until the baby was born! My last week of work was the week of July 4th. A nice short work week to wrap up all the final details. It was miserable! The office air was out the whole week! It was miserable hot! It was record breaking heat that whole week and I was so pregnant and swollen! No fun at all. I do love my receptionist who was smart enough to bring in little fans to get the air flowing some. Hot air but less hot. Heat + Pregnancy = Misery. Simplest math equation EVER!
I think it was worse because I was so hot all the time anyways. My poor husband kept fussing I was freezing him out of the house most evenings. I had gotten so used to being hot all the time that I was definitely not prepared for what happened as soon as my little guy made his debut.
I was COLD! My husband definitely laughed at me when I asked to be covered up with not one but two blankets. Once his amusement at my freezing wore off, he began to get excited about how much lower our electric bill will be if I am not hot all the time. If I hadn't been so exhausted, I think I would have kicked him.
Even more amusing is having to relearn that I do in fact get cold sometimes. I went out to dinner with girlfriends last night (a huge thank you to my husband for watching baby!). I wore jeans and a T-shirt and was good to go. In the past, that outfit would have burned me up and when outside it did. I was sitting in the restaurant though, I got so cold. I haven't done that since December or January maybe. Needless to say, remembering to pack the cardigan will be an important thing for future outings! And, if you read this before you have a baby, take something warm to wear to the hospital!
