This summer so far has had two types of weather – rain and scorching heat. \u00a0 In my normal, non preggo state I am a summer baby and love the heat. \u00a0I never turned on the AC in my truck unless my mother was in it. \u00a0I never installed window units in the house until TB moved in and required them. \u00a0I always enjoyed the warm weather since I felt like I was always cold the rest of the year.<\/p>\n
Oh how life has changed. \u00a0I knew going into pregnancy that things would change and I was ok with this idea because, well, it’s just how things work. \u00a0Then you get pregnant and you turn into an alien. \u00a0I seriously don’t even know myself anymore.<\/p>\n
I can’t stand the heat! \u00a0I also all of the sudden like chocolate! \u00a0(It’s definitely TB’s kid in there.)<\/p>\n
If the temperature goes above 75 I think I am going to die. \u00a0If you add humidity in its even worse. \u00a0I used to be able to go for hours working in the garden before collapsing. \u00a0Now that time frame has been shortened to about 30 minutes.<\/p>\n
So to recap my preggo life so far:<\/p>\n
First few months = no energy and lots of laying on the couch.<\/p>\n
Last few months = more energy but no ability to deal with heat while its 100 degrees everyday so more sitting on the couch.<\/p>\n
As you can imagine from both these scenarios, I haven’t been getting as much done as I would like. \u00a0Even through all the heat and exhaustion, I am still me and basically cannot sit still. \u00a0 I have been trying to figure out things I can do inside that don’t require a lot of physical labor. \u00a0Soon you will be seeing a new line of ecofriendly products in the shop to add to the furniture and reclaimed wood signs I already have going. \u00a0 I have also been tweaking and updating this site and the Etsy shop.<\/p>\n
All this is to say that even though TB will not let me carry anything over 5 pounds which makes getting furniture done a bit harder, \u00a0it’s hotter than I can deal with and my belly has now grown to a size that it’s getting in the way a lot, I am still working hard! \u00a0I am looking ahead to make sure this Ridiculous Redhead has new stuff for you to see (and buy!) while I go through the rest of the pregnancy and also when we welcome the baby. \u00a0 I have also been thinking a lot about making some videos tutorials on my most requested stuff as long as you don’t laugh when my belly gets stuck on something.<\/p>\n
As always suggestions and questions are welcome! \u00a0Are there ecofriendly home things you are looking for but can’t find?\u00a0I love reading and answering your emails and comments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
