Hooked on apartment hunting..

With the pregnancy comes concerns about where we're living and moving out. I thought briefly about renting a house, but it would be too much of a hassle and cost for very little benefit. Buying a house is just not something we can do at this point and if we tried it would be a seriously dilapidated run down shack. I was thinking that apartments here were too expensive for what we want, but that may not be the case. I found this nice place about 4 miles from where I work for over $120 less a month than we were paying in MA and it's a townhouse. It's about 1180 square feet, 1.5 baths, with both bedrooms upstairs across from each other. It's really everything we could possibly need for a while. Getting excited about just looking for apartments is all I can do right now. We need to pay debts off before we worry about moving anywhere. Deb is still pretty sick. She has been this way for most of the time except a couple of days. We have a doctor's appointment on the 28th to make sure she really is pregnant. I don't doubt that she is, but I'm starting to think it's all a really bad cycle. Because Deb is pregnant she is sick, because she is sick she can't work, and because she can't work we may not having enough money to move out of this house. So where do we end up? Stuck in a house that doesn't have enough space for the people living in it now, let alone another human being. It's really depressing to me. That's why I grasp onto the idea of an apartment so tightly. I just want the best for us. This isn't the best for anyone. Until tomorrow.. --------
