Once we have jobs, we will have cable, childcare, and savings to consider as well. I am hoping we can tackle our debts without sacrificing our savings. That is my first priority at this point because of our lack of savings in the past. I've learned that it is essential.
You seem to be very young, as a Dave Ramsey fan, I recommend that you save up 1k for an EF, then focus on getting out of debt before further saving. You have plenty of time to build wealth after quickly getting out of debt.
