My situation was similar to yours mmiller... My wife and I were married for a little longer than you (6 mos.) when we found out we were pregnant. Mind you, I was 24 and my wife was 22 at the time. So we were young, my wife was finishing her last year of college (she only worked at her job for which she trained and paid a lot of money for 2 months then she quit to raise our daughter) and I was working very sporadically as a substitute teacher... It took the both of us almost half of the pregnancy to get over the shock. We were really, really scared. We didn't know what we were going to do.
Well, tomorrow my daughter turns 1. The last year has been so amazing. There's still been all the stress - we moved two provinces away, I still don't have a steady job, and somehow we secured a mortgage to buy a home - but through it all my wife and I still say every day how blessed we are to have our daughter. She is the love of our lives. Even though having a child at that critical stage in our young lives was life altering, and we did have to sacrifice a lot, we still agree we'd not change one second of the last year.
I'm sure you'll feel the same way as I do when your child is born... at least I hope so.
