I am planning on transferring to another school, but before I can apply I need to get my GPA up. I am taking one lecture class and one online class this Summer. I am pregnant and due early September. I was thinking that I could take 2 or 3 online classes this Fall. That would bring my GPA to where it needs to be. I talked to the school that I want to go to and she told me that they advise you apply a year in advance. So, if I got my GPA up this Fall, I could apply.
My question is... How difficult do you think it would be to take care of a newborn and take 3 online classes? I will have childcare (my parents). I really want to get going with this and I'm thinking this is the only way, without having to wait until the Spring.
Please give me your opinions!

I think it's manageable depending on the courses. I worked full time, took 3 online classes and took care of my 3 year old and got all A's. The classes were 100 level general classes though

Yes you can do it. Just make sure to take advantage of that child care even when you don't want to. It's hard to study when you can't stop telling the baby how much you love them and how cute they are!
I'm still telling my son how cute he is, but now (he's 3) he can tell me to stop kissing him :'(
