Dressing for the temperature

FTM due in 12 days!

One thing that makes me nervous is we are in Texas and summers get HOT. some days it’s not possible to keep the indoor temp under 78 even with AC running all day (old house).

Is there a definitive source for how to dress baby at different temperatures? Especially for sleep! I want better information on how to pair attire with a swaddle or sleep sack based on the temperature because I find conflicting info and images online.

FTM 36w

Is it normal for baby movement to feel not as strong in last month pregnancy? Is the concern bigger if there’s less movement but not necessarily that movement feels muted?

My baby has been moving during his usual periods (after meals, before bed). But the movements feel kind of quieter over the last few days. Feels like I have an extra layer of skin or something buffering the movement haha. PS I have a fetal Doppler and at least I know his heart rates ok🙈

FTM currently 35.5 weeks pregnant. My husband is generally very much not paying attention to his phone/ always has it silenced or do not disturb. This is especially true during work hours since he started his new job. When did you ladies make your husbands pay attention to their phone? I fear I will go into labor while we are still at work and he won’t know for a couple hours haha.

Similarly- when should I also request that he stops traveling. He has to travel both for work and to visit a sick relative. I want him to do that ASAP but he may not be able to for another two weeks. We recently moved to a new city away from all family and only have casual friends/ acquaintances nearby so kind of nervous being left alone atp🙈
