I had completely forgotten how ridiculously stupid I get when I am pregnant although it is nice to at least have an excuse for the next 7 months for odd behavior and loss of everyday works like the word plum. Plum. P-L-U-M. I was staring right at the darn thing and I could not for the life of me remember the name of this little purple fruit that I see every Sunday at the grocery store. Amazing. So this brings me to "pregnancy moments" because it seems like I am always having a moment of some kind. At least now they have a name... for awhile anyway. So a few of my favorites just in the last week alone:
Moment #1
I have washed my face with shampoo the last two mornings in a row. Seriously. What is that about? One says Olay and the other says Dove. One is on the top rack and the other is waaaayyy at the bottom. How does this happen?
Moment #2
Agreeing to pay CVS $160.00 for a prescription for prenatal vitamins. Granted the moment I handed my card over I regretted this and got my money back. Apparently (and this might count as a moment too) you can buy over the counter prenatal vitamins and I had no idea. How did I not know this?? Did I somehow forget am I just that unobservant?
Moment #3
Gagging violently and very loudly immediately upon entering Andrew's summer daycare and then crying out even louder "Did someone vomit in here or what?". I was greeted by the director who kindly advised that they had just waxed the floors and asked "are you okay ma'am?" while Andrew looked on horiffied by his mother's embarrassing display. I then abandoned him and I do mean litterally abandoned him because he later told me that I left him all alone and he was scared (or did he say scarred?). So I fled to his empty classrom and introduced myself to the tiniest toilet I have ever seen just long enough to revisit my breakfast. Afterwards I had to walk down the hall of shame car passing teachers and parents who all had that "awww poor thing" look. A few had the "ewww what is up with her" look. At least I have an excuse and when I start showing I can finally prove it.

The good ole days of being pregnant and all the wonderful things that come along with it. Thank goodness I never had morning sickness, but I did have lapse of judgement and memory loss. I still don't think I have all of my memory back, maybe that is why my kids are so smart. I hope that the morning sickness goes away soon and that the rest of your pregnancy is uneventful. Love you!!
