Need Advice sorry so Long

Ok so I am getting married in August and me and FH wanted to start TTCing right after but recently I found out my job is relocating in 2006 and I will not have a job and I thought it would be a perfect time to go back to school for a couple of semesters to work on getting a better job in the future. But now this poses the question how would we be able to handle this with a baby? We are both thinking of maybe holding off but I really don't want to I want a baby so bad I mean it is all I think about (besides the wedding)

So the dilemma is I am second thinking going back to school and just getting another job so I can have my bundle of joy. But what about having a job I actully enjoy and not just getting something to make ends meet because I will hate my job for the rest of my life. Uuhhhhh I don't know what to do please help some input please

I'm not sure but you look really young in your picture...I would say go for school. If it doesnt work out or you decide its not for you then TTC, but once you have a baby you can pretty much froget about school. If that happens you might resent the baby.

I guess my concern is the following: without a job do you have adequate benefits and fiances to even have a baby? School or not. I always think that being a bit more settled is important when having a baby. Going to school AND having a baby is possible and many, many women do it everyday (some single mothers!) but remember with a baby comes new costs and without working you will be adding school PLUS baby costs to your husbands income. You will need daycare for your classes and so you can study/do homework. But I don't see a big difference between working full-time or going to school with a baby.
You should take this opportunity to find what you really want to do and take advantage of ANY benefits your moving company might give you
