A Different Kind of Pregnancy Brain

It's kind of amazing how an impending baby can make you think about everything.  It makes me look at my days and think about how they will change.  It makes me think about money in a different way.  It makes you think about holidays and traditions (or lack of).  Having a baby is going to change our lives. Radically. And not even in a bad way, but in very good, exciting ways, but it is exciting and even scary to think about.  It makes you question everything, at all hours. 

The last post I wrote was all about how I've been questioning my time.  The next few posts I write will focus on a few other things in my life that having a baby is causing me to reflect on.

What were the biggest things that changed when you had your first child?

It is that common, it does happen to everyone, and it’s not a big deal


Pregnancy brain.

It’s real.  It’s a symptom of pregnancy.

All your blood in my body is focused on the baby and not on going to my brain.  And my husband will tell you that pregnancy brain is a total real thing, and I have it, BAD.

I forget everything, even if I write it down.  I can’t remember things, and my brain is not the same as my brain before my pregnancy.

So what do I do?  I laugh at it and I accept it.

Enjoy this comic from pregnancyhumor.com, I like to call it: Your Brain on Baby.
