Side Effects

I have a sister and several friends who have been pregnant in the last few years.  I have always heard of the side effects, i.e., mood swings, emotional, baby brain, etc.  When I first found out I was pregnant, I read that I would be experiencing all kinds of mood swings.  Well, since I am moody by nature, I haven't really noticed a difference.  Let me tell you about the two things I have noticed.

1) Emotional/Hormonal.
I read this will also happen to you and you may not even realize. Well, the other night...feeling completely  normal (except for the constant nausea), I cried...during Sex and The City!

It was the scene of Miranda's moms funeral--Carrie joined her down the aisle and they looked up and saw Steve and Aiden. Sad episode, but still, I have probably seen that episode no less than 15 times.  I do cry in movies and stuff...but not SATC. HORMONES! 

2) Baby Brain

I have always heard that you tend to forget things when you are pregnant.  I have a few friends that are forgetful by nature, so I thought "baby brain", they finally have a  valid excuse.  I didn't know how much it would effect me or when...but it has definitely started.  I can't remember where I put things, if I am repeating a story, etc.  The biggest (and probably silliest), I cannot remember which towel on the towel rack is for my hair and for my body. 

I know that seems crazy...but I have my two towels on the towel rack and every morning I have to really think which one is which. A few weeks ago...it was second nature.  AM I LOSING MY MIND? Yes, probably. I blame it on BABY BRAIN!
