Hi, I am new to this website and this group. I am 30 years old and pregnant with twin girls. We were shocked at first (no precedent of twins in either family), but now we couldn't possibly be more excited and I can't imagine being without either of them, but sometimes the stress creeps up on me about finances. My husband has been out of work for over 3 years, and I am a teacher so my income supports the house. Right now we are thinking he will be a stay at home dad when the girls arrive around June-July, the timing for me is good but I have to go back in September. For the last 3 years I've been working another part time job that brought in about 12k a year, but had to quit once I was 5 months along with the twins. It was definitely time for me to stop, but we struggle with paying the bills each month already- have debt to pay off and try to live very frugally but something always seems to creep up. If it was so hard before losing 12k and before 2 new babies, I worry about how things will go in the future. I really try to just rest assured and lean on my faith that things will work out, but it's tough when we fight about money and not seeing thigns eye to eye. I don't really know what I'm "asking" here, I guess I'm just venting, but for anyone who has multiples already, any words or advice? |
