in. 2 bdrm we hate but can't aford it let alone a bigger one. And we can't pay bills. Life truelly suck and I'm hoping for it to get better some day. Worst part of it all. I wanted t get pregnant. Like that won't make it all worse. Right. Oh well.
