I had it really badly when I was pregnant, and even worse after our oldest was born. I had just regained some semblance of normalcy when I got pregnant again. But the second time around wasn't as bad as the first. Or maybe I never recovered as much as I thought I did.

That's why they want women taking fish oil or whatever. It helps the brain. Also, as Anne Lamott says, babies come out clutching 1/3 of your brain. I've had 3 kids.

It's time kids got some of it :-)<br /><br />@Que-My husband gained 10 pounds when I got pregnant! Of course it may have been all the tortilla chips & salsa I ALWAYS had in the house when I was pg (come to think of that may explain the heartburn too!).<br /><br />@myevil-LOL!

I EVEN gained several pounds. And that was when my WIFE was pregnant. I can't even imagine what it would have been like if that had been me. :)<br /><br />Great story though.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09986167130467258392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-334632485304709507.post-13354361616105967182011-02-11T11:38:37.721-05:002011-02-11T11:38:37.721-05:00I love this-because it's funny.

I find some of my brain cells returning as my twins get a little bit older, but I still find myself forgetting things so often. As I was writing my Red Writing Hood post, there were several times I had to stop and literally search my brain for the word I was wanting to use. Oh well, as I always say, at least those babies are cute and so worth it! :DSonorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14157673100145462827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-334632485304709507.post-50070218557182052662011-02-11T08:26:43.620-05:002011-02-11T08:26:43.620-05:00It is so true!!

It gets worse over 40! <br />I had friends telling stories of a party we attended over 15 years ago-stories in great detail...I thought oh, how funny, until they told me I was there! No I wasn't! Yes- I was...they pulled out pictures...and sure enough, there I was in the middle. <br /><br />No. recollection. At. All!!<br /><br />Great prompt writing! :)Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18014210424987382382noreply@blogger.com
