Pregnant Brain

So people have claimed there is such a thing as "Pregnant Brain" although many books and websites say that it is make-believe. Pregnant Brain refers to the state of flightiness or forgetfulness that pregnant women experience. I've read that it's nothing more than the fact that you are focusing so much on your pregnancy, or are maybe extra tired, that is causing the ditziness, and not really anything chemically different in your body that you can blame it on.

However. Let me tell you about today and the amount of air-headedness I experienced.

This morning, I left my house at the usual time, around ten past seven. I decided I wanted a muffin and a decaf coffee, so I headed to Dunkin' Donuts. While in the Dunk's drive through I realized I left all of my school things at home, my entire bag with my pass to get into the school and everything. As soon as I paid for my order, I drove off in the direction of my house to retrieve my belongings, and immediately realized that after getting my change from the Dunks lady, I drove away before getting my order. At this point, it was 7:20 and I had only time to go to one place, Dunks or Home. I went home, got my things, and went to school, coffeeless.

As I got to school, I turned the car off, grabbed my bags, opened my car door and promptly realized I was stuck. Both of my legs were out of the car door, struggling to reach the ground, and something was keeping me in my seat. I thought my bag was caught on something, I jerked it, yanked it, to no avail. It was about thirty seconds of struggle before I realized I had not unbuckled my seat belt.

This was all before seven thirty in the morning.

Some days you should really be able to go back to bed and just call it a mental health day!!

Incase you were wondering...

Bobby and I blogged our way across sixteen states and a piece of Canada this summer for our honeymoon. It was awesome having the lap top and WiFi to keep in touch with our family and friends. We could upload pictures and stories about all the funny (and crazy) things we were experiencing the same day we experienced them, which made the stories much more real to everyone at home. Since we were on a three to four week vacation we would never have been able to remember all the details we wanted to tell everyone once we got home.

Now that we are home I stopped blogging because there doesn't seem to be specific moments to blog about, the way there were on the vacation. A few people have suggested that I keep blogging about things that are happening to us now that we are married (for example, we are expecting a baby in May). I named the blog "Creating a Life" for a couple of reasons. One, I would love to write about the amazing journey we are on right now since we have "created a life" literally and are going through all of the crazy moments of a first pregnancy, and two, because I'd like to write about our life in general and all of wonderful and confusing moments to contemplate.

My husband wants the laptop now and since I'm just diving into my fifth month of pregnancy, it's just about time that I figure out where my next meal is coming from. Can't wait to keep in touch. :)
