GAH, it is so hot here aswell, Im melting! I woke up this morning and felt so hot and sticky I nearly passed out, being in early pregnancy and feeling blah anyways AND in this heat sucks!

Caden has mostly been in a nappy and shirt all day or a short sleeve and short legged AIO. He wears just a short sleeve onsie to bed and in his sleep sack cos he kicks his blankets off. I want to get him some little cotton pj's and ditch the sleep sack.

I am over this weather! It was 28 degrees in our house this morning at 7am and the humidity is up around 90% again already!
Sam (who is usually a fantastic sleeper) has been up till after 10pm the last two nights and when she does go to bed she is screaming and crying until she falls asleep. It is so awful! I can't put her to bed any earlier as it has been over 30 degrees in her room at night and that is with the window wide open and a fan going full speed! The bedroom on the other side of the house which is cooler is next door to our neighbours dog who barks and whines all day and night!!! I can't win! Arrrggghhhh!

Or maybe more so, the humidity. I don't know what it's like in the rest of the country but it's sooooo flippin humid here in Aucks. I really feel for the preggie ladies, I remember this time last year too well, at 38 weeks pregnant!

Anyway I think the heat is my baby go a bit nuts He used to be a really good sleeper and would go to sleep quietly by himself, now there's screaming and crying and throwing dummies over the side, and more screaming and crying and looking very upset! It could well be something else, but it just started so suddenly last night. So weird.

How's everyone else doin with the weather? Is it hot everywhere? Anyone else's kids not handling the heat well?
