When im outside it feels like im getting burnt as soon as the sun touches me  Does anyone else feel like this? Maybe its just because im pregnant.

it is rather hot and with a wee one it's quite hard.. I feel your pain with the heat Sabrina as I was like that the 2 times I have been UTD. Try and get some nice cool wearing clothing.
We are off to Napier for xmas so this could be interesting as we will be camping.. could have a very grumpy boy ------------- http://lilyslim.com">  http://lilypie.com">

I know what you mean! That sun is burning hot even for just 10 seconds in it!
Have been covering DD in sunblock and we haven't been in the sun much but it's just so hot everywhere! Hopefully it's a nice summer though! Have just been wearing light clothing but dressing DD in things that are cool but cover her - am so worried about her getting sun burnt! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

| I am dying in the heat. Tepid baths are a saviour and work for a while afterwards as well. |

Yesterday was 27! Was bloody hot! We took the kids to the beach in the morning to play before the sun came out from the clouds, and then in afternoon when it was crystal clear and sweltering we went back to the beach for a swim, they loved it!
Todays meant to be 24, Ive had my door open since 7.30am cos its stuff in here. ------------- |

its nice and cool and overcast here today but we have had some scorchers lately, the kinds of days where it is just too hot to be outside and you need to hide from the sun. Summer is going to be sooo hot this year I think! ------------- Mum to Mr 10, Mr 6 and Mr 4

Sheza I think we are going to be much more that 24 today, its already 22.8 and its not even 9.30 yet.
Feel so much sympathy for those of you who are pregnant, I was pregnant last summer with a feb baby and it sucked big time. -------------  http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

It's pretty shocking isn't it, I agree that it's going to be a hot summer if this is how it carries on!
Thankfully I'm not as pregnant as I was this time last year with my Jan baby but still it's going to be tough come mid-summer! DH was awesome at getting out the chilly bin and filling it with iced water and I used to soak my feet every day... might have to get that out again this summer! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

It's crazy!!! We're meant to follow Europes hot summers 2 years later, not a year later! So this summer should have been bad, and next summer stunning!!!
DS has been living in a tshirt that does up under the bum!! I feel so sorry for him! I'm red-head and burn soooo crazy easily, and we've been chewing through the sunscreen something crazy already I'm coating DS in it cos I'm just a bit paranoid!!!!

Our house is like a sauna and our deck has no shade,but luckily we have a hose and a beach and pool nearby ....
Its stinking hot, and I am not used to being heavily pregnant over summer, but for all that its hot, I love it, im a summer baby, I love summer and everything it entails such as bbqs, parties, christmas, my birthday , new years etc etc, its my favourite time of the year, so even tho it might be really hot ,I would still prefer it to winter -------------

TheK me too! Love summer! Was pregnant (heavily) over last summer and it wasn't too bad, just over night was! So far (and it's only late Nov) I am feeling like I did when I was 9 months with Lily so I think it's going to be a great summer!
Bring on the BBQs, beach etc! 
But today in Welly it's overcast/foggy, muggy... But kinda chilly! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Definately hot already!! Almost flaked out in the kitchen yesterday cooking with all the windows open...don't think I'm going to like it when it gets even hotter and when i get bigger!! Luckily I'm not due in summer though, really feel for all that are! Will be getting out the blow up pool and beaching myself in it i think haha  ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

I love summer too!! It is pretty hot in our house though, and Hunters room is north facing so is like an oven by lunchtime. I might look into hiring a aircon unit for a few months?
We are off to the beach whenever he decides to wake up. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Bring on summer. We have already been swimming at the beach. Bought DD a blow up seat that has a blow up umbrella on it. Once she had adjusted to the water she was happy as anything. I have one of those kids that shivers and freezes but still doesn't want to get out of the water! ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

Milk. You need milk. And bread. Buy something that has to go in the freezer-then you can go hang over the freezers at the shop, then in your freezer at home.

Hehe. It's pretty miserably hot here too, although I'm pretty cool with ignoring it, I like summer and would way rather be hot than cold. It's poor Jacob I feel sorry for - I sleep him in just his nappy, and he's still lying there hot and sweaty and grizzly, poor little man. -------------

Im loving Palmy's weather atm! Altho our flat stays nice and cool all day (legend!), and I don't have to go outside 4 any reason.. I think I'm too scared to even go for a walk for fear of getting burnt and soaked with sweat lol. But I do love the warmth! and nothing like sunshine to brighten the mood
Have applied for a gardening job, will be very interesting if I get that! Will be very nana looking in lawn bowls type attire and a massive wide-brim sunhat ------------- TTC#1 since Apr11 On hold for study! |

I went out today and got a blow up paddling pool so I have somewhere to cool off when I feel like I'm about to melt.
It was 27deg here today at 5pm. It's been hitting 27 for the past few days too. Very very happy that we got the paddling pool today and will definately be using it over the rest of summer. Also have a half litre bottle of sunscreen  so dont have to worry about running out any time soon!
Now all I need is a stockpile of light floaty dresses and I'll be sorted. ------------- Antony, gone but never forgotten 2-4-2010

I hate summer though so maybe thats why i cant stand the heat. -------------

Today wasn't too bad here.
My poor DS has been very sick the past couple of days and ended up quite dehydrated
Theres always wind here which ruins the nice day.. DS hasn't worn socks in forever. Spends all day in just a nappy and singlet or tshirt..Summer makes me want to buy nappies. I was another one preggy over last summer. All the way thru. I had an early April bub. Uggghhh it sucked. I'm sure it wasn't this hot this early lastyear. |

Oh I'm with you ladies on this heat and I'm not even pregnant.
Our house is like sauna to Kellie. Our lounge is one big window and we melt in it. Just been on flybuys to get a fan. ------------- http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/545141" rel="nofollow">  |

Today was a bit unpleasant, poor Ty felt it, I ended up putting him in a coldish shower with me , then later C and I had a water fight with the hose
Last night I found it was warm at about 10,which i've experienced in Australia, but never here -------------

Has been stinking hot lately huh! I love Summer but not when it is this muggy! I was heavily pregnant this time last year but TBH, the heat never bothered me..... I'm feeling it more this year!
I burn real easy so have been plastering myself (and Isla) in sunscreen before we go out. It's actually been cooler outside than inside lately. Our house is made of concrete block and is like a bloody sauna, so it is actually better to go out in the heat. -------------
