It's Hot, Hot, Hot in Seattle and it Makes for One Uncomfortable Pregnant Cori!

We have had and will continue to have for the next week, record heat in Seattle. Not so good when you're packing 20 extra pounds and another human being inside your body. I have had quite a bit of trouble sleeping, even when Matt is all covered up, I'm finding myself sticky and uncomfortable. Today was the start of the really hot weather they were predicting. The temperature reached 95, though I assume the heat index was well over 100. I know that I, as a Chicago girl who grew up in a house with no A/C should be completely used to this but I have become somewhat of a weather wuss in the 3 years I've lived here....oh yeah, and the pregnant me has zero tolerance for heat!

I must say though that I am also extremely fortunate! Matthew and I live next door to two of the most generous people I have ever met. Our neighbors are suffering right along with the rest of Seattle in this heat with no A/C and yet tonight they brought over an air conditioning unit that they had in storage for us to use. It is the nicest thing I could imagine! I know that I will finally be able to sleep tonight (at least between trips to the bathroom) and I won't need to go wander a store aimlessly tomorrow just to get out of the house. I couldn't be more grateful!
