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?

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. :D

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.
