“mommy brain” – it’s a justification for why I forget things. I haven’t used it myself but our secretary uses it often to justify why I forget things. I think there is some truth to the “mommy brain”. My body is too busy making a little person to remember why I walked into my boss’ office.
“but I’m pregnant” – it’s a good thing to say when the husband is giving me a hard time for not riding my bike to work (6+ miles each way, uphill both ways) or when I want to watch something on tv while he wants to channel surf. It doesn’t work 100% of the time but it’s pretty effective.
“it’s what the baby wants” – one of my favorites. This is usually 100% effective but I try not to overuse it. Unfortunately the husband now claims to also know what the baby wants and it’s often in contradiction to what I understood the baby to want (Indian food for dinner, going for a walk).
Matt and I already claim to know what other people/animals/things are thinking or saying ("The cat wants you to go to the strip club? How do you know?" "He told me" okay, maybe that example is a little far-fetched, but that's the general idea). I can't imagine how much that will intensify someday when we're interpreting an unborn baby's wishes/demands! Also, I like the term "Mommy brain" much better than "Preggo brain"
ReplyDeleteMommy brain probably starts right away and it basically continues until the kids move out of the house. There was a commercial Andy and I would get a kick out of: Some lady would be running along the reservoir in Central Park, and as she was running, she would think, "I can't concentrate, maybe I'm pregnant..." The commercial was for a pregnancy test.
ReplyDeleteMatt must have given the cats some good catnip to get them into agreeing that he should go to a strip club. I can totally imagine that. Hee hee.
Uphill both ways huh? That implies that at least part of the route is downhill :P. Weather here is great right now...biked to Honest Abe the other day.
