Baby Brain

Baby Brain


It's real!

It continues from pregnancy right the way through till your child is in their twenties (so I've been told)! 

I've always been a bit 'dippy', done some fairly silly things which some would blame on baby brain IF I had actually been pregnant at the time. I have washed bananas - yes with the skin still on, I have hung out the washing - which was still dirty, I have nearly broke my skull trying to look out my car window, I once drove around on my moped with an A4 piece of paper and a packet of crisps stuck on the top of my helmet and I once walked around the supermarket looking for minge (the handwritten list actually said mince). 

It's safe to say I was not looking forward to this so called baby brain. My normal brain was bad enough.

Thankfully I don't think I've done anything too silly yet. The main way I've been affected is forgetting things. I've gone out leaving the front door wide open, left the fridge door open 4 times, the freezer 2 times and waited for the kettle to boil that wasn't plugged in. I put these more down to tiredness than anything else. 

The best has to be when me and mum got in the lift at Primark, I pressed the button, we then stood in it for 5 minutes before it finally opened, we got out looked around and then finally realised we were on the same floor... A man stood outside waiting for his wife, he had seen us walk into the lift then heard us standing in it (going no where) talking to each other, then exit the lift, look around and wonder why they were selling the same things on a different floor, then the penny dropped and we waited for the lift again. Safe to say he decided to walk away laughing and kept a safe distance from the strange women with the baby who seemed to like the lift. May have been one of those 'you had to be there moments' but if I write it here then in years to come I can read it back and have a little giggle to myself. I pressed the right button the second time.

I'm sure there will be more to add in the days/weeks/months to come. 

God help me!
God help us all!

P.s. - Who needs to go to the health visitor to get the baby weighed.... Pah!

If Carlsberg Made.......

If Carlsberg Made....... Why oh why do men think us mums know the answers to everything when it comes to our babies? I mean, I know I stay at home with her all the time while I am on maternity leave, but it doesn't mean I'm a baby psychic! No, I know it isn't all men, some of you are super lucky to have a man who dives into those dirty nappies, insists he runs you a bath with candle light while he takes care of the baby for an hour and puts his own laundry in the wash. Lucky you!   But reality for me isn't the same, as you may have read throughout my blog. I love my partner a huge amount but boy is he a challenge.  'If Carlsberg Made Men, they were probably too drunk by the time they got to mine....' So that wonderful question he has asked me more times than I can count. "Why won't the baby stop crying?" I have had many different responses, here are 3 of my favourite, 1. If I...

Who's In There?

Who's in There? Once upon a time there was a baby in my belly! God, that feels like a long time ago now, but it was only 8 weeks ago! How does the time go so fast when you become a mum?! I was lucky and wasn't too big considering I was at the end of my pregnancy. I was still walking the dogs (which I probably shouldn't have been), running up and down the stairs, tidying and hoovering like my life depended on it and to top it all off I had the mother of all colds! My due date was five days away and I got my first pains, they kept me up all night, so I rang the delivery suite to be told it was probably false labor. I sat there thinking, how the heck am I supposed to know if it isn't false! The next day the pains had subsided and I put my feet up and felt quite silly for ringing them.  Three days from due date the pains returned and I was curled up on the sofa, Jamie (my other half) insisting I ring the delivery suite again. I certainly didn't ...

Gateway To Insanity

Gateway To Insanity Roll up, roll up. Come and witness the show of all time. Running around to the 'Benny Hill' tune is me, once again chasing after everyone and everything. I really sometimes feel as though I have triplets, the only thing is two of them have four legs and are very hairy! The other one is Jamie. My actual child doesn't count just yet as she is still very much static.  My life, as you may have read so far, is in fact full of looking after, chasing after and picking up after 4 creatures. Creature number one - farts a lot, wiggles a lot and poops a lot. Creature number two - pees everywhere, loses my mugs and smells funny. Creature number three - very hairy, chases females and gets in my way. Creature number four - pinches my food, sits in my seat and licks his bits. Now looking back at the description of those four I will let you figure out who is who. (The scary thing is Jamie could actually be any of them)! Yes, I'm a bad ...
