Posted several times over the last couple of weeks

31 weeks pregnant
Building work to our downstairs happening
I've just moved our DS (nearly 2) to a bedroom on our 3rd floor. This was so he was protected from builders noise, protected from baby noise when they arrive (his old bedroom was next to ours) and he wouldnt feel jealous of the baby eventually taking his room.

I decorated the room carefully and the 1st week was fine. But the 3rd floor is so much hotter than the others. DS is roasting. He slept terribly last night and I've just had him hysterically screaming. He is exhausted and I feel terribly guilty. I thought I was doing the right thing.

I'm exhausted. I cant stay in muchnnevause he wants to go into the building site bits. I can't take him out because it's too damn hot. And now he cant sleep.

The house is a mess. I'm a mess.

tepid water sponge down? Just a sheet?

Windows open? Fan?

Overheating gives my dc nightmares = screaming.

It'll all be better when it cools down which I think is tomorrow or Mon.

Hang in there. This too will pass.

I tried to flannel.gin down but he just hysterically screamed at me. Window and door are open, fan is literally on top of him, he is in a nappy and a loose fitting vest (I put it on him to attach his dummy.clip to, otherwise he loses it and that upsets him).

I just feel so embattled and like I can't do right for doing wrong.
