As for now, it seems that neither yourself nor your husband has any employment?
I think that situation will surely change for the better before too long. Certainly before your ILR application is due to be made.
It doesn't matter which one of you is either the main or the sole earner.
The UKBA state that a spouse should not be refused ILR solely on lack of finance alone.
As it stands you seem able to support yourselves without claiming Public Funds that you are not entitled too, and this is the important issue.
As long as you are not making claims that you are not entitled to then there will not be a problem, so please do not be tempted to go down that road.
Please do not worry so much at this time. I do understand just how anxious you are and just how stressfull the situation can become. With 3 children, of course it's going to be tough that both of you will be able to work.
Which one of you is best placed to secure a job, either full time or part time?
Are you saying that you are managing to live without employment?
Is there any support from friends or family etc?
Time is on your side right now so please try to be calm
