Aug. 26th, 2006 02:55 amOur air conditioner is broken. To give some perspective, I have probably spent 30 or so nights in my entire life without AC blasting. That's 3 weeks of summer camp and a few hurricane power outages. Our bedroom is supposed to be 74 degrees or less AT ALL TIMES. The thermostat now reads 82, and that is with every ceiling and floor fan in the house blowing. For anyone who has never been to Florida, if your ac is out for more than a few days your mattresses and other large upholstered objects start to stink of mustiness and even begin to mildew, from the humidity. I can already smell it faintly, in the blankets. I REALLY LIKE THE HUMIDITY TO STAY OUTSIDE. Tropical paradise my ass. Muggy lot of peninsula swampland grumble grumble...
Jake won't sleep, because it's too hot in there. Luckily he took a bit of an evening nap and is happy as heck about being awake. He walks more than he crawls, now, and is to my right chewing on various and sundry toys that he finds. Isaac is sprawled out completely naked on his bed, Annie in underwear, and she's like 2 feet under a full blast ceiling fan in her top bunk. Aaron has a tiny little fan IN his bed with him, blowing directly on his face.
OT, but I swear I'm showing already. Laura says it every time she sees me. "It's so obvious", etc. It was the same way with Isaac - I was maybe a month along and she got home from being away for the summer and said "You're pregnant?!" before I said anything. I'm 7.4 weeks...approximately. And I never stop being hungry, unless I'm nauseus from feeling full. I just had bruschetta. An hour before that I was eating all the grapes in the house. A couple hours before that I had a loaded baked potato. An hour before that I had seconds, a couple of hours before which I had huge firsts, of dinner. It's like this all the time. I know what you're thinking; Sure you're SHOWING, you're showing your fat gut from eating nonstop! Maybe you're right. But I am talking serious hunger, like you can hear my belly growling from across the room hunger. And it is always accompanied by an ever growing nausea that grows the longer I wait to eat. I attribute it to tandem nursing and making a person at the same time. I think that's supposed to require an extra 1200 calories a day, all told? And I never stop moving, either, lately. If I wake up and make myself an omelette, I immediately have a nectarine, and then within 2 hours I'm in there chopping an avocado, and then an hour after that I'm steaming asparagus...mmm, asparagus, I could make some of that right now...
