Sizzle

Yesterday was the first 100 degree day here in the Valley. The first 100+ day is always the hardest. It comes out of nowhere and hits you like a tons of bricks. Eventually you get used to the blazing weather and 100 degrees is a welcome in mid-July when temperatures usually hover around 115.

The heat is only adding to my discomfort. I am getting bigger by the day. And when I say “bigger” I mean *bigger*. It’s kind of scary. People ask me if I am about to go into labor. I don’t think Cayden is enjoying the heat to much either. I have the distinct feeling that he is also uncomfortable. I keep joking that all I need to do is add potatoes and carrots and make a nice stew out of him!

I just hope these next 5-7 weeks pass by quickly. Luckily for me, Jay’s pool is almost 80 degrees; perfect swimming water. I can’t wait to start taking afternoon dips to cool off and get some help carrying this baby around.

The air conditioning is in full use again. I am not looking forward to our electricity bill. We never stopped using the ceiling fan because I am a naturally hot person and it’s never really that cool here in Arizona. But now we are using the ceiling fan, air conditioning and another fan and it’s *still* hot for me.

I thank Chad in advance for putting up with my complaining over the next few weeks. It will get hotter by the day; I will continue to get bigger by the day and that is a horrible combination. I’m just thankful that all the discomfort and uncontrollable sweating is all for something totally worth it…Cayden.
