I am slowly losing my mind

I am! Slowly losing my mind! And or my memory. Hello. I've been up since 3:30AM! Crazy.
With our daily routine, house chores, potty training a three year old (success! I know, he's AWESOME;)- all this would be categorized as having "mommy brain". But throw in pregnancy (21!!!! weeks today) and I think it should have a different title. "Mommy (of 2 & another on the way, I am losing my mind) brain" or something similar. If you come up with a catchy title, fill me in.


Daily routine: Ellie is attending 4K, Monday thru Thursday, from 8-11AM. She is loving it. I am loving it. It's nice to have that little Mommy & Me time with my little man. I'm so worried that with the new baby, he'll suffer middle child syndrome. (it's 4:30AM)

Potty training Pooh went far better than expected. We started on November 1st and he caught on quick. Big sister regressed a little due to the extra attention little brother was getting. But nothing too major. She just wants some of the praises also. Which we're giving. We decided to go a different route than what we did for E. Praises, an occasional Happy Meal and a family night at the movies were the rewards, instead of peek-a-boo dollies (freakish looking miniature Barbies). Also, I did the naked potty training (from the waist down), he had a long t-shirt on to give som privacy. It worked.

Pregnancy: I am 21 weeks today. I am feeling my little pea pod be more active. Joy. I adore feeling little movements from him/her. I have an ultrasound appointment on the 29th of this month. We get to find out the sex but have decided to be surprised. I'm dying to know but will give it my all to not find out. This coming from the girl that would peek at her Christmas gift(s), rewrap and "act" surprise come Christmas morning.

Pregnant mommy brain: I feel so unorganized. I start one project but move on to another. I've been extremely tired (look, it's 5AM). I am getting behind on the laundry. It's like a mountain. I can't find my debit card. And I just paid a few (3) credit card payments that were due yesterday. Thus, the frantically waking up at 3AM because my mommy brain JUST remembered. (mental note to myself: call cc's and explain pregnant mommy brain)

But we're all healthy, warm, tummies fed and we're all loved. I can't whine about mommy brain too much. I am extremely blessed and extremely thankful for what God has given me.
