So Chris and I went and had ourselves a little baby! Now that Baby Jackson is here, we begin our adventures in parenthood. The good, the not-so-good, and the just plain dirty diapers – all for you to enjoy!

There's a reason they make the "Baby on Board" signs for your car...

I did some silly things when I was pregnant. See the blog posting from March. It’s called Baby Brain and I thought it would go away after Jackson was born. Well, guess what people – it doesn’t! In fact, it becomes something much more interesting: Mommy Brain! Mommy Brain is a combination of Baby Brain + Sleep Deprivation, which is just so much fun! Here’s a couple of the great things I have done with my newfound Mommy Brain:

1. I took a shower with my underwear on…the best part is that I knew something wasn’t right in the shower, but it actually took me about two minutes to realize what it was.

2. I wash a used disposable diaper. I had just changed Jack’s diaper first thing in the morning after Chris had left and I was getting up a load of Jack’s laundry. I remember picking up the diaper and thinking “I need to throw this away” but somehow it ended up in the washer. Luckily, it was a pee pee diaper and it showed me just how much Pampers can hold!

3. So, the other night, we had been out running errands and I was driving. It got too late for us to cook dinner (like 9PM), so we went to Chick-fil-a. Well, I’m sitting in line and I’m turning the lights on the car on and off because it just looks really dark outside. Chris says, “What are you doing?” I said, “I think there’s something wrong with the lights. I think they must be out because it’s so dark outside!” Chris then says, “Hey genius. You’ve still got your sunglasses on.”

The good news is that Mommy Brain doesn’t seem to cause you to do anything that would harm the baby. It’s just silly, stupid things that make for fun conversation! :)
