A little update for what is going on over here. I found out I was pregnant with baby number two in November. Then of course, shortly (or 3 months) later found out that it's a boy. I was 100% convinced that we were going to have another girl. So now I am here freaking out because the thought of having two kids is crazy to me! I am so used to Ava and her crazy (that's another post) girl ways, that I feel that I have no idea what to do with a boy. But I know there isn't anything given to me that I can't handle and its just a phase. But the whole second time mom thing, where you realize you don't really care as much as the first one.....is sooo true. I think I have maybe a handful of pregnancy pictures and have written in my journal maybe three times. When I was pregnant with Ava, I was all over that stuff and documenting. These days, I am just trying to get through the day. I thought I had it bad before but add on being 8 months pregnant and the whole energy drain, along with Ava and a household, is just something I was not prepared for.
About a month ago, me and Luis realized that in order to really make our goals happen for the coming years and get out of our 2 bedroom apartment, with horrible lighting in the kitchen, was to drastically cut our expenses and really save. So the really logic conclusion we could think of was to give up our apartment and move back into my moms house. This of course, is to be only be for like 3 months, but the baby is coming soon and there may be a chance we have to stick out a little bit longer. We are able to now pay off any remaining credit card debt, have money in savings and put everything towards the down payment for a house. So the goal for me that I want to place myself at is to be able to have a home of our own before the end of the year. Luis also was able to get a second job at a local bar that we love and that has greatly helped us with extra money. So far we have been here at my moms, all three of us living in one room, for about 2 months now. Our credit debt has been cut in half and we are on our way. I wish I was able to get a second job but being 8 months pregnant and having no energy to do anything after 6pm, really puts a damper on all that. So I have started a journey to working at home. My goal is to be able to bring in at least $500 extra a month and go from there. I will keep everyone updated with reviews and updates to working from home possibilities and how we have been able to really save towards our goal.
