Its blazin hot here....

I know, I'm complaining over nothing.  There are parts of the US that have been over 100 for weeks, however, its been really hot here the last few days.  Unfortunately, being in the Pacific Northwest, specifically on an island, you have to deal with this heat without air conditioning. 

Now, I grew up in WNY.  It got hot a few weeks outta the year there.  I dealt with it with fans, popsicles, pools, and any type of water activity to keep cool.  Even though sleeping at night was difficult, I managed to suffer through the hottest room in the house due to the storage area on the side of my room and the attic overhead which were like ovens insulating my room.  I was however, not eight months pregnant at the time.

My own little internal oven has made these past few days very uncomfortable.  We're trying to keep the kids cool, keep them and myself hydrated.  Its working so far.  I however, am swelling up like a water balloon.

Case in point, I took my sandals off the other day.  Yes, my feet were swollen, very swollen-leaving marks on my feet.  Trey observed this and innocently told me that my shoes were too small.  No son, just a super hot super pregnant lady.  

So, the heat coming off of the computer has been too much for me to bear and sit in front of.  I have the computer off during the day   Yesterday was a record day for heat in Seattle.  That's only about an hour and a half from here.  Thankfully, because we are on an island, we do get a little breeze to cool us off.  Today is supposed to be a little cooler and tomorrow more still.  I've been praying for it!!

And for my friends who are suffering in the heat more than I am, my prayers and thoughts are with you-we're all on an Iceburg floating in the ocean with drinks with little umbrellas in them while being fanned.

Sorry to read that the heat is so hard on you. Pretty soon you will cool off, and then you can patiently await contractions! Never have been known for my tact...
