I just feel terrible.
And it’s not me that is actually dealing with feeling awful and having to deal with discomfort.
I feel terrible because my wife is 8 months pregnant and it’s mid July. While we have great quality heating and air in our home, the focus is for sure the air conditioning component. In our region, one doesn’t go far in the summer without knowing there is some HVAC cooling on the other end. And that’s for people who aren’t 8 months pregnant. Our summers can be a brutal combination of high temperatures and big time humidity. That makes for a pair that only the heat pump can deal with. When we planned this pregnancy, this was definitely not the time line we thought we were in for. Having did the research, we figured it’d take a bit to get pregnant after being on birth control for so long. Well, it wasn’t a week after we stopped birth control that my wife got pregnant. That through everything off right from the beginning. And then, we did the math to see that we were facing having a baby during the hottest month of the year. But my wife struggled after six months and was put on bed rest. That’s come with plenty of HVAC cooling. Thankfully, we have a smart thermostat that allows my wife to adjust the thermostat setting remotely. She has the app on her phone which allows her to change the HVAC setting from bed or the couch. At least there’s that. Knowing that she can at least have all the HVAC cooling she needs at her fingertips is a comforting thought while I’m still at work.
