Best in the worst or worst in the best?

How much should we care about the school system when buying a home while pregnant?

We are looking at going from renters in San Francisco to purchasing our first house in Sonoma County sometime this year. I'm also pregnant with our first child.

How much should we care about the school system at this early stage?

We are planning to buy something cheaper than we can afford (so unAmerican!) but our agreed upon budget looks like it puts us in very low scoring school districts. If you've been in this position before, would you stay thrifty and then move in 5 years to a better school district? Or would you put in more money than you really want (but can handle with some pressure) and get your first home in a better school district?

I realize this is unique to everyone's personal finances but I'd love to hear any stories from those that have had to make this type of decision before.
