I finally understood today what every other woman who has had a late summer baby meant by, "Oh, I am so sorry! You will be so hot!" I thought to myself that maybe it really wouldn't be that bad... WRONG. I don't think I have ever sweated so bad in my life. Really, who would have thought that you could really feel like you were sitting right in an oven like that!

It's funny sometimes to think about the way God does things. Really, I thought my plan was so much better on the timing of this pregnancy. Get pregnant in the summer, have the baby in early spring, take the rest of the year off from teaching and have the entire summer to spend at home before I went back to school. I thought that plan was perfect. What teacher wouldn't? Well, this has been exactly opposite. Got pregnant in the winter, have the baby in the late summer, start school (hopefully) and then take only a few weeks off. Tell me, which one sounds better to you? Not saying that being pregnant during the summer is a terrible thing... I am talking more about when I try to make plans for my life and the Lord in his wisdom does otherwise. Oh, how my vision is so limited and cloudy compared to His. Once this pregnancy happened, it didn't matter to me about MY timing anymore. If all I have to complain about it being hot, then I feel pretty blessed. What's a few weeks out of my life to be hot. A few weeks, that's all. But while I am at it, man, I am burning up! :)
