Are You Ready For the Summer?

Remember this movie? It was on TV all the time when I was growing up. There was a scene where the teen camp counselors in training wanted to try and steal air conditioning for their cabin but ended up blowing a fuse and blacking out the entire camp. Good times. Anyway....

We're a couple of weeks away from the official start of summer, but already Helen and I have been making preps to try and keep her cool as the temps rise and the baby grows.

To that end, we bought a portable a/c for the bedroom. It's one that sits on the ground and has a hose that goes to the window to let out hot air. I think they're pretty popular around here, even though normally there are only a few days out of the year that we'll really need it. Of course, being pregnant changes that and I imagine we'll be using it quite a bit this summer.

Many of our friends have told us it's actually better that Norbit is due in the winter, because once Helen is close to delivering, it'll be cooler. They say they feel bad for moms who give birth during the summer months because it can get pretty uncomfortable. In addition to being a nice holiday gift, Norbit is also helping Helen out.
