Can you hear it? I can hear it... click click click

That is the sound in my head. All 3 of my remaining brain cells randomly running into each other. It doesn't hurt, really... just kinda makes me wonder if an elf has been coloring my roots.

I'm talking baby brain.

I swore by it when I was pregnant with Atlas. Then somewhere in the 18 months of non-pregnancy I completely forgot about it and forgot the helpless feeling of forgetting what day of the week it was ... several times in the same day.

Baby brain is very real.

The only logical explanation these 3 brain cells keep clicking back to me is that I am low on blood. This blood sucking parasite is totally frying my brain!

And what is worse... during those 18 non-pg months I truly believed I must have made it up out of sheer exhaustion! REALLY?! Like I could pretend to be this forgetful!

ooo ooo ooo

Do you have a clue?

You don´t have a clue

...

All the blood to your brain

Is in vain

...

All your stupid friends love you for your mind

I´ve seen you, perfectly designed

Don´t make me smile, don´t make me smile

All you thoughts are perfectly unkind

...

Don´t make me smile

All the stars in the sky

Just crossed your eyes

All the blood to your brain

Is in vain

It's insane

 Where as I? I forget. But I think it is bc the baby needs the blood more than I do. ...little does it know.
