So here we are, ten days before Christmas. It's finally become cold here. It hit about Thanksgiving. While the days' high still reaches the mid-60's (Saturday is even forecasted to be 70) the nights are down in the 30's. I know that doesn't seem so bad, until you imagine it in a home with no heat. We have to take several steps to stay warm at night...
-Warm pj's (my winter clothes and pj's finally made it here, thanks Christina)
-bed warmer (like an electric blanket that goes under the sheets but we turn it off when we get in bed cause it can dehydrate you if left on all night)
-down blanket
-space heater, set on a timer so not to run all night but long enough for us to get warm and snuggly
All of those combined give us a toasty night. Heaven forbid you wake up and have to pee. The cold is a shock to the system. In addition, getting out of bed in the morning is becoming increasingly more difficult. The sad news for me is that I hear January brings colder nights. It seems like my toes never truly get warmed up. I hope they don't fall off in January. The thing that's gonna get me through it all? We go to Thailand on January 25th and stay for two weeks. I'm ready for fun in the sun and fellowship with friends. As soon as the countdown to Christmas ends I will start my countdown to Thailand!

Oh Wow! No heat?! Geesh! Hope the weather warms up for your soon. And Thailand sounds awesome!
Maybe the boys could start sleeping in the bed with you...like the natives. ???? jk. How do the boys handle the cold?
That would be a tough one. I don't envy you in your 3rd trimester. I'll start praying now that the baby won't make you get up and go to the bathroom all night.
