Miss M, darlin' it works out.
i fell with my first at 19. - Dh and I had been engaged about a month and a bit. yep it was a shock. but we've now got two bubba boys (my eldest is 2) and we're manageing. is it easy? nope. is it worth it? beyond words. no amount of money would make me change the place we are at now. yes $$ is tight. but we manage.

as for nice things. they come later. DH and I have been given hand me downs, stuff from PIL's friends and our friends. its part of having kids i guess the whole pass it on idea comes into play. at the end of the day its you and your DF's baby. your MIL can take her nose right out of it. yes its under her roof. but if need be you can change that.

I wish you the best of luck and a happy and healthy nine months. if you need to chat to some one you can (i think??) PM me take care.
