Pregnancy Brain

According to google:

"Pregnancy brain is a condition that affects expectant mothers, usually during the first and third trimesters. Sometimes known as placenta brain or baby brain drain, the condition is usually characterized by short-term memory loss or forgetfulness. Some medical experts say that pregnancy brain is a myth, but evidence shows that many women have experienced this condition."

Here are some of the ways I am doing my part in proving that pregnancy brain is real:

1. After running the tub the other night for about 5 minutes, I realized the water hadn't gotten very full. Then I noticed that I never put the drain stopper in.

2. After writing a check, I noticed I was on the last check in that book. I ordered brand new checks without remembering that I had an entire box of checks at home. So now I am the proud owner of 2 sets of checks with the same exact #s on them.

3. One day at 5:00 pm I noticed that I had been wearing my shirt backwards for the entire day.

Here are a couple of pictures of me and my pregnant brain and belly at 21 and 22 weeks:

I feel like I am much bigger much sooner this time around, but I have been told that's common. I can feel the baby move quite a bit now, which is neat. I go tomorrow for a checkup at the doctor's. I can't remember when they start measuring you with the tape measure. Maybe that will happen this time. If it does, I will post an update.
