Being Pregnant

I absolutely love everything about being pregnant: the flutters in my stomach, getting things ready, doctor visits, etc. There's just 1 thing about being pregnant that is a downfall... the internal furnace. I have the luxury of being pregnant all throughout the summer (being as Greenlee's due date is September 17th). Now I am naturally hot natured, but this is crazy. I have to sleep out from under the covers with 3 (yes 3) fans blowing (ceiling fan, box fan in front of the air vent, & one on my night stand). Poor Justin, he freezes, all bundled up under the covers. Today had to be one of the worst days yet. Sitting in our office looking up addresses for my baby shower invitations, I broke out into a sweat. Now I'm a traditional southern girl- we don't sweat, we glisten! But today was not the case... I had to turn on our air and stand in front of another fan and have it blowing on me as fast as possible.
Another part of being pregnant that I really don't understand is the "Baby Brain". There are some days that I can't remember my name and other days I'm fine. Now that I'm out on Summer/ Semester Break, it's not so bad. But when I was working during the week there were 2 things I could never remember if I did or not; 1) unplug my hair straightener; 2) shut the garage door. I could unplug the straightener, walk into the kitchen, and turn around and walk back into the bathroom to double check. There were several times that I would either leave the house, get down the road, and turn around to come home to check the garage door or I would get Justin to call his brother to get him to look and see if I did shut it or not.
To all those that are pregnant, I understand everything that you're going through. And to those that are trying or anticipating getting pregnant, look what you have to look forward to.
