...of Will the Heat of Summer Ever Be Forgiving

Okay, so this is the first summer I've had to endure as a pregnant woman and man is it an experience! I can recall listening to other pregnant women or mothers who've gone through this before...maybe even more than once, and I put my foot in my mouth by thinking, "Is it really that bad?" Yes indeed it is. It seems that no matter how cool the room is where I am, it's not enough. My three older children will hint to me how cold they are and without any sympathy I tell them to put more clothes on or wrap up in a blanket, LOL.

It's funny because Summer is the season I admire the most because of its' warmer weather since I like to wear sandals and sundresses. I also like that the day seems longer since there are more hours of daylight and I usually I don't mind going out, but I have to say that I am not a fan this year; I don't even want to look out of my window!

So to the veteran summer mothers, tell me your best advice for keeping cool...

  2. I carried my son in 1992 he was born in Sept., Even after all this time I recall the record breaking heat and a story in the Washington Post about the high rate of pregnancies in our area and how they beat the heat. One mom had a blow up kiddie pool and was in the backyard with her other kids. I also recommend freezing a bottle of half way then when you get to to get in your car fill up the other half for a cool drink :). Congrats on your pregnancy. :)
