Azil - I wanted to especially reach out to you because it seems like we are feeling similarly right now. I'm about 7.5 weeks pregnant right now, and just found out I have TWO healthy embryos. I feel like I'm still in shock. I thought I could handle one... my husband and I have a little money saved up, and our combined incomes could have covered things comfortably. But now with TWINS... My husband has ~3 years left of grad school where he only gets a small stipend and works around 80 hours/week (quitting or working less is not an option for him). I am the main breadwinner, but my salary is about equal to sending two infants to daycare, so it seems like I have to quit! I have no family even remotely close by, and have no idea how a family of 4 could possibly get by on my husband's stipend. I AM SO SCARED! We've always been so careful with our money, but this really threw us for a loop...
