Where is my brain?!


For those of you who have ever been pregnant, you have probably asked this question. I am to a point now where all I do is apologize or yelp in frustration at my forgetfulness. It really is becoming a problem. The reason I put the question in the subject line is because I keep forgetting how many weeks we are OR what month we are now in. Shame, I was never one to remember dates but really, forgetting when Jeremy's due date is is a bit much don't ya think?!

I have always had a photographic memory. I have never been great with dates or names but have been pretty okay .... that is up until now. Now I can barely remember if I have met someone. What's with this brain thing? My parasite should be super smart when he arrives. Hopefully my loss of brain power means his increase. I guess we shall wait and see.

As for updates...
Jeremy is officially 1 lb and 12 oz. YEA!!! He is right on track for his "age". Everything is developing right nicely for my baby boy. It should be, he "eats like his daddy"! I'm telling you, it's a wonder I am not gaining a lot of weight. Every time I turn around he is "hungry" again. I have never been this hungry in all of my life. What gives? Last night I refused to go back downstairs a second time to get something to eat. I just ate the peanuts I keep at my bedside. Can I say how sick of those peanuts I am getting?! Peanuts, crackers, wheat thins, even cookies I am starting to hate. I hate being such a picky eater. Man, if it was true that pregnant women really do have interesting cravings I would be good to go... maybe a pickle with peanut butter like my little sister suggests.

Other updates..... I am fine, only gained a few pounds, but it's better than losing. Everything else is looking good so far. I took my glucose test yesterday. Sometimes, husbands can be the best things in the world... other times... hmmmm. My husband decided to remind me at least five times what time I needed to start drinking the syrup (as I like to call it). Then he stood there and watched me drink it, and had the nerve to say, "make sure you drink it all", like I had a choice. I love him so much. I know so many women do not have this support so I am not complaining, I just love the irony in our roles with this pregnancy. Hopefully all of my tests will come back with great results.

Last thing to note, so Sunday night as I was lying in bed watching TV, Jeremy was doing the strangest things. I can hardly describe it. It was not kicking or punching it was SO much more. I had to call my sister and hubby because I said I can actually feel his entire body moving inside me. How weird and awesome at the same time. Hmmmmm I wonder how Kate Gosslin (Jon & Kate Plus 8) must have felt with 6 little bodies moving inside her. So weird and neat. It's an experience I will always remember.

Well until next time!
