Forgetfulness

They say that preggers become forgetful during their term. Perhaps this is what is affecting me.

Earlier today, I was talking with a woman at work about a project we were working on and out of no where, she says. "Listen, li. I'm going to give you some advice that I give every pregnant woman who has come up after me."

A successful professional and mother of now teenage girls, my ears should have perked open to her sage advice. Instead, I said "What?" And, my face, which has an unpokerlike quality and expresses every thought that crosses my mind, looked confused and concerned.

For what felt like a few moments, but was more like a split second or two, I couldn't understand why she was ready to tell me something that she tells preggers. What did I have to do with that?

And, then it dawned on me: Oh yeah, I'm prego! Duh! Of course, this awareness also displayed on my face, which caused for quite the awkward moment.

This definitely wasn't the first time I've forgotten this itty bitty fact. Perhaps I'm just a horrible mommy-to-be. Or, maybe, I'm the same gal I've always been and I haven't let the nugget take over my life?
