I Think The Baby Stole My Brain

I had always heard how women who were pregnant suffered from “pregnancy brain”. You know, being absent minded, forgetting things, etc. But I never thought I would be one of them. I am organized, I create excel spreadsheets and lists about most everything in my life, I am a total Type A personality.

But I have been inflicted just like every other pregnant woman. It started slowly. I would have to run back into the house for something. I would forget the word I wanted to use. “Adam, what did you do with that thing?”

Yesterday, my stupidness peaked and today it hasn't improved. Last night Adam and I were driving and I realized I was wearing two different earrings! I had been wearing them all day. They didn’t even remotely look like one another. Adam just looked at me and said, “You know, you are real mess.”

Then, this morning I was filling out some medical paperwork. One of the questions said:

Since your pregnancy have you been exposed to the following:

• Medications (vitamins not included)


• Insulin


• Seizure Medication


• Street Dogs


• Alcohol


• Cigarettes

Yes, STREET DOGS. I thought it said Street Dogs (it actually said street drugs) and it made perfect sense to me. Street dogs can carry rabies and they can be very vicious. You don’t want to be near street dogs when you are pregnant because you never know what they will do. Thank goodness I haven't been exposed to street dogs or street drugs.
