Pregnancy Brain

Examples of the Pregnancy Brain in full swing...

1. I called Hubby on the way to Kohls to ask him if he wanted me to buy him a new pillow.  He said yes.  I went into Target, bought a couple things, went next door to Kohls, bought a couple things, and then left.  As I walked out of the store...CRAP.  The pillow!

2. I needed to find out some information about my 401k at work.  I found the website and then absolutely could not remember where I wrote down my user name and password.  I honestly had NO clue.  I broke it by trying to log in too many times. :(

3. I was emptying the clothes from the washing machine and putting them in the dryer.  The only problem was that I put them back in the basket with the dirty clothes instead.

4. I had a handful of things at the thrift store that I was going to buy.  I looked through everything one last time and then got in line to pay.  The next day, I was thinking about what I bought and realized that two things never made it home.  I have no idea if I paid for the two items or where they went!

Many more to come!

6 Weeks

Successfully made it through another week!  Just based on my symptoms and feeling like absolute CRAP, things are going in the right direction!

I told my boss and one friend at work because it's been so hard to hide it.  I keep letting things slip that I shouldn't and I don't even realize it.  It's also pretty obvious to anyone who knows me very well that when you see this on my desk, there's something going on.  My normal coffee & yogurt has been replaced by Club crackers (buttery goodness) and seltzer water.  I've also been spending a lot of time in the bathroom resting so I don't feel so horrible all day.

I loved this Wee Mail that I got during the week.  It was really hard not to crave beer all the time at first.  But now that I feel sick all the time, I don't even want it.

The bloating is happening a lot faster than I thought.  I actually second-guessed my due date based on how "big" my stomach was on Thursday.  I really don't want to touch a belly band until after I've been to the doctor, but I still have more than a week to go.  Also, I need to find me some comfy LONG maternity yoga pants because that sounds really nice right now.

So besides the fact that I feel like crap and am really tired, everything is going well!

Our Weekend

We had a somewhat restful weekend as it was the first one where I was really starting to feel the pregnancy symptoms.  On Saturday, we went to Home Depot and then stopped at Portillo's for lunch.  A hot dog with a poppyseed bun (one for me and one for Connor) really hit the spot!  Connor loved watching the people make his hot dog in the window.

Daddy had a lot of house work to do and Connor was a wonderful helper!  They cleaned the garage together and I stopped in a few times to play and help with things.  Daddy let Connor color with chalk on the garage floor which was a genius way to enjoy outdoor activities inside!

I didn't feel very good, but Connor hung out with me in the kitchen while Daddy made a fancy dinner of southwest eggrolls with cashew dip.

On Sunday, Daddy and Connor continued with the work in the house.  Connor helped carry the tools into the house and watched Daddy nail some trim back on the wall.

They also worked on caulking the shower together.  Now this is what I like!  The boys work and I rest :)
