[Oh my Pregnant Brain!]
Pregnant Brain - The condition in which a women fat with child can no longer remember or think clearly.
I can't completely deny that I had PB with my first child, but I do remember being skeptical when women blamed their blunders on their supposed pregnant brain (even after their child was 3 years old in some cases). puh-leeeze, just admit you're a ditz...
When I mention to my husband that I don't think I had PB with our daughter, he usually mumbles something barely audible, or gives me a pity smirk - not very reassuring.
However, with this boy that I'm carrying around in my belly, I definitely feel like my brain has turned to straw. I can never remember a time when I was so forgetful, but that probably doesn't say much since I can't remember anything, or think clearly.
I mentioned on FB a while ago that I forgot to get dressed for a while after the shower, I blame that one partly on the summer heat, good thing no one came to the door - I like to think I would have realized my current condition.
One morning my husband told me that he was fasting that day, something I can't currently do (without complaint). While actively thinking about my husband's fast, I simultaneously started making him scrambled eggs and a smoothie. See what I mean? This brain is lame.
I sure hope the fuzziness comes into focus again after I give birth, I'm going to need to be even sharper than before with two babes.
However, despite the fact that I get annoyed with myself for not having a brain anymore, I am lucky in the way that I don't get very sick while pregnant, my baby isn't pressing on any crazy painful nerves, I can still taste food normally, I (used to) still have enough energy to workout, I haven't started retaining water in a ridiculous way, and I'm sure the list goes on but I can't think of anymore right now - for the most part, I feel healthy and normal(ish) minus the giant beach ball under my skin and the constant jabs from the alien life-form invading that beach ball belly.
