Q: Grrr, Who Started the Summer?

So everyone in England can tell you, that, so far we have had a crappy summer, and to be honest being heavily pregnant, I havent really minded.

So it gets to my due date on the 3rd August and someone hits us with a sodding heat wave!!!!! I am sitting here like a sweaty beached whale unable to cool down and feeling alittle stressed!!! Evil or Very Mad

I have had 3 baths today which made no difference, my fans blowing out hot air and my ankles are suddenly the size of an elephants!! To make it a whole lot worse, the boys are on summer hols from school and want to spend thier days going to the beach and the park. Meaning I have to sit out in the sun with them (although Chris does take them alot)

AAAAAAAAArgh!! ok thats better. I guess I really needed to vent. I am beginning to feel really glad this is my last pregnancy I dont think I could do this again!

ugh... i'm sorry, jolie!

a heatwave came through here too. it was 105* on friday, with the humidity it was horrid. my sister-in-law is due on friday so i kind of took a little joy in knowing how miserable she must be.

i had to go out on friday or else i would have stayed home with the air conditioning! it was so hot that the a/c in the car was barely doing anything and by the time we got to our destination finn was drenched in sweat and lethargic. i felt so bad for him! he perked right back up once we got inside with the a/c.

not much longer for you! hang in there! sleep in the tub!

I'm feeling much more hotter than usual. We have all the fans on and I'm still sweating. I just wish I had a bump to show off
