Losing my mind...

Well, I've officially experienced "pregnancy brain". Last week I tore a couple of recipes out of the latest Kraft magazine and set them on the island in the kitchen. They were there a good portion of last week... until Saturday. Saturday morning I picked them up... and I have no idea where I set them.

After Scott and I returned from nursery furniture shopping, I was going to plan out some meals for the coming week. I was hoping to try one of the recipes that I had found, but when I went to retrieve it from the island, it was gone (along with the others). As in vanished.

I looked EVERYWHERE for them. The office. My work bag. The recycling bin. The recipes must have vaporized because I can't find them anywhere. And of course, all those who know me know that it'd be difficult for me to misplace something in our house. After all, everything (but clutter) has a place in our home, so it's easy to notice when something's amiss.

Now here it is a week later and I'm still pondering their disappearance... and bemoaning the fact that I won't get to try the latest peanut butter chocolate brownie recipe.

yes, I, too, have had these moments over the past eight months. I am hoping they end when the pregnancy is over...but I've heard from reliable sources (my sisters! who've had 7 kids combined now) that the memory doesn't come back.

lately I can't remember words or people's names or other things I have always taken for granted that I know. I hope you are having a wonderful pregnancy.

btw, are you planning to take a birthing class? let me know, as we're trying to decide.
