Samantha's first blog

Posted By pamelamyers on April 8, 2010

For our friends and family who are not in this area, you are probably not aware that the last few days here have been pretty hard to take, weather-wise.  It is only early April and it has been close to 90 degrees (32 degrees C).  Now, I do like the warm weather, but I don’t think anyone was prepared to deal with summer heat quite yet.  And our poor little Samantha really does not like the heat.  She never has, even when she was a newborn.  She hardly ever cries, but you can be pretty sure that when she does, if she is not hungry, it is because she is hot.  I don’t know how many times she has started crying and all we had to do was strip her clothes off, or open her pajamas, and she immediately stops.  She is just like Mark that way — he can’t take the heat either. It’s no wonder when I was pregnant I was so hot ALL THE TIME that I couldn’t stand it.  Mark was loving it — I wanted the air conditioning on constantly.  I think it was hot-blooded little Sam all that time making me hot.

Well, anyway, after Monday night with her not sleeping well because I couldn’t get the temperature in her room quite right, Mark put our air conditioner in her room Tuesday night.  I was shocked when I woke up in the morning that she had slept entirely through the night!  That was the first time EVER, and she did it again last night!  Two nights in a row of sleeping all the way through.  She has always been a good sleeper, only waking up once per night for a feeding since she was only a few months old, but she has NEVER slept all the way through, and now she has done it twice in a row.   She was so tired last night from not napping well at my mom’s because of the heat that she went to bed last night at 6:45 and when I went in to get her at 6:30 this morning she was out cold!  I don’t think she had any intention of getting up any time soon.

Boy, that kid really likes the air conditioner…. I don’t think we are getting it back…..
