Mid year intake sounds like a good plan. My first baby took a lot of energy but when he reached toddlerhood he would happily entertain himself, my second was the complete opposite and while he was a fantastic baby (you wouldn't even know he was in the house!) he certainly makes me work now he is 20 months!
I did postgrad (off campus) with a toddler, got pregnant and just scraped through the semester due to awful morning sickness. Then I picked it up again with a toddler and newborn (about 4 weeks at start of semester), and that was just do-able (1 subject). Baby grew up, stopped sleeping all day and suddenly it wasn't so do-able. So I stopped
My advice, for what it's worth, is that you want to be very passionate about what you're doing. You'll be studying not just with a newborn, but for a few years after that, plus you'll have your supervision etc. You'll also be making sacrifices in terms of how much you see the kids and you're really going need to fall back on the fact you're passionate about what you're doing.
I feel your pain with having a reasonably useless undergrad psyc degree
