It is ridiculous how much stuff costs these days! Even a drive costs money for gas...
In the warmer times of the month we liked to go up in the hills and walk. I have a hard time doing this at times but it is good thing to do (of course now they started building where we would walk).
We rent movies on Pay per view $3.99 a pop ($1.99 for some of them on special or older movies), do not need to drive them to town to hand them in. Music is big around our house and we can be caught sitting and talking with our vinyl records out or CD's..
Oh the library has some great movies for free! All you need is a library card, CD's, audio books too! Library's are great! And good for baby when baby comes :0) Ours has big time movies every weekend or so, free. Usually kids movies (Harry Potter and others).
We used to take drives, but to spendy. Going for a coffee at the coffee house, but if you are trying to conceive, you could drink something else? The parks are nice on warm days. We have many different critters who we spend time with too. Board games and cards are always fun!
The info commercials on the old time music we can watch these for a long time, then we tell of where we were when we first herd the song lol! Sounds dorky but we have fun doing this lol!
Mr. likes to spend time with our boys playing there game systems, or watching them play there games.
We live in a small town and stay home a lot. We like it and find things to do. Our family is also around each other pretty much all the time we are not at work or school....The computer is a big part of our world and we share things we find or like here in answers I will share with the Mr. what is going on (he is not one to get on the computer though).
Good luck and when the baby comes you will already be happy at home, or doing things that doesn't take a arm and a leg to do (money wise).

You can listen to music and get romantic, dance together at home, you can even play games together like strip poker. You can do lap dance to your husband, and he can do the same for you. You can get cozy and relax together while watching something that you like on tv. You can go out and take a long walk together and then stop for a cup of coffee some place, then back home like two love birds and get warm from the cold outside ( unless you live in the south where it's warm, then you could have a lemonade sitting on the porch like in the old time! You could invite a member of your family to play cards or a couple to play charades or monopoly, etc... etc... etc...
Let your imagination work out. I'm certain you will find something interesting to do.
Good luck in your project!

A good thing is to do it take a library membership. You can rent dvd's, they often have a kid's librabry session once a week as well. Another idea is to build a fake cubby house with blankets and chairs and have a tea party with teddy's. Or you could make some playdough from scratch.

Try taking surveys for cash. Ive gotten a couple of extra bucks for doing it. Seems like a waste of time for doing it but in the long run it works. Try selling your car and get something cheeper and more reliableand using the extra cash from it. Also try babysitting. Works for me as well.

Depend where you live! I'm from Sydney AUs and I'm a poor poor student. Picnics are fun, going to the beach, some art galleries and museums dont have entry fees, window shopping is good....
