For those of you who aren't familiar with the mind-numbing disease called Mommy Brain, let me enlighten you=).Mommy brain, is caused by lack of sleep, or extremely disrupted sleep for several months in a row, followed by a high dose of post natal hormones, and an excessive amount of whining and crying heard throughout the day. The signs and symptoms include, delayed response to any adult conversation, difficulty communicating with someone over 2 years of age, slight jealousy when your husband gets home from the Laker's game and notifies you he sat next to Leonardo DiCaprio while you spent two hours trying to get teething twins to sleep, sleep loss headache, abnormally large biceps from hauling babies around, inability to get anything accomplished for yourself, and others may perceive you as completely insane when they see you pushing a shopping cart while pulling a stroller at the same time, and finally you gain an overwhelmingly non judgemental attitude for any other parent experiencing the same symptoms!
Yes, the last few days have a been a little crazy. But, before I talk about our busy week, I have good news! Thanks to my sweet friend and nanny Sarah Lynn, I was able to take a nap today. Thus, there is hope for this devastating disease. My biggest hope is to one day sleep the whole night through without interruption. But, for now the best things for me entail a few good giggles from Rylie, some cuttles from Zoey, Brielle bopping to the beat of music, and time to laugh with Ryan. I just hope my mommy brain doesn't keep me from remembering as much as I'd like, I guess that's why amidst all of this craziness I am trying to blog.
