Keeping Cool

Ever wonder what it's like to be big and pregnant when it's really hot and REALLY humid? Let me enlighten you...

• You will eat outrageous amounts of Fudgesicles, and make sure you never run out.
  
• You will completely stop taking hot or even warm showers in favor of those that make you catch your breath and hyperventilate.
• You will purposely go into your office at work (even when you could do most things at home) just to bask in glorious air conditioning.
• You will go to the beach to cool off, despite getting covered in green algae and the beach being closed the next day due to high bacteria count.
• You will also sweat and look overall nasty no matter how hard you try!
• You will become addicted to juicy fruits- cherries, peaches, nectarines and plums, which will lead to spending almost $20 at the farmers market every week.
• You and your husband might eat an entire mud pie in 5 days. (Yes, this sadly happened!)
• You feel no remorse for having your A/C run all night long.
• You might start wearing shorts and flip flops to work because it's too hot to wear anything else (especially since one preschool I go to now has NO A/C!)

Luckily by now, it has cooled down quite a bit, but for a while in July and early August, I thought I was going to die! I hope you all feel inspired to be pregnant during the winter...
