heat of the summer

so...this is the first time i've been very pregnant in the summer. and i'm in humidity. i've learned this is not really 'the south' here in louisville. but we've got the humidity like it. it's been hot and humid for weeks.

if you are 7 months pregnant, in the hot and humid how do you survive?

-take COLD showers. it will be a matter of minutes before you're hot again.
-don't even bother with make up. before you can have it on completely you will have sweat it off.
-don't dry your hair. steal some of your husband's gel and scrunch it. put a homemade headband on to keep all the hair off your face and neck.
-when you're outside in the afternoon playing with the kids and they get popciles, eat one with them.
-and when you can't take it anymore, come into your cool house, and sit for a while.

today we have the windows open for the first time in weeks. i was sitting on our love seat this morning, and a cool breeze came and rushed around me. i took a deep breath and didn't feel like i was inhaling liquid. i don't know that i've ever been so thankful for cool, crisp air.
