Hey, girls, are we in for a miserable summer?

[RiceMomma]

Due in August??? I've always said I would never want to have a baby in August- I was hot enough with my first in May. This going to be a miserable summer. What measures are you all planning to take to stay cool and comfortable?

[rainbowmoon]

well personally I can't wait. I love being big and I love the heat!

the swelling on the otherhand I can do without :LOL

I vowed after my having my dd that I would never be big and pregnant during the summer again. Never say never. LOL I was so torned if I should stop ttc or not. Here in Texas our summer lasts forever. I just went with it and here I am pregnant and expected to deliver in August. LOL

Not much. Lightweight clothes, lots of time in the pool or the A/C, and a pony tail holder everywhere I turn...

Both my girls are February babies though, and I have a feeling I may have to revise my plans..

DD was born August 17th so I am used to the summer. I thought it was great. Cute tanks and shorts, flip-flops, an excuse to turn down the AC, and swimming. I loved it.

[RiceMomma]

Aw, yes. The swimming pool. I have the feeling we will be there a ton this summer, too. My kids love to water and could stay there all day. That should keep us all happy, hopefully.

This is 2 summers in a row I'll be hugely preg. With AC and a pool...I'll be ok

I've had one summer baby and one winter baby. I didn't prefer one over the other. Course, I'm in Montana and even summer isn't 'super' hot here. We'll just be getting hot end of July, so I should be pretty 'safe'. We don't even have air conditioning units in most homes because it just doesn't get that hot for more than a few weeks. I may feel differently next summer. I'm planning on 'maybe' getting a unit for our bedroom if it looks like I'm going to be too hot. That's the only time that it really annoys me, is when I cannot sleep because I'm too hot.

We also have a full basement which is where my office, family room, school area, laundry room are. We spend probably 50% of our inside time down there anyway!

I'm personally looking forward to having a huge belly in the summer...sunning my belly with one of those two piece bathing suits with the fabric that loosely hangs over the belly.

Also don't mind a LEO baby like me

and....I teach and have the summer "off" so it's perfect to rest up when I'm nice and big!!!

My first was born in August in Georgia. I was not happy that she was "late"

However, we've moving to the tropics, where it's just freaking hot year round, so having another August baby really won't make any difference to me.

I hadn't given this one ounce of thought until this thread... DS was born in December, so I didn't have to worry much.

Guess I can hope for a mild summer at this point, and be glad that it doesn't get too hot here (90 is REALLY hot here), and we have a window a/c we can pop in if there's a heat wave.
