Cleaning my Monitor

You are not going to believe what my baby infected brain did today. You may or may not know about the alleged baby brain. No one knows what causes it or if it's really real. But every woman who has ever been pregnant will tell you that she can not retain information, or she fumbles words, forgets the names of her loved ones, or even what she did an hour before. Well mine experience with baby brain was a little more interesting then that.

I was sitting peacefully at my desk, content with the warm cup of decaf I had just made for myself and took a big gulp while reading an e-mail a co-worker had just sent me. Only in a matter of seconds I had already forgotten that I had just filled my mouth with liquid and decided to let out a big sigh. As i heaved out my giant sigh from my lungs I also splurged out the entire contents of my mouth. I spit hot coffee all over my computer monitor! I figured out my error mid spit and rapidly closed my mouth hoping I managed to control some of the damage but the mess was already done. Theodora, the girl sitting next to me sat there staring at me in bewilderment. Then she laughed and asked me the obvious question... "Why did you just spit all over your computer?!" Just keeping things interesting... that's all.

Oh Baby The Places You Will Go

June 9

Your daddy has taken to calling you Monster as of late. I guess Poppy didn't suit you any more. I think Monster is kinda of cute though so I get the feeling that nick name is going to stick.

I saw your cousins Leigh Anne and Hayden on the weekend. They gave me a book to read to you while your are in my belly. It's called Oh Baby the Places You will Go by Dr. Seuss. I'm supposed to read it to you as often as I can while you are all cozied up in my tummy. Studies show that if I do this now, once you are born and I read it to you out loud you will recognise the story. This will apparently create a bond between us early on in your life. But I forgot it at Leigh's house!!!! Of course I did! I can't remember anything any more. I had no idea how bad the so called Baby Brain would be. But everything they say is true. I can't retain any thing any more. My short term memory has taken a temporary leave of absence for an undisclosed period of time. So for now, until I get my book back I sing to you. I hope you like The Mocking Bird song! Because you are going to be hearing a lot of it.
