We're not there yet (talking about an event)
Could you say "We're not there yet" in this context?
Wife:We need to set money aside for the baby.
Husband: We're not there yet. You're not even pregnant.
Thank you

Dear alc24, It'snot impossible. But there are definitly better choises which can be given by a native speaker. Regards Iman

If the couple's situation allows them to save all of the money they will need in the 9 months of pregnancy then the response by the husband is just as effective without the "We're not there yet."
If the couple have previously discussed a sum of money that they need for baby expenses, the conversation could go something like this.
Wife: "How are we doing on the baby's savings?"
