Pregnancy Brain. It's not a myth.

It’s NOT! For the first time EVER I’ve required a diary to write appointments in else I’ll forget them. Some of the dopier things I’ve done so far (in no particular order):
1. Put the ice cream in the fridge.
2. Put my top on back-to-front twice in the past week – and actually left the house like that. I’d wondered why my neck was so damn itchy.
3. Forgot my name. OK, that’s deffo #1. It was only for a split second though, before I remembered it. I swear to you. The girl at Boost Juice got a lot of mileage out of that one. Not that I blame her.
4. Forgot how old I was. But, hell, I used to do that even before I got preggo. Once you hit 30, you know…
5. Put salt in my coffee. It didn’t taste very good.
6. Forgot the difference between the brake and the accelerator. Don’t tell Husband this one, though – I’ll get a thorough rousing.
Oh, the fun of it! To explore one’s inner-blonde* and have an excuse! Whooops, sorry, I’m PREGNANT, you see!!!! Thoroughly wonderful.
I thought of a lot more PB moments yesterday, but, whaddyaknow, I’ve forgotten them! Pregnant!...
I have been laughing a lot more these days – long and heartily, even while I’ve been sick. Everything seems funny (well everything with the possible exception of Daryl Somers) I think it must be all those yummy happy hormones throbbing throughout me. Either that, or those mushrooms from Preston Market were expensive for a reason.
* No offence to blondes intended.
