Baby Brain

So everything they say about baby brain during pregnancy is totally true, I'm telling you I can't remember anything, which is bad because my ADHD brain normally has trouble remembering things. Just like posting on this blog, I keep having random thoughts I want to post on here and then I get to work with my great ideas get off topic and poof another day goes by where I don't remember to update the blog for any of those readers out there and for me to remember all the changes and fears and whatnot I have during this pregnancy.

I have tentatively made the switch to preggo pants. I find that my regular pants are slightly tight and I can wear them when I'm not at work but since my job entails me sitting down for eight hours nearly straight I can't stand how snug they get by the middle of my shift. Of course seeing as how feel like I barely have a belly (due to the overeating of sweets in my year and a half journey to get here and depressed eating) since I already carry my weight in pretty much the exact place that baby grows. I am finally able to eat with regularity which is but now I'm hungry all the time and some days it's for junk food and some days it's for healthy food. I find that I still shy away from most protein sources (ie: meat) because there's just something that turns me off from them so I've been trying to get protein from cheese and yogurt and the occasional meat like product. Most of the time I really want veggies or a grilled cheese so those have become a huge part of my diet. I'm trying to not let myself go too crazy with the sweets and lucky for me I get heartburn if I get out of control so that prevents me from doing so.

I also have been finding my energy levels on some days being much better than before, but then again there are days where I'm just pooped. I assume this is my body preparing me for motherhood. The other weird and slightly annoying thing (besides waking up to pee at least once or twice a night!) is that my mouth always tastes funny so I'm eating tic tacs like it's my job (not a huge gum fan). It's even to the point where sometimes food tastes funny to me and I know it shouldn't.

Lastly we finally started our daycare search. It took me awhile to convince N that it was important to do it now (he pretty much shut down when I tried even talk about it). So far we've found a couple of places that we've liked and are on waiting lists at those places. This is probably my biggest stressor right now because it's so up in the air. I can plan for a lot of things (and boy do I like planning) but I have to just wait and see and hope that we figure out a solution.

Next appointment is on Monday and the big ultrasound is on Dec 6th. I'll try and be better about updates!
