oops (in a good way)
I've been doing any number of ditzy things lately. Normally, I would blame it on stress. But I'm really not that stressed right now. So, I'm chalking it up to baby brain. I have no idea if this phenomenon has been scientifically studied, but many women I know testify to having experienced this during pregnancy. Here are some of the silly things I've caught myself doing:
*putting my croutons on my spaghetti instead of my salad
*walking up an extra flight of stairs thinking that was where I was going
*putting shampoo on my shower puff instead of soap
Most of the time, these are harmless, easily corrected mishaps. The other night, though, something really interesting happened. I was putting Micah to bed and forgot to put on his nighttime pull-up. He'd still been wetting those at night so we've kept him in them. But then I forgot to put one on, and guess what? He stayed dry all night long! He was the one to point it out in the morning, too, in his proudest big-boy manner. So, we've kept the pull-up off and for three straight nights he's stayed dry. Thanks to baby brain, my son may now be fully potty-trained. Go figure!
