Yep you're on the right track. Get a part time job and show his job prospects when you apply for a fiance visa. Maybe he can work while he's away and gather up some savings?

As you may have already seen elsewhere in the forum, you will need to show that you have a minimum of £102.95 + £60 for the baby remaining weekly to support the 3 of you. This is after rent, council tax and any loan/credit repayments have been made.
You'll have to show evidence that the relationship is genuine (visits, contact during the relationship etc) and that you have adequate accommodation with a letter from the Council as landlords that your husband can live in the property.
After November of this year your husband will have to pass an approved English test in Morocco before the visa is granted. This is in addition to the Life in the UK test he will need to pass before applying for permanent residency (currently after 2 years and known as ILR).
You must both be over the age of 21 at the time of application.
