I have friends who have kids. They have said that the newborn was expensive. The two biggest expenses that they consistently mentioned were formula and diapers. However, none of them took a second job and they were able to handle their expenses. All of them said they sat down with their spouses and went over their budget. They cut out expenses that they felt they could do without temporarily until some of the expenses associated with newborns kind of stabilized.
HTH and congrats!
