Come On Baby, Light My Fire

"It's so hot in here!"
"Is it hot in here or is it me?"
"Can you please open the window, I need air."
Words I echo repeatedly.

All winter we kept the windows open in our apartment, and I'm not talking a crack.
"Are the windows open?" I'd ask Hubby.
"YES! They've been open for the past three months now pass the down comforter. It's chilly in here"
"How can you be cold?"
"Gee, I don't know maybe cause it's winter."

I realize during pregnancy a woman's body is changing and hormones are raging but do I really need to wake up in the middle of the night perspiring?
"Why is my pillow soaking wet?
I normally can't sleep without something covering me. Even in the summer, I need a light cotton blanket over me. I was too lazy to put away the down comforter and take out something lighter, plus I thought it would be cruel to hubby to only have a paper towel covering us. So I sleep with half my body uncovered.....one arm, one leg, etc. and every so often I turn so the other side is cool.
How do pregnant women survive in the summer? I think I'd go up in flames.

At times I just want to rip all my clothes off and jump into a tub of ice cubes.

  1. In about 30 years you'll have hot flashes for other reasons.

  3. I think it gets better in the third trimester. At least you're not pregnant in the summer.
