On Brain Fog.
Do you know what brain fog is? Basically, it’s a state of not being able to do what you need to do because your thoughts are so fragmented. It’s bothersome for people whose jobs require them to make sense. I do freelance writing for spare change, and my productivity level is down in the pits. Some of the topics I write about are sort of technical, and to be able to combine fifty years of research into a 200-word overview is not the easiest thing to do (even when you DON’T have placenta brain).
Gosh, I could be making so much more money, but I really can’t get my head cleared until ...
HEY! It’s Wednesday! It’s free Durham resident day at the museum! Nah, I’m not showering today. I could go for some Chick-fil-A, though. They have drive-through. I wouldn’t even have to brush my teeth.
Wait. What?
Shit.
Oh.
Yeah—nighttime. Usually at around the time most people want to start winding down for the night is when my head finally clears. By that time I’m ready to plop on the sofa and watch the Duggars.
To make matters worse, I *still* haven’t experienced my second-trimester energy rebound, so not only am I a zombie in the intellect department, but I walk like one, too, ‘cause my body is still carrying the strain of the previous day’s shenanigans. With Rosco I definitely had a surge of energy after all that yucky sickness cleared away (not that I got anything done, but still). I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that around this time with Rosco I was drinking coffee (in moderation)...
Coffee might be my friend again soon or else I’ll be driving to Florida in a few weeks sleeping with my eyes open.
i got a rush of energy at the VERY begining of the 6 month month! :(
The first 6 months were full of sickness, heartburn, tiredness , pure S*** basically!
i thought it would never end!

We haven’t bought *anything* yet. Okay, that’s not quite true - I bought four skeins of yarn to make a blanket with, but that’s all. The next big purchase will be Rosco’s new bed, and then after we finish handing things down we’ll have to figure out what we need to buy new.
I guess we’re kind of slacking this go-round, heh.
i think thats really good! people waste A HELL OF ALOT OF MONEY on babies! and why? they grow out of everything so quikly!
i’m hoping to get pregnant too, i’ve only got the one, she’s 2 now! i suffer from PCOS , it took me 11 months getting pregnant !!
i’m so happy for you! and i hope everything goes well
