I am a smart person. I know this, my friends know this, my family knows this (I am not saying this to brag, it's just who I am). I just value my personal education. I am someone who loves knowing everything about a subject so I can intelligently hold a conversation when the time comes. I am known for remembering events and planning things in advance. I was always that student who had a plan on what, when, and how to study. I was the student who told other students something was due in a week or that the midterm was approaching. I was always very on top of things.
For each of my pregnancies I had this symptom--pregnancy brain. With this rainbow pregnancy I have become incredibly stupid. I remember nothing. Daniel has to tell me things over and over again. He has gotten into the habit of saying things like "I told you this a week ago as well as this morning..." I always forget to move the laundry through. I even forget to feed and water the dogs (oops).
I now snicker when I schedule an ultrasound or a new doctor's visit and the receptionist asks if I want a reminder card. Well yes, please give me a reminder card for the appointment which takes place in a month so I will not forget!!!
So if I forget to answer a text that I read and was about to reply to but then forgot just as quickly, forgive me. If I don't call you back until a week later, forgive me. If I forget you were coming over, forgive me (and also don't laugh too hard as I scramble to find something more decent to wear than a robe). If I start a conversation then get an embarrassed look as I mumble "I forgot what I was talking about" then please forgive me...or laugh...that's what Daniel and I do.
There is one date I am absolutely determined to remember...the date of a friend's surgery. She has been there for me through both my miscarriages and I have been too sick to skype and I feel like a terrible friend. So I will not forget this date.
This baby better be ugly and brilliant!!!
