IT'S HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and other pregnant ramblings...

insert pitiful whimpers here.

We really did not plan/or think it through when it came to this pregnancy other than making the decision to try.  I didn't even think to consider what the weather would be like throughout the pregnancy...which in the end I don't think it would have honestly affected our decision to try but still....

I'm not due til Aug 3.....AUG 3 ?!?! argh....so so hot....and I know what you're thinking-it's hot everywhere in the summer so it really wouldn't matter where you live-well, you haven't been in Houston in July then.  Oh, and I know everyone thinks: I've been in humidity before-it's not THAT bad etc.  But let's just say our family from Georgia (another part of the humid south) came here and THEY couldn't believe how bad it was here and couldn't wait to get out of the humid heat and that was only the beginning of June so NAH!....what, it's a word...

The sad part is that it's still only June-we still have July and August-which is the worst part of our summer, that's right we're not even to the hottest part yet.  We're supposed to get up to triple digits this next week-yeah...try triple digits plus 90% humidity!

I got excited cause I thought we were going to get a tropical storm coming our way but of course it swings towards Florida-those jerks...

Seriously, the only good thing about this time of year in Houston is the possibility of hurricanes/tropical storms-no, seriously I don't mean to make light of something that could be potentially deadly but if it's gonna cool things off a bit I'm willing to take that chance-we live far enough in to where the worst we'd be dealing with is no power etc plus we're in an apartment and have renters' insurance so it's not nearly as stressful than if we had a house.

oh man....but I love those crazy tropical downpours we get sometimes-seriously, the kind where it doesn't matter if your windshield wipers are going as fast as they can, you still have to crawl in order to see anything in front of you.

It also doesn't help that my back is aching more and more due to the increased strain as our lil man grows bigger and bigger so I'm cranking up the AC while sitting with a heating pad in the middle of a Texas heat wave.  I really hope we didn't get the random big/tall freak gene from the Richards' side....(no offense tall Richards) that would be sooo ironic...our kids grow up to be these giants that tower over their shrimpy parents...

I mean even if I was my normal size and not dealing with pregnancy-I'd still be energy-less....at least until 8ish pm....cause than you can go for an ok walk where you'll only sweat a little but not be dripping...

In other news, we went to our first prenatal class the other day.  It was on breast feeding which we knew we needed to go to but both were sort of dreading it- I just worried it would be completely awkward and Code was worried he'd be the only guy there.  Both of us were wrong tho-he was not the only guy and it wasn't as awkward as I thought it would be.  Good basic information and even tho there were dolls that were really creepy with these wide-open gaping mouths... they were only to pratice holding them in different positions etc.  Tomorrow we have our birthing class where I'm sure we'll go over breathing excercises and possibly watch your typical birthding video-code is not looking forward to that part, and I figure unnecessary for him since he's up by my head the whole time anyways (we both want it that way). But it's all good info and better to be on the more prepared side so we at least generally know what to expect right?

 I'm playing around with a few ideas to decorate our nursery-at least, as much as we can living in an apartment.  And soon we're going to do a photo shoot of us and the bump and will have a newborn photo shoot after the birth that I'm really excited for so there's a chance for pics in the future :) I'm so glad we're surrounded by talented people in our ward!

Off to continue to do nothing :)
