How quickly we forget! This is no joke. Today I was going to blog about baby names, I had a few fun things to bring up that I'd been thinking of all week long. As I sat down to write it on this Friday morning I could not come up with a single one. Very upsetting! At a recent family gathering I forgot a story I was going to tell after the introduction. Don't worry - I have lots of people around me during the news, it seems to only happen at home. It's pregnancy fog!

That is why I am SO thrilled to learn about another study showing that pregnancy causes forgetfulness. Wow, and just this week my mother was trying to tell me that I am getting to the age where you start really losing your memory. What a relief and I have scientific proof to show my mom. :)

The study by Australian researchers of more than 1,000 women showed that pregnant women do have a slight loss of memory, which can continue up to a year after birth.
I can see the real fun is just beginning in my journey! I hope I can remember to buy post its for the many lists I will now have to make.

Friends keep asking me and my husband if we are going to take a "babymoon." Have you heard of this? We now have. It's a take on the honeymoon - meant to give us a getaway before the baby arrives. I know my life is about to change forever and I am thrilled, I have waited a long time for this. But I have decided to pass on the trip. Instead I am sending my husband on a golf trip with his Plainville High School buddies who now live all over the country. I hope that he has a great time and plays well.

I have no hard feelings at all. I will have leave after the baby is born, but he will not. He is already a hands-on dad to two sons and I know he will be there to help me in so many ways.

I am trying to use my time every weekend to shop for baby items and prepare. I thought I had plenty of time, but a few people have told me I'd better get going, ordering the furniture, the crib, etc! And the thought of travelling right now isn't appealing to me. Hey I can wait four years for a Disney vacation. I'm joking, I am already thinking of how flying south with a baby would be next fall and winter!
