I would go for the second job at least right now, just in case. Put as much of your money away as you can. The sooner you get used to not spending your money on yourself, the better.

Plus, there are a lot of things that can't really be planned for that are expensive.

If you don't have health insurance, get it now.

ETA: If you're not used to clipping coupons, start now. There are a lot of things you can save money on in the mean time that get you ready for clipping for NECESSARY items, like diapers and wipes. Read the ads that the grocery store sends you. I don't have a child but I save a TON of money every week for groceries by planning a list by where the items I need are less expensive and sometimes I'll do 2-3 different stores in a week. Of course, I have 3 grocery stores plus Target within a half mile of my house. If you have to drive a decent distance between them you're not really saving any money because of the gas you're using.
