I wasn't a fan of temperatures over 100 before - especially without a/c, but poor little Ruby just can't deal with it. We've been spending our days out and about finding places with air that will also welcome a baby who might fuss for a bit. Ruby is over-stimulated, over-heated, and over-tired.
Last night we snuck into the soil science student lounge after hours and hung out there while John worked on his thesis with us. Ruby and I crashed on the couch until about 10 pm when we thought our apartment might have cooled off enough (it hadn't - it was 90 inside).
On a positive note, when Ruby is not hot and tired, she is so happy. She smiles a ton now - especially at books, which I can't get enough of. She makes a new little sound everyday, it seems. And, she is getting chubbier by the second. She couldn't be cuter, I think and then she proves me wrong.
About Me
- Megan
- I live in Oregon, but recently came from Florida, where I grew up. I love having seasons and mountains to watch here. I am married to the gorgeous and multi-talented John and am Mama to baby Ruby. I stay home with her rather than teaching young children in school as I used to do. Now I find myself having much more time and energy to explore my creative side that was always dormant until the summer months when teaching. I will share my adventures in mothering, knitting, baking, reading, and the products of all of the time that has been used up on the internet. Besides that, I spend my time walking in sun or in rain, practicing yoga, organizing a monthly craft show and otherwise procrastinating so I don’t have time to clean.

Poor Ruby/Meg, being hot sucks. You guys should come up here for a while...our apt. somehow doesn't get hot.
Or, you should install some air conditioners!
I've got 2 words for ya...ho-tel. ;)
I'm hot just looking at you guys! Looks like you need to come to Florida to keep cool. LOL
yes, getting out of town (even to FL where everything has a/c - we'd be cold) or going to a hotel have beed discussed. luckily the heat wave passed. we still have to leave the house during the hot part of the day, but we're not gone for hours on end anymore.
john's parents will be here this week. his dad (doesn't know it yet) will be installing 2 window units donated to us generously by bri & eddie.
thank you, global warming
