It's almost Friday!

I guess I know I’m getting old when I am super excited to spend Thursday night in my PJ’s watching a new episode of Lost! Hey, it’s a great show and with the temperature dropping to -7 degrees tonight, staying in is the only thing I want to do! First I plan on going to my pre-natal yoga class, which I am also looking forward to. It’s been two weeks since I’ve been able to go so I am very excited to get back!

I don’t have much to report today. We had another snowstorm yesterday and I took lots of photos that I had planned to post today but unfortunately I forgot to add the memory card back into the camera so I have no photos. That’s what happens when you are pregnant and totally forgetful I guess. I’ve read that pregnant women get what’s called the “mommy brain” where they literally lose 10% of their brain capacity while pregnant which often manifests itself in forgetfulness. Kevin can attest that there is definitely truth to this theory in my case! Lets hope the 10% returns after Baby Duggan is born.

Baby brain' a real condition: study
“Pregnant women and new mothers really are more forgetful, researchers say. Australian researchers have confirmed women do become more forgetful during and after pregnancy.”

This isn't the study I read orginally, I think that was from the NY Times, but I can't find it now.


I’m also bummed I lost my photos because I had some very adorable photos of Lily. Lately Lily has been very clingy with me and wants to be near me more than normal. Kevin and I both think she’s aware I’m pregnant and while she may not understand what’s going to happen in July, she definitely knows that something is happening with my body and she is acting very sweet. Last night she curled up under a blanket with me and put her paw over me. You’ll have to just picture it since we have no actual photographs, but trust me it was extremely cute!

Enjoy your Thursday and hopefully tonight I’ll remember to add the memory card back into the camera!
