Hi Lori,
I understand your desire to stay home with your baby. I quit my job 3 months after I had my son. He is now almost 3, and I'm still home full-time with him. I do before/after school care for 1 little girl right now. I have also taken care of other babies part-time and full-time. So....in-home childcare is always an option. There is always someone needing/wanting their children cared for in a home environment.
You could stay at your current job for a few more months just to save up money....literally save your paychecks so that you have some reserve.....and to see what it would be like to live off of one income. Whatever your lifestyle is now, it will change once you start staying home. You learn how to adjust. You learn to shop with coupons, staying home you will be saving gas in your car, meal plan instead of buying a bunch of stuff then wasting it, borrow books, music, and movies from the library, only shop garage sales and community baby sales, etc.
Good luck!
