"What great timing," they said of my pregnancy.
"Spring babies are the best," they said.
"Think of all the nice walks you'll get to go on," they said.
Ha. In the twenty-three days that William has been alive, there have been SIX days where the temperature has been over fifty-five degrees. SIX. For comparison, it has snowed on approximately TEN different days since William was born. Ridiculous? I think so.
And yes, I understand that I live in South Dakota and that my children will inevitably be exposed to freezing and sub-zero temperatures. But I was not prepared to battle weather like that with a newborn (at least not this time around). We certainly don't have the clothing or accessories for me to feel comfortable taking William out in this weather--and have subsequently been pretty much stuck at home. What I wouldn't give for weather that would allow me to take my fussy newborn out for a walk.
