Our air conditioning has been broken since Saturday night. We live in a new construction home, so the subcontractor is responsible for fixing it since it's still under warranty. Well, they suck, and it's still not fixed. It was 90 degrees yesterday and going to be 90 degrees today. The baby and I are melting. He hasn't had a shirt on for more than a few hours, and he's fussy because our house is a sauna.
If these a/c people don't fix it today I'm going to cry.
Is it hot where you are?

Yes! Mid nineties this week. It is almost 80 at 7:00am. Ugh.
So sorry your air is out-that is so miserable. Our air went out for one day last week and the baby and I went to stay with my mom. He was so hot and fussy I just let him nurse whenever until we left to try and calm him down.
Are there any friends or family's houses you can stay with or visit? Go to the mall and walk around maybe?

Yes, it is crazy hot, and if we did not have a/c, I dont know what I'd do!!! I am very cold natured but my daughter is a fireball and gets hot easily, so I would be super stressed that she'd overheat!
I hope you and your dude get cooled off soon!!! Can you guys go somewhere to mooch some a/c for a while- like a mall or Target? When we're out and about in the heat we always have to duck in stores to give LO an a/c break...

@tlcbaby: @PrincessBaby: Luckily at night it cools off into the 70s, so we can sleep pretty comfortably with the windows open. During the day is a different story! I would loooove to take him to Targ or the mall for awhile, but I guess I worry that he's too young? He's 3 weeks, and I'm scared of germs. Maybe I'll just cover him in his stroller and go so we can get some a/c!

Heck yeah its hot. I bought a new SL dress to wear to workvbecause sitting it up is miserable in b the heat.
G/L getting tout A/C fixed. When companies drag their feet I tell them I will get repairs done elsewhere and send them a bill. They move faster.

It's been crazy temps like 100 degrees at 8:30pm all week. I can't sleep. We have no a/c. Both DH & LO are massive heat generating machines.
I'm dying.

I brought my LO out at that age. Like you said, keep him in the car seat, and keep a blanket or something over top and just don't stop to talk to any strangers that would think of coming near him.

It's hot but it's SO NICE now that it's not raining every second anymore. Our a/c is working, though... I hope they fix it soon!!

@Pepper: that is what I did! When I first took A out, I just kept his carseat covered so people would keep their hands to themselves 
Or you could just drive around with the AC on.

Oh my. We're in Florida so it's pretty hot. Luckily we have both of our parents here so if something happened to our AC we'd have a place to stay.

It's bad in toronto too...hope you get your AC fixed! I would also get out to a mall and just keep the carseat covered.

Yes, NY is in yet another heatwave and I can't stand it! We have a/c but our living room area is so large, it barely does anything. I can't wait to move into a house and get central air!

yes, in the 90's here too/ I have a 5k in less than a month too, and DH are still going out every morning with our dog training!!
pomegranate / 3872 posts
Yup, it is soooo hot! Our house is nice and cool but I stress about taking LO and the dog out. LO gets so sweaty in the carseat, but also sweaty in the ergo in this weather so we've been mostly staying inside.

yikes hope you get it fixed!
it is sooo hot here. 95 degrees yesterday and humid and the same the rest of the week. i hate it when it's this hot!

Hope it gets fixed soon. This hot weather is really unbearable. We have heat index of 100 for the remainder of the week. Planning on staying indoors.

That is no good!!!
It is HOT HOT HOT here.... It's supposed to be the hottest week of the summer.
grapefruit / 4681 posts
Yes! I took the dogs out early this morning and it was already in the high 80's and sticky at that time!! Makes me just want to sleeeeep!
GOLD / cantaloupe / 6581 posts
Ugh, I can't even imagine dealing with my new born in this heat wave with no a/c! You poor things! Did you tell them you have a newborn at home? Some companies move faster if they know there are babies or elderly involved. Good luck, and definitely get yourselves to a store with a/c!
grapefruit / 4187 posts
Oh no! Definitely get some standing fans in teh meanwhile and drink lots of ice water!
Hot here too, close to 100 all week! I've been getting in and leaving work early to avoid the crowds but yesterday it didn't help me since the subways were delayed anyway adn I had to wait on the sweltering sauna/platform for over 10 minutes..
pomelo / 5820 posts
They JUST fixed the AC!! Woohoo! The house is still unbearable... it's going to take hours to cool off. LO and I are going to go to Target for a bit to cool off... our first Target trip!
@Bookworm: We told them 100 times that we had a newborn and it still took then this long to fix it. Ugh!

We've been having a break from the heat. It's only in the 80s! That's pretty much unheard of for July.
GOLD / cantaloupe / 6581 posts
@Pepper: that's horrible!! 
I'm sorry! Good luck at target though!!
