Baby-brain

[pen_grunt]

I would say that pregnancy brain is a Real Thing except that this isn't the first time I've taken frozen meals out of the freezer with the intent to take them to work and, instead, left them on the kitchen counter/stove/table. (I get distracted by Other Things--in this case, watering the windowsill herbs.)

D'oh.

I did accidentally try to condition my hair with facewash the other week...but that isn't the first time I've done that either. (When I'm very tired my brain kind of goes splat on the order of operations in the shower...things are conditioned twice...faces are shampooed...etc.)

wait for mommy brain. I didn't think it was a real thing then I started misplacing my keys/wallet all the time.

I'd believe it. I honestly cannot tell how much of this is pregnancy related and how much of it is just me being more tired than usual and therefore more scattered than usual.

You are still tired? How far along are you? You should soon stop feeling that way.

I'm only tired because I'm still getting up a few extra times during the night and I'll sometimes have trouble getting back to sleep again. I'm not getting the heavy, inexplicable fatigue anymore. I'm alllllmost 16w.

The heavy, inexplicable fatigue returns at weeks 41-88, as far as I can tell.

I'm pretty sure at that point it becomes entirely explicable. :)
