Lots Going On

I have full on pregnancy brain. I can't find my words and I am forgetting everything these days. Sometimes it's funny (for others to watch), but like on Wednesday it was so not. I wore a hairband - something that doesn't happen regularly and it literally threw me off my game. It was sunny when I was driving to work so I put my glasses on top of my head and put on my sunglasses. When I got to work, I couldn't find my glasses. I could see enough to not fall over or anything, but everything was a blur and in had a terrible headache from squinting. After work was when it happened. I had a hormonal breakdown. I was in the car with A. and i lost it. We were on our way to the rehearsal for my brother's wedding and the tears and emotional crying just started flowing. I was hysterical that I wouldn't be able to see the wedding and how I don't have time to get new glasses. We called my optometrist at home and figured out a plan. I calmed down a bit. The next morning I found my glasses on my nightstand. The stupid hairband confused me and inlet the house without them. I felt like a complete idiot.

I still needed to see the eye Dr as I have a cyst like thing on my lid and I needed a new prescription so I went Thursday after work. The cyst turns onto be no big deal, but it will need to be drained -OUCH, but more concerning was what else he found. Fluid is now around my macula. Apparently this is bad and can be cause by...................stress. Why would i have stress? Oh fuck. I have an appointment set-up for this week with the specialist to figure this all out.

Last night was the stagette for my soon-to-be SIL. Her andd her friends are all early twenties so I was sure that pregnancy and babies wouldn't be a huge topic of conversation. I was wrong. I overhears one of her friends saying something aboutnshe will never have a child and that of course she would have problems. I did interrupt to her and told her to not worry herself right now (she been married for a month). She said that today she was told by a OBGYN that she has a 40% chance conceiving. I again told her to not listen to an OBGYN and go see a RE if she has legitimate concerns. She then asked if I have " done the fertility meds" oh honey you have no idea..." yes". I left it at that as I didn't think it was the appropRiate time to get intoit, but plan to connect with her this weekend and help her understand her options and answer any questions she may have.

  4. Wow, that is indeed a lot going on. I hope you are able to relax a bit and enjoy the wedding. I know what you mean about pregnancy brain and being hormonal.
    And my DH had that fluid around the macula thing a while ago. It eventually cleared up on its own.

  6. Sorry about the pregnancy brain/glasses but I have to admit I laughed a bit while reading it - probably because I was also thrown by the littlest thing at times. Enjoy the wedding and the staycation!!

  7. I hope that your eye is ok, R. I think it will help to get it looked after asap. You are going to need your eyes in top shape for the arrival of your baby.
    I hope your brother's wedding is absolutely wonderful. Enjoy the staycation!

  8. Unfortunately, my best pregnancy story isnt my own. My brother in law came home from work and asked her what was for dinner. She burst into tears. Reminds me of the hairband.

    I bet you will look like a million bucks at the wedding. Give us a picture??? Pretty please???

  9. Hope you had a great staycation! If your anything like me, you'll have baby brain until your baby is one. You slowly loose your mind and slowly get it back.
