Help me, I am melting.

Okay, I know it’s a heat wave right now. But doesn’t the universe know that I am pregnant and already 15 degrees hotter than the average person?
At least you would think my husband would!
Apparently he didn’t, when he decided NOT to turn the AC on the other night because we hadn’t had it serviced yet. Seriously… it’s hotter than Haides in our house and I am literally tearing at my skin because I am so crazed by the heat. My kids are refusing to sleep because they are hot. I am complaining about the lack of wind in our new house. And I keep running cold water over all my pressure points in the attempt to cool off.
Nathan decides to take this moment to be flippant about the situation, to which I burst into tears and almost leap across the desk to strangle him.
Let me reiterate:
- I am pregnant
- I am hotter than him
- I have no problem with the AC being turned on
- I don’t care that it has not been serviced
- I would put our children’s college funds towards covering the bill.
- Right now my body is swelling to the size of a hippo, which means…
- every part of my body is touching another part…thus
- every part of my body is itchy and sweaty…
- and being naked doesn’t help to cool me off.
- I am currently disgusting myself
Again, I am pregnant…for the third time… and he is not. Turn on the damn’d AC.
He did. About 1 second later. I think he sensed his impending destruction.

I can’t imagine going through this heat wave while pregnant.
I do NOT envy you. Hang in there!
