Heat Wave= Frantic Preggo

I feel so disgusting right now. The only place I feel comfortable is in a cold shower and I can only manage that for so long with Julia roaming free around the house.

The weather has been 30+ degrees for days now and will continue on for the next little while. I am sweating gross amounts and barely able to function. There isn't really any breeze for some relief, and outside is just pure hell for me. We have 3 levels in our house- hot, boiling, and hell (where our rooms are). Sleeping has been a nightmare, all I can be grateful for is Julia sleeping through with no problems, even if she does wake up completely drenched in sweat and cranky in the morning.

The one thing I've been looking forward to is the pool at the rec center. That is soo relieving and it sort of pulls the baby off my pelvis from the bouyancy. Sweet relief. I think we'll be making that a daily event from now on.

My appetite seems to be non-existant from the heat, but I am forcing myself to eat 3 meals and drink gallons of water.

What a weird experience. I am usually all for the heat, and don't think I've ever complained about a heat wave before. Being pregnant definitely throws the body off balance. I must be in real momma mode making sure this little one is being protected from the big bad sun.

Now, time for a popsicle. I have to get far, far away from the computer as its radiating unnecessary heat!!

Pray for me, and pray for anyone who sees how scary I look when not being graced by air conditioning!
