The further along I get (currently 31.5 weeks) the less I get done.
As I forced myself to stand long enough to fill the dishwasher (braxton-hicks contractions are only painless when compared to real labor) I realized I would be sunk if washing up consisted of more than 5 minutes of standing! Imagine having to wash dishes after every meal because there wouldn't be any to eat off at the next if you didn't!
I am spoiled, lazy (and tired) and very happy I am in this century not the last!
I could never be pregnant in any other century

He did what any sane man would do and went out and bought a generator "just in case!"
Sure enough, we got hit like, three weeks later with another hurricane. This time, we were able to take turns with either running a fan/tv or the fridge. LOL. We would do it in cycles for an hour or so ... I remember saying to my mom "How did people do this before?!!?"
Sorry for the book ... but yes, seriously, I could never ever ever be pregnant without central air ever again. It was insane.

Thanks for the congrats!
And yeah, central AC is very important for summer pregnancies! Though mine were all spring or fall, still. I have given standing orders that my husband is to wear a coat in the car..cause I WILL be putting the AC on!

For much of the coastal northwest, A/C not needed...

However, after my first car which didn't have air conditioning, I consider it a complete necessity! Cars get hot inside and stay hot it seems like. And then if we travel to places like Sacramento... ugh it's way to hot without it.
