First time mom in Tuscaloosa

amtrevathan

Hello,

I am newly married (1.5 years) and we are expecting our first baby in October. I am a first time mother so this is all pretty new and a little scary. I work for UA as a Program Assistant (office secretary more or less) and my husband works at Best Buy and attends UA. We are making enough to get by and with a baby we are worried that we might not be able to make ends meet. Anyone have any advice on what to do? Any great place that offers good baby items for a decent price? I've already looked into places like the Thrift Store but I was wondering if there was another place I'm not aware of.

Also when the baby comes we will need to place him/her in daycare. Any thoughts on a good, affordable one? My husband still has 2 more years of school left and we agreed that baby and school go hand in hand with the important things so we are trying work it out.

Any advice on anything I didn't cover would be helpful, too.

 Thanks!
