Career or Baby

I'm 25 years old and getting ready to finish college. My husband is several years older than me and we've been together for 4 years. I know that I'm young, but I've had baby fever for a long time now. I also have a hormonal imbalance that has made me infertile since I was about 19. I haven't worried much about the infertility because I am young and in college and know that I haven't been ready even though my husband is. My question is this: I'm going to finish college soon with a degree in English education. My husband is working on...

Trying to Stick to a Budget

I've created a budget to deal with my husband's and I expeses because with gas prices the way they are, we can't afford to spend money frivilously. The only problem is, I can't seem to get it started. Everytime I try to stick to the budget that month, my husband spends money on things we don't really need and we end up broke again. This wouldn't be such a problem if not for the fact that we have a baby on the way and things are going to get majorly expensive. We really can't afford to spend money with a baby. I've talk to him about this but...

Infant Mortality Rate

OK. For those of you who watch the news. The numbers are in. The US's infant mortality rate is skyrocketing. We're ranked 41st in the developed world for delivering babies safely down from 20 something several years ago. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3032619/#44334394 I personally know several of the millions of women like myself without health care insurance who skimped on prenatal care to save money. Surely this lack of prenatal care on a grand national scale impacts the statistic a bit among other factors contributing to failed...

Best Baby Carrier

I just have about 7 weeks left until our little girl arrives. We're on the countdown. Anyways, I'd really like to have some type of baby carrier by the time she arrives. I didn't really use the one we had with our son because it was so complicated to put on by myself. I have a bad back and neck so I'm looking for something that is going to be easy on me. I don't think I want anything that is a side sling as that would just pull on one side of my neck. What are you ladies using and loving? Is the Moby nice? It looks a little hard to put on...

It's Only Money

Mamas & Papas- So yesterday, I told hubs that looks like we'd have to be getting DS another pair of boots this season, as he is growing out of them. He said- oh well, it's only money. Perhaps, children are God's way of making sure that we enter the kingdom of heaven, the rich man, the camel, etc. Kids consume our discretionary funds and keep us humble. Maybe there's some merit to what he said. What do you think? Kids = money pits? Best, F. B.

Financially we are quite a mess, and at odds as to what to do! So please, any advice would be helpful.
