There are brain fog and brain fart, the first being not as serious as the medically recognized second. Both happen to people one day or another. Pregnant women, however, tend to suffer from something else. Baby brain.

The term refers to memory errors, poor concentration, and absent-mindedness reported by many women during pregnancy and early motherhood. We’re talking forgetting what company you work for when talking to a client, pouring chicken broth into your smoothie instead of almond milk… You know, the good stuff. Even though research on the existence of baby brain is mixed, take a look at some of the stuff pregnant women and their partners post and be the judge on that yourself.

#71 More DIY Plumbing Adventures At The Craig House.

I decided to hard boil (steam?) several eggs in the instant pot this morning and without thinking (#pregnancybrain) put all the eggshells down the garbage disposal which of course clogged. We tried a few tricks (baking soda+vinegar+boiling water, etc). I could feel in the pipes exactly where the clog was based on the boiling water so I decided to take them apart. Well… The picture tells the rest of the story. No more clog and Imma go take a shower now.
PS: yes, it is my due date for those wondering and clearly Moira is not ready to make her debut.
