Pregger brain

It is a terrible thing! I can't even count how many stupid things I did when I was pregnant with Ben, not to mention how forgetful I was at times. It is boggling! I like to think that I am normally not a forgetful person, so when this happens, I feel even more like an idiot!

I thought I would start to keep track of my "instances" of pregger brain.

- A couple weeks ago I went to work (I usually go into the office one day a week) and I forgot my power cable. Yes, for my Mac Book. Which means the battery wouldn't last all day and the boss' husband had to bring his in so I could continue working. Doh!

- I was making Mike's coffee for him the night before a work day, and getting his lunch together. Trying to be a good wifey. Well, the next afternoon Mike thanks me for doing all that, and says that the coffee usually tastes better when you put WATER into it! Ohmigod. I thought he was going to tell me that I killed the coffee maker. Thank goodness I didn't.

Those are just a couple that stand out the most right now, (I am sure I will think of more!) this early in the morning, but forgetfulness is a regular occurrence. I forget things to take to daycare for Ben (like the cheque to pay her, or miss a day to pay her for).

Thankfully, I know I am not the only one! And when I have a REALLY awesome day, like at work, I can joke that I have the help of an extra brain :)

Ha! I have been kicking Konrad's butt at Scrabble and he says, "No fair, you have two brains!"

No pregnancy brain yet, just this incredible fatigue. I thought I was supposed to be the Energizer Bunny in the second trimester, doesn't sound like you are though!! Sleep, sleep. Rest.

LOL.. well, hopefully it will work in my favour some of the time!!

The fatigue goes away, and comes back but not near as much as the first trimester!! Just because of the growing baby — doing what it's supposed to do!
