"Pregnancy Brain" I've got it. It is pregnant women's forgetfulness or mind "cloud". I was reading for just a minute about it online looking for a good definition to quote. There is one theory that it is caused by the brain strinking a bit (temporarily) during pregnancy. I dunno-- all I know is that I've got it.
2 weeks ago I showed up to my doctor's appointment at 11am only to find out that the appointment was at 11am the NEXT DAY (which I should have known since my doctor only works wednesday). Then, 2 days ago I got all ready to go for my doctor's appointment on tuesday AGAIN. I had got a babysitter, notified the pharmacy and my dietitian. twice in a row? that's pretty bad. Good thing they have those reminder phone calls that told me that my appointment wasn't until wednesday otherwise I would have showed up to the doctors office a day early (again).
I can't remember some of the names of my BEST FRIENDS in the ward.
Steve asks me things but all of my answers have to be that I'm only 75% sure (since I've discovered I can't be sure of anything while pregnant).
This ol' brain just ain't what it used to be. Maybe the Lord makes pregnant women forgetful so that they don't remember how much *fun* pregnancy is when it's all done.

My brain has never recovered. It used to be that if I didn't know where something was it was because someone else moved it-- I could be sure of it. Now all I can be sure of is that I just don't know where that something is. Oh well.

Cake, I don't know if you were serious of not, but I don't think you could still have the problem. I definately got my mental capacities back after the first pregnancy. I feel like I'm a little on the airheaded blond side all of the time right now.

THIS GUY   has to be having a hard time right now in Utah trying to make a name for himself and selling his music given that THIS GUY has quite a musical history too and has more press coverage.   Some people are just born to have bad luck.

Lots of fun happening around here. Kiera going through daddy-withdrawls after steve had to start school again. Poor little lady. Kiera has started trying to draw pictures of people now (see photo above). Kiera has officially mastered the VCR. She knows how to work it and what all of the buttons do. (I'll bet there are some 70 year olds who don't know as much as she does at age 2). Lydia has been enjoying a few firsts lately. We gave her rice cereal last night for the first time which she was apparently more than ready for (see video), we've put her in a doorway jumper which she likes although she hasn't figured out the jumping part yet. Oh, and for those of you who have been to NM lately, you'll appriciate this: Steve and I plan on applying to a government program that is somewhat like the military in that they pay for your schooling; but instead of steve being in a branch of the military, he will owe the government years of his life serving in one of th...
