Ya know, there'd probably be a whole lotta guys up for that!
That said, I wish I could give you some ideas, but most of them would involve part-time employment. I've never figured out how to bring in more $$ without getting a side job (and I've almost always had one).

I spent a long time trying to figure out how to pay off the bills...everything took so long...then we sold the house....the market is so good right now-we got all the debt gone. even with another fulltime job, we could never have gotten out that fast.
given, we don't have a house....but all the cars and credit cards are paid off..lol
ETA- pregnant strippers make a fortune I hear...

seriously, from time to time some of the larger wahm businesses are looking for a little help. i know susie little (is it natural home?) is looking for someone to do cold call sales and answer phones. could you find something like that where you could work part time from home?
I always thought house cleaning would be a decent way to make a bit of money. You could set your own schedule, quit doing it if you got bored, and not really have any start up costs. And you'd make way more than minimum wage (if you work for yourself--probably $40-75 or so per house on a weekly basis or $80-100 for one time cleaning, depending on your area, I know that's what it is around here for about 2-6 hours worth of cleaning.). All you have to do is put up some flyers at the library or something, or put in a classified ad, or ask friends and neighbors.
I think tutoring or offering lessons is a good idea too. You could even have something like a playgroup with activities, either in your home or at a local place that will have you. (like mom and toddler time with stories, music, craft, etc). Or teach something like French, piano lessons, cloth diapering, etc. I usually pay around $5-10 per toddler type activity, and I've had cloth diapering classes in my home and I charge approx. $12-$15 for the class. I did one as a set of 3 classes: cloth diapering, sling wearing, and baby food making, and charged like $30 for the set of classes.
Or if you want something regular, maybe after school care. You're not tied up with all day daycare, but it'd be a regular thing.
Anyway just food for thought...

I do housecleaning, charge $20/hr. Works great for me.
Also if you are looking for a one time gig, look into market research in your area, they do focus groups, product testing, things like that. IMO they are fun and usually pay $25-$50/hr. Sessions range from 1-4 hours in my experience. Just call up a market research company and see what they have going on.

If your area is anything like mine, the Mother's Morning Out thing mentioned above is a great idea. My former neighbor used to work 3 mornings a week, and I think she pretty much covered her oldest DD's private school tuition. You could really bust it on the debt that way. (hmmm... this is giving me ideas....)

i'm trying to think of a side job that would make enough money to actually be worth it. of course this might be the wrong time to be thinking about it...seeing that in about 8 weeks i'm going to have a new baby.

Well, I misread the tutoring post where she was talking about playgroup type activities.
What my neighbor did was MWF from 9-1. $20 per kid per day. Lots of neighborhood moms wanted the time to run out and shop, get their hair done, work PT from home, whatever. She never took on more than she could handle - she'd turn people away.
Susan took in 4-5 kids, all walking age to about 3 years old. Let's see - 5 kids x $20 x 3 days = $300 a week for your kids to have play buddies. She had us pack lunch for the kids, and she served it at 12:30, and sent them home ready for a nap. And I used her fine services a couple of days a week to work PT from home. Her daughter was my Dylan's best friend, and he loved going to play.
She did playgroup type activities (singing, painting, playing out back). All the moms were SAHMs and WAHMs, so she didn't have a lot of the problems that full-time daycare providers deal with - like people having to work really late, bad traffic, etc. Most people just stayed in the neighborhood since it was just 4 hours.

I used to have pregnant anxiety dreams about trying to get a job stripping with my post-partum body and schedule. Something about all those pregnant hormones surging through you about now may make you think a bit extreme, kwim?
I just started working a tutoring job at a learning center (grade school reading and math), and its a really good part time gig, fwiw. I work one evening a week, for $50/week. Places like that have a program all lined out already, so its pretty easy yet you still use your brain.
Then again... if you really want to take your clothes off may I recommend a job as an artists' model? I did it for years, including when I was pregnant. Artists looove to draw preggo nudies, lol. Check your areas colleges for that one.
