Nicole's Journal

What exactly goes on in my head, anyway?

I have NEVER had these problems with my other pregnancies.  It gets so frustrating.  I just needed somewhere to vent.

Ever since I got pregnant, I have had terrible "mental" issues.  Not that I'm going crazy or anything.  But it's other things.  Little things.  For example, yesterday, Matt said to me, "Mom is it the 29th?"  I completely drew a blank.  I stopped what I was doing, looked at the calendar and thought to myself, "No, we couldn't already be in the 20's of September could we?"  I was about to tell him that I thought it was around the 16th but then I knew that wasn't right.  Then I realized that yes, it was the 29th.  I know I'm a stay at home mom but come on!  I should know the date! 

Cassidy just showed me a math paper from yesterday that I checked over for her and she got three answers wrong.  I checked it before she put it in her folder and thought they were all right.  Apparently, I can't even do fifth grade math! 

I keep getting these passing ideas for writing and I also have another book that I wrote a while ago that I want to edit and get ready to submit to MOPS for publishing.  But I can't concentrate on it long enough to do anything with it.  This is all so frustrating for me! 

I hope this all passes when the baby is born.  My husband read that when a woman is pregnant, her brain actually shrinks.  Isn't that nice?  Ugh. 

I have enjoyed being pregnant but, I think I'm about ready for Caleb to make his appearance so I can get get at least SOME of my sanity back!

LOL....been there and done all of that. I was actually in there mall and had our bags in my hand. I was so caught up in walking and talking that I completely freaked out that I thought I layed them down somewhere when my hubby pointed to my hand. Duh!!! I think the baby sucks out all of our intelligence or atleast that's what I'm sticking with.
