Call it baby brain, but I forgot a lot of things about being pregnant. I mean really what is wrong with me, I was pregnant only 15 short months ago. For real, I should know this stuff. Here is my list of 11 things I forgot about when you are pregnant....
1. THE LOOK! When I (or we) tell someone that we are expecting again they immediately look at my belly. Which is hilarious, I love it. I do it too when people tell me, but somehow I forgot that this happens.
2. THE DREAMS! Oh my goodness, are you kidding me, pregnancy dreams are the wackiest ever. I have had some crazy ones ALREADY! The other night I dreamt that one of my high school classmates died of cancer, which is random, this person is healthy as a horse! Then I dreamt (right when we found out I was expecting) that I kissed a high school boy. HELLO COUGAR! I didn't know this kid, but I kissed him. Random I know, I have had some bad (scary) dreams too. Its hard to explain to Kameron how vivid they are and how well I remember them. Next time he can get pregnant so he can experience them! :)
3. BABY BUMP! Okay they say the more kids you have the faster your "bump" bumps out. Well that is true, I think i was like 3 days "officially" pregnant and here comes the belly! I was in maternity clothes faster this time than with either of my other 2 pregnancies. I actually tried to pull of regular jeans the other day, got down the hallway, turned around and got my full panel maternity capris on, just better for me to be comfy! :)
4. CRAVINGS! Now I am not the pickles and ice cream pregnancy lady, but I do get some deep cravings for things. My last pregnancy it was Munch em's. I mean really they are good but I must have ate 2 million bags-we are talking family size bags not snack size! :) Lately I have been craving cinnamon butter, it was a special at our grocery store for a short time and now I cannot find it anywhere. Trust me I would give anything for that tub to have with my toast! :)
5. HIPS! These hips don't lie. I am pregnant. They are out of place every single minute! I use my exercise ball every day and it feels good on them but once I am off the ball, they are out of place again. So my choices are either live on the exercise ball or buck up and deal with these crazy hips! :)
6. PAINS! When you are pregnant you get strange pains all over your body, I mean after all you are growing a PERSON inside of you, its only right that you would hurt a little! :) When i get up from a chair too fast I have to sit down again and let the pain go away, i need to move like I am 100 not 33! :)
7. ROCKIN'! For some crazy reason I rock when I am pregnant. If I am standing in one position I will rock back and forth, typically holding my belly. I am pretty sure I don't do this other times, only when I have a bun in the oven! :)
8. WADDLE! I will admit it I am a waddler, I look like duck. I told Kameron I was gonna do my best not to waddle at in with this baby, however, I know I am occasionally waddling already! Its okay, its cute to waddle now, but after the baby comes, no more waddling! :)
9. NESTING! I love to organize things, that is no secret. Now that I am "with child" I am taking things out of a cupboard and putting them in another that makes more sense to me. Poor Kameron never knows where to find his favorite cooking tool. Sometimes I don't even remember where and change it back the next day! :)
10. NAPPING! Who doesn't love napping? Well besides kids, ALL adults love to nap, we are tired people. I hated naps as a kid, i mean really I would have missed something if I napped! :) However, I am pretty famous now for taking a morning nap with Kynlee. I put her in her crib, I head to my bed and snuggle in. More times than not she wakes me up before I am ready to get up. However I believe a nap a day is keeping me sane! :)
11. BELLY RUBBIN'! I know most pregnant ladies don't like random people (or anyone for that fact) rubbin their bellies. I love it! I rub my own, let other people talk to the baby, rub my belly, whatever. It does not bother me. Many of you are shakin at the thought of this, but it really doesn't bother me at all. Rub, Rub, Rub away! :)
Well there you have it! :) My memory is finally back in the saddle, at least until my morning nap! :)
Enjoy your day, thanks for reading! :)

This post is old(ish), but I just discovered your blog by doing a google traffic search on my own blog. Thanks for visiting! I laughed at this post, because I can relate. I have VERY vivid dreams when I am pregnant. My first pregnancy, I was still teaching & had a dream that my husband cheated on me with a student of mine. It was SO real!! I woke up furious with him & couldn't even look at that student the next day. lol. Chiropractors work wonders with the hip thing too. Saved me on pregnancy #3. (She is 5 1/2 months old now). :) Best of luck with the remainder of the pregnancy(?) or Congrats if babe is already here! Again thanks for visiting IamwhatIam!
ReplyDeleteHey Cassie,
ReplyDeleteYou can make cinnamon butter really easily:
set however much butter (a stick or two) out on the counter until it's soft, then add to a bowl or kitchen aid. Add a little cinnamon (& likely white sugar) and whisk or paddle (if using kitchen aid) until well mixed. Taste it on something and if it's not right, add some more of whatever's missing. Keep in fridge & it will last forever! Viola!
