Pregnancy and the Quest for Sanity
Is it possible to actually die from heartburn??? Geez! I have about a week and a half to go before my due date…I’m not sure that my esophagus is going to make it. It’s also fun getting about three hours of INTERRUPTED sleep a night. I think that I’m starting to go a little bonkers. I have the attention span of a rabid tree squirrel and I can’t seem to focus on one task long enough to get anything done. Yesterday, I actually got distracted while I was doing laundry. I carried everything into the laundry room and then just left it there. I guess that the laundry fairies were supposed to actually put the clothes in the washer and turn it on. At 3:30 am this morning, I was surfing the web and I think that I found out what’s going on. There is actually something called Pregnancy Brain. Apparently, pregnancy can actually affect your short term memory. This is also compounded by the lack of sleep during the third trimester. At least I have a reason for loosing my mind!!

I know how you feel. The last few months are worse than you can imagine. I tried walking for miles to try to get my little to come on out and visit the world, but they have a mind of there own. I also never had hearburn until I got pregnant and thought I was dieing as well. “This too shall pass”, just keep that in mind.

LOL. I’ve tried walking too. The only thing that accomplished is to make my feet swell even more! ;P I know that all of this stuff is temporary, it just FEELS like it’s been going on forever!
