Heat and Pregnancy do not mix ....

Okay so here is another moany post. I am sick and tired of all the heat! Who told the world its okay to be so hot whilst I am 35 weeks pregnant exactly? I have been sitting on the sofa most of the afternoon, with a fan directly on my face, only moving to pee or get more water with ice! I am finishing work this week, thank goodness, but I have no idea how I am going to cope 2 days in my hot office trying to concentrate on work when all I shall want to do is strip off and lay on the cool leather sofas we have at home!

We had to put the fan into the bedroom last night too. I just can't sleep well with the heat, so its making it harder to have a few hours sleep (although I shall admit this is going to be good practise for when Bean arrives!).

Another horrible thing about the heat is my desperate urge to nest. This came on last week and each day I've had an overwhelming urge to clean, tidy and organise parts of the house that never really bothered me much before.

Oh and don't even talk to me about cooking, seeing as I'm still cooking all the weekly meals for James and I (although he does help when I'm too tired) when all I really want to do is go out and have somebody else cook for us instead! Its toooooooooooooooooo hot to be standing in a kitchen cooking a meal. Talking of which, its pasta bake tonight and I need to get the pasta on the boil or it wont be ready by the time he comes home from work (he needs to make the most of this as once Bean is here, he'll be doing most of the cooking I'm sure!).

So, in summary, if anybody is planning to conceive, try to avoid being heavily pregnant during the months of July and August, unless you're extremely brave.

I wonder if the neighbours would mind joining me in a little Rain Dance perhaps?
