Uh . . . I'm back?

Wow . . . I don't really have any explanation for what has happened to me in the last 5 months. It is obvious that I have completely neglected this blog. Which is extremely sad considering how awful my memory is, and considering how many fun stories I could have told. But I am going to do my best to remember the highlights of the last few months, and just start from where I am.

The best explanation I can give for my Lazy Blogging Syndrome is that I suffered from Pregnancy Amnesia.

I don't think I am the only woman in the world who has had pregnancy amnesia. It's quite a phenomenon.  You see . . . after every baby is born . . . it's like I completely forget the first 3 or 4 months of pregnancy. All I remember is the last 5 months when I feel so great, my belly gets huge and cute, and everything is so fun while I wait for the baby to come. And this is why whenever the conversation of pregnancy comes up among women . . .and all the women are talking about how awful it is, I (with my Pregnancy Amnesia) usually chime in with comments like, "Seriously? I LOVE being pregnant!! It is so fun!"

And if Lamon is around when I brag about how unaffected I am by pregnancy, he will give me a look like, "Um . . . what are you talking about?"

You see Lamon gets Pregnancy Amnesia too. Only he forgets the last 5 months that are so AWESOME, and remembers the first four months that . . .well . . .  aren't so fun.

It is in those first few months that Lamon  has to turn into Mr. Mom . . .doing dishes . . .  laundry . . . cooking because most of the time I spend staring into the void trying not to throw up wondering "How on EARTH could I EVER FORGET this?" And it doesn't help that all of the conversations that Lamon tries to have with me during this time (no matter what the subject is) I respond with, "Ugh . . . I don't feel so good."

So ya, I wasn't really thinking about blogging for awhile there, but pregnancy amnesia is already settling in. I feel fantastic. I am safely into the fun part of pregnancy and am even still running a little bit . . . hopefully I can do that until the very end like I did with Tilson. But most importantly . . .  time to start writing! I will try to do some catching up with my blog. Because MAN there is some fun stuff to blog about!!!
