I plan to exercise more and we already kind of split the chores up so that won't be hard either. We're still working out daycare but more than likely, I'll be dropping him off and picking him up since I usually get off work before DH.

1. Is this your 1st, 2nd, 3rd....child? This is our first
2. What do you do for a living? Teacher
3. What does DH (or significant other) do for a living? Teacher
4. Do you plan to continue working after LO arrives? Yes, not really because I have to, but because I want to. Luckily I'll be able to take off from when baby arrives to the following school year (6-7 months). We both really like having the extra income because it allows us to do things we probably wouldn't be able to if I became a SAHM, and I'll probably want some adult interaction once the baby is a little older.
5. Do you consider yourself lower, middle, or upper class (in terms of income, not style
)? Middle ... would be on the line of Middle/Upper class if I didn't have all these student loans!! Grrr!!
6. How will your lifestyle and finances change once LO arrives? (chores, exeercise, daycare, etc.) Everyone's lifestyle changes once a baby comes into the picture, unless you're Angelina Jolie or something like that. You can't just "pick up and go" anymore. Things need to be a little bit more planned and can't be so spontaneous.
As for finance changes, I think we'll be a little bit more frugal with what we're spending our money on. We're already pretty much set in that department, but we also want to start a college fund for LO, so a nice chunk of our income will go to that.
Chores will most likely be my job when I'm home with the baby, but I have no doubt that the hubby will chip in. He has been so unbelievable these past few months!! Exercise is a must for me once LO is born!! My husband has continued with his routine, but I've basically stopped. I've always been an athlete, so getting back into shape after baby comes isn't a concern of mine. Daycare isn't going to be an issue here either. I'd much rather keep my child out of daycare because #1 - it's expensive and #2 - I don't think I'd trust a stranger with my child. Luckily my MIL will be moving closer to watch the baby during the day so we're both able to continue working.

5. Middle, I suppose I don't really know the cut off point. Although it sure doesn't feel like we're in middle......
6. Honestly it didn't THAT much after having dd. I bfed for over a year so we didn't have to buy formula, didn't need to do daycare. The biggest expense for us is clothes, there are just too many cute clothes for girls. lol. Lifestyle didn't change much day to day. But we def. don't go out as much as we used to, which is a little sad.
