when you're pregnant, your brain shrinks.

it's true. a proven fact. thanks pregnancy hormones; thanks for making us forget everything and for shrinking our brain.

you would think that BAM, just as you have your sweet little baby and no longer have a stomach the size of watermelon, your brain would inflate to its normal size and you could remember things.

the answer is nope. it doesn't. it takes awhile. therefore, you still have stinkin' forgetful post-pregnancy moments.

take for example, just yesterday, i was headed out the door to drive over and hang out with my lovely friend rachelle and her adorable baby cayden, when i shut the door to our apartment, walk up the stairs, and realize as i'm about to go to the car that my keys are locked inside our house. we don't have spares. so, now i have no way to get in the car, let alone drive, and no way to retrieve my keys inside my now locked house. and i have my little baby in her carseat, crying. and it was raining outside.

:(

thanks shrunken brain.

don't worry - i remembered diapers.

and on the bright side, i have a wonderful husband who doesn't work far away and literally ran home in the rain to let us inside. thanks honey, you are the best.

here is us, all super happy that we locked our keys inside:



hopefully my brain inflates again.

  2. I think mine has yet to reinflate! ;) At least you'll have a good story to tell Lexi when she gets older, right!

  3. At least you remembered your phone. That's a good step right?
