Our cousin wants us to move in with her? Need advice?

My husbands cousin, and my best friend since Jr. High, just left her abusive boyfriend. She is moving into a three bedroom house and has asked us to move in with her. She has a 5 year old daughter who I love to death. But we are expecting our first child very very soon (Jan. 20th) and my husband and I would have to share a bedroom with our newborn. I really am not sure about moving in with her because I would like to be able to have my own space. But, at the same time I want her to know that I support her and her decision to leave the crappy man she was with. Also I feel like I kind of owe it to her to at least give it a try because she has helped me out so much throughout my life. She is actually the one who introduced me to my husband (her cousin) and it would save us quit a bit of money. I'm just not sure what to do. Any helpful advice?

    Maybe you could do it for a year or so? It would really help you save up for your own place, at the same time supporting her in her first stretch of being alone. If you decide to go ahead with it, just make it clear to her what your ultimate goals are and that it is only a temporary thing.
