I wish I could stay at home with our baby when it is born but I don't think I will be able to mainly because our mortgage wouldn't be paid on one wage. We are lucky enough however to find a friend of ours with her own bub who said that she will look after it.

I guess if you are unsure on how you will fair, book an appointment with your accountant or something and see if you can work out a budget and see how your liabilities fare against your income...

Good luck!

Oooh! I was going to say that if not, you might be able to care for bub during the day and then work some hours at night time or on the weekend.
