New(ish) RN new baby soon.. how to fit the two?

Hey yall, I am a new grad RN with 3 months step down experience about to move out of state.. and start a family with my husband! We are thrilled but I have some work concerns. It is our first, so I was going to look for a part time 12hr shift position on a floor at the hospital in our new state.. How did you guys who have kids maneuver this? I am worried about the childcare situation. My husband is active duty Navy and I am worried half my paycheck will go to childcare (a caregiver that is a stranger, to boot). However it is too early to take a year or more off to focus on the baby because I am so new and am worried I won't be able to find a job when I get back into nursing (I eventually would like to be a school RN).

Kinda freaking out.. advice??
Is the new baby on the way as we speak, or is there some time?Everyone has their own way of working out the childcare dilemma; there is no one way.Here is what I did. I worked for 2 years full time after graduation, I worked through the pregnancy. Close to my due date, I applied and was accepted for a per diem position on my current unit.Now I could choose my own schedule since my husband carried the benefits.After the baby was born, I worked per diem, part shifts or weekends. Where I work, you can work as little as a 4 hour block once a week when my husband or mom could watch my son.As the kids grew older, I increased my hours but still make my own schedule without having to pay for childcare.
