This heat!

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?

(insert sweating smiley here )

Yeah Chch is starting to feel like Brisbane mid summer! Feel so bad for our girls at night. It's odd I don't want to cover them up at night because of the heat but I'm scared that without blankets they won't sleep at all!?!?!
But I have to admit I love taking them into the back yard when it's sooo warm in the morning and sitting them under the shade of this MASSIVE tree with their nappys off. They love the freedom.

I could do without it quite frankly. I was so happy when it started raining, but 5 mins later and the sun is out again. Is nice to get out in the garden with Spencer though, although sometimes it's too hot to be out there I have to be indoors with the air con on...lol
So far he is sleeping fine with the hotter weather, thankfully his room gets morning sun so doesn't get too hot.

90% humidity Wow!

We've been in Harry's little paddling pool a lot, it's refreshing even just putting my feet in it lol, and splashing each other with water. I must admit, it is lovely to be able to play outside in the shade.

Also I've been taking a cold wet cloth in at night when they wake up and wetting their hair so they can cool down a bit they really love it!

pomikiwi, a foot spa or bucket with cold water and icecubes (in the water) is absolute bliss when you're pregnant in this kind of weather.

Danaj, you totally do have to get one! I had a small plastic tub, cheapo from The Warehouse, and it worked brillantly. I had feet like yours! I'd soak them, then elevate them with cold flannels on them, and then get DH or my mum to massage them

Im so jealous of your hot weather! Was in Oamaru for xmas and had lovely hot weather but now that I am back home - has done nothing but rained and windy. We are in jeans and long tops . Its very unusual for this time of year - normally its very dry and over 30 degrees. I want my summer!

I am pretty sure I saw foot spas on sale at Harvey Norman or Briscoes will be having a sale on them no doubt!

Oh Danaj poor you, you should get those flippers in some cold water

Can confirm, foot spa with cold water & ice = awesome Tried it just with cold water first but the water warmed up too quickly from my hot feet lol so needed the ice! Has cooled me down heaps! Now just need dh to get home so he can give me a foot massage with the cooling foot stuff his mum gave me today
