Blabberings of Motherhood

I am sure we have all heard the saying from Forrest Gump "life is like a box of Chocolate, you never know what you are going to get". I do agree you never know what you are going to get in life, but isn't life about what you make of it?
Recently my husband and I have found out that we are pregnant, and are due in the middle of July. Which means Kristen is not always a happy camper, she is usually exhausted and you better not try to take food from her otherwise she will stab you in the hand with a fork! With that being said, my poor brain has become quite scattered and sometimes formulating a thought into verbal communication is like speaking Chinese to an American who only speaks English. I have liken myself to Porky the Pig when trying to talk, I understand this is called Mommy Brain and it will/can last up to a year after the baby is born. My only complaint about that is it wouldn't be so bad if I wasn't an intelligent person who has been turned into a blabbering idiot. My dear husband has found this to be rather amusing and loves to point out mistakes I have made while talking, which we all know isn't fair to me since I honestly can't remember what I said let alone how I said it. I can barely recall what I ate for breakfast that day.
So along with not being able to speak a coherent sentence, I am also having incredibly strange dreams. So strange and weird that I never get past REM sleep and go into my pre pregnancy deep sleep at all, so I wake up almost as exhausted as when I went to bed. I have tried taking 20 minute naps, no go right into the REM I go and thats it. Of course is all hormonal and all I can ask and pray for is it to calm down so I can get some rest throughout the night. Katherine always wants to hear about my strange and weird dreams, so I sugar coat them for her and tell her what is appropriate for a 5 year old to hear. Her usual response is putting her hands on my cheeks and telling me it will be ok and that she loves me, which is very sweet even though her hands are usually dirty. LOL
