Heat Waves.

I live in Texas. It's August.

It is a known fact that a sleeping pregnant woman uses more energy than a non-pregnant woman climbing a mountain. Our blood volume is increased by 50%. Our hormones are rising and running and rioting unchecked. We're getting bigger. And bigger. And it's HOT.
So please don't touch us. We like you, we really do. But please don't hug us a lot. Don't pet us. Don't do the thing where you side hug someone and talk directly into their face at the same time. That's not acceptable even when you're not pregnant. Don't comment on our wearing flip flops to formal occasions. Applaud our ponytails. We're HOT. And nothing can speed up a pregnant rampage like makeup that took 20 minutes to apply melting off. Or hair that took an hour to straighten curling right back up. Or people who side hug and talk directly into your face.

I love how people think pregnancy makes you an unobservant idiot!
