If you want to go for the TESL after graduating, I would go for the BA English instead of Humanities. With Shmoop's new offerings, you can do almost the entire degree now through testing out. There is just one course (Non-Western Lit) that is currently hard to find for a good price. With either degree you will need to do the $1500 capstone, but the English degree will look better when you apply for a job with the BA and TESL.
I will be going for the TESL when I am finished also. Had I known in July that Shmoop was going to add all of those English courses, I would not have signed up for Study.com for a year. Now I am locked into the General Management degree because the courses are already paid for. I would much rather have the English degree, not only for when I start looking for teaching jobs, but also because business courses are really lame and boring. The English degree just wasn't an option 6 months ago, especially because I don't have access to CLEP exams. I don't know if you've looked at any job postings for English teachers, but many of them prefer a language degree. I still may go for the English degree once I finish this one, but I'll have to talk my wife into that one thanks to the capstone haha.
Good luck on your journey! And congrats on the baby!!
And I just want to add - You don't need to wait until the new baby is 5 to move! It's a great adventure. We packed up and moved to Latin America with a 5-year-old, 2-year-old and bun in the oven. It actually wasn't difficult at all...well except lugging ~200 suitcases through the airport. :willynilly:
