As much as I love seeing the leaves change in fall, and getting a bit of snow around Christmas, I also hate just how long and grueling the winter season is in Ohio. I do start getting somewhat depressed by January, and when spring rolls around it is just so nice to feel the sun shining again. It’s amazing what a little light and warmth can do for your mental well-being.
I’m also happy to be going through the rest of my pregnancy in the summer. People have been telling me that I will be miserable, hot, and swollen by the time it’s over, but you know what? That’s fine with me. I would rather be able to go outside and enjoy the weather and feel HAPPY, than to be depressed and pregnant over the dark winter months.
I will say, though, that I am already having fantasies of buying one of those inflatable swimming pools for my back yard so that I can soak when it gets too hot this summer. Maybe I can fill it with ice cubes?

Oh, don’t listen to them! Your pregnancy is what you make of it!
I was pregnant through the summer too. I just had that AC blastin’! LOL

I had Oliver in mid-July and I really didn’t mind it, even when it was in the 90s the week before he was born. I liked being able to take walks every morning and evening, when it was cooler, and I ate a lot of ice cream.
