Pregnant brain

There is something about being pregnant that makes me so forgetful. There is real science behind this widely accepted idea.. Not that I know anything more than that about it. I
Don't know if it was the same with my first pregnancy.. Haha I can't remember. But this time it is pretty bad. I forget everything... I couldn't remember my age when a girl at work asked me, I always forget what I a, looking for when I walk into a room and today I was getting gas and started to drive off while it was still hooked to my car pumping gas! Seriously?! Yes I am losing it.

I start pumping gas, get back in the car, sit there for a few minutes wonder why I am still sitting there, turn on my car and start pulling out of the stall...... Then I here a POP. And I realized oh wait I wasn't done.... So I back up to assess the damage. At first i thought my car was gonna blow up or the pump. I had no idea. But when I picked up the hose it was still at attached to the pump and the screen was reading"thank you for your purchase" so it obviously figured out I was done. I was so embarrassed hope no one noticed and drove off. At least nothing broke. I think I am gonna have my husband fill the car with gas from now on.... Or at least until I make it to the Land of Oz to get me a brain from the wizard...

Happy birthday Ava

I can't believe I now have a 3 yr old! She is growing up so fast and she is so smart and funny. She goes to preschool and can write her name and count to 10 and knows her alphabet! I am so proud of her.
For her 3rd birthday party I had a million ideas but being pregnant I didn't have the energy or motivation to carry out any of them. So we decided to do a little friend party at Kangaroo Zoo, agin indoor bounce house place. It turned out perfect and Ava had the time of hr life. And I didn't have to stress myself over the party this year and that was pretty good too.
