Will you be in a walkable area?  Are you close to a park or rec center?  There is a YMCA in Reston and they have resources for parents with children.  It could be a place to exercise and meet other moms.  There could be infant programs there or a Gymboree class.  I met a nice group of new moms through Gymboree and we got together pretty frequently.  The public library may have programs also.  Any kind of outing will help.  Being able to go to things like this (that are relatively cheap) and just walk to get coffee or lunch with other moms makes a huge difference.  You're going to want to do this no matter how many bedrooms are in your apartment.

I think you'll be fine.  My husband and I have never made the kind of money that people on this forum talk about.  We have a son and we did fine and enjoyed him a lot as he grew up.  You don't need two bedrooms!  Our son didn't want to stay in his own bedroom anyway when he was young!  It was a bit crazy, but we never felt like we had to keep up with anybody as far as our house was concerned.

You have already shown that you know how to manage your money.  You are making good decisions. [/quote]
