Numb Toes, Operation, and Socks in the Garbage


So for the past month I've had the weirdest thing happening. My toes keep going numb. Why is that happening? I can be at the gym on the eliptical, making dinner in the kitchen, or just lounging on the couch--it doesn't matter what I'm doing, my toes keep going numb. Just one or two toes at a time. Right now its the big toe on my left foot. So weird. My husband suggested I heat up a rice bag and put it on my feet--it helps, but doesn't fix it completely.

I bought the game Operation for Samantha. I thought we were having fun with it until we were done and she started crying saying it was too hard. Maybe I'll put it away for a while till she's a bit more ready.

The stuff above was written earlier, but I have more to say. It's 10:20 at night and I just did a totally pregnant thing. A few minutes ago I took off my socks and put them in the garbage can. I walked away and suddenly thought, "Hmmm, I think I just did something weird." But I couldn't figure out what it was. Then after a few minutes had gone by, I threw a tissue away and noticed that my socks were in the garbage. And the funniest part is that I thought to myself, "Why are my socks in the garbage?" It took a couple of seconds...staring into the garbage can to remember what I had done. You know those old commercials with the egg in the frying pan...."This is your brain. This is your brain on drugs." Well, here it is..."This is my brain on pregnancy."

I am totally the same way prego. But I saw a Dr. Oz and he said women loose up to 8% of their brain mass while pregnent because it takes that much to grow a baby, so it's all normal.

Oh good! Glad to know I'm normal. (Kind of.)

Don't use the rice bag too much on your feet, I think I overspecialized mine and now they are all pins and needles most of the time. I don't use a hot rice bag on my feet anymore.
