Spring Has Arrived

Finally, spring has arrived here in Arizona and it looks like it's here to stay.  I know my WI friends will find this post obnoxious as they are still dealing with snow and cold weather, but I think we are finally over the cold weather and I am so happy.  I feel like this was the longest and coldest winter since we have moved to Arizona and I disliked it very much.  One day it's 47 degrees out as I am driving home from work freezing waiting for my seat to warm up and the next day it's a beautiful 75 degrees out.  I couldn't handle the up and down with the weather as it took me back to my WI days.  What happened to the very predictable AZ winter weather?

Yesterday we were at the Cubs spring training game and it was a gorgeous 70+ degrees out.  It felt so wonderful just to lounge in the sun amongst some friends as it was a completely different day on Saturday.  It rained and was only 50 degrees and freezing on Saturday.  It was a sweatshirt and jeans kind of day when this girl is ready to bust our her flip flops and sun dresses.  Two weeks ago we were at the Cubs spring training game and it was so cold  that day I had three layers on and was wrapped up in a blanket.  I was so cold all day long that when we got home we both took hot showers and were still cold the rest of the night.  Not so much fun for this pregnant lady as I woke up a few days later with a massive head cold.  I was not surprised.  A cold is so much worse when you are pregnant because my usual remedy is now forbidden as it is not pregnant friendly.  I suffered for most of the cold until my doctor informed me I could take Robitussin and Mucinex.  Finally, I felt a little relief as I hacked and coughed all day long.

I am so happy we are finaly into spring and it is here to stay.  I am excited for the heat to arrive and the flip flops to be warn.  I am sure you will hear a different story in a few months when I am six months pregnant and it's 110 degrees outside.
