Mommy brain...it stinks. I thought I was pretty lucky because I didn't notice and increase in my forgetfullness when I was pregnant. I had always heard of "pregnancy brain." So, I was so excited to not be a victim of it. Well...I counted by blessings a little early because now it is worse than ever. I can't stay focused on anything and I forget everything. My house is dirtier than it has ever been...and I'm still home with Cason. My forgetfullness trapped me in an embarassing situation today. I dropped Cason off at Mandy's so I could go to Wal-Mart, because I had been 3 times in the last 2-3 weeks and still hadn't got everything on my list from the first trip. Well, I had my buggy completely full of merchandise and had it unloaded onto the belt and grabbed my wallet to get my debit card. IT WASN'T THERE. So, I went to grab my check book and...IT WASN'T THERE EITHER. I couldn't believe it. What was I going to do. Of course, I called Chris and of course, he couldn't get away right then. I called my mom and she was able to leave so she hurried up there and payed for my stuff. It was humiliating. While I was waiting on my mom a lady that works in the HR dept at the hospital got in line behind me. I was even more humiliated. So, I'm not sure what it is, possible sleep deprivation, but I have noticed a definate change since Cason has arrived.

We are still working on the sleeping through the night. I'm horrible at letting him cry. He sounds so pitiful. We have had a couple of 4-5 hour periods so I think we are definately making steps in the right direction. My mom said she was told when my sisters were little that when a baby reaches 12# they should sleep through the night. Well, he should be 12# probably this weekend so we will see. Keep your fingers crossed.
