Feeling brain dead

I never believed the "hype" of pregnancy brain, or whatever people call it. I guess there are studies that an expecting mom's brain can shrink by 8%. I don't believe that, but I do believe that my focus has shifted. At this point I feel like I can only think about Jensen, his well-being, and being tired! I am not really tired, but my energy is not what is has been for the past few months. I sit at my desk and yawn all day, but I don't feel like I could fall asleep. I think Jensen is just an energy sucker and it is taking all of my brain power to focus. I luckily haven't missed a deadline or forgot to go to a doctors appointment, but I have my trusty calendar for that. I literally have to write down everything and all of it goes in three spots... my desk calendar, my computer calendar (with pop-up reminders), and my planner that goes everywhere with me. I feel like I work slower, but my mom says that I work so fast all the time that I am probably moving at the normal persons speed. I thought that was kind of funny since everyone on my team says I get stuff done way too fast. They haven't said that since I have been pregnant though haha!

I think I forgot to mention in one of my last posts, but next Monday my mom and I are going to Katy Perry! Woo hoo! I love her and can't wait to go to her concert. My mom said we will probably look funny as she is "old" (her words not mine) and I am the big pregnant lady. I love that my mom loves her too and we can share something else together.

Not too much happening this weekend - I am having a co-worker who finished cosmetology school this year do my hair. Hopefully I like it since I am doing maternity pictures that night. We are still planning to do pictures at Oqquirh Lake in Daybreak and I think they will turn out pretty cute. If I don't like the location I can always ask to go somewhere else. I think with it being summer and being by the water (which is only a 20 minute drive) will be cute for pictures. Plus, I wanted simple outdoor pictures with the greenery since I want to hang some of these pictures in Jensen's room. Hopefully they turn out cute!

I just panicked! I looked over and saw my "widget" on my desktop and it says 76 days to go (in bold)!! I can't believe there is just over 2 months until Jensen Callan arrives! Holy moly! I better get his room ready! August is going to be a really busy month with finishing decorating, two baby showers, and of course of 1 year wedding anniversary! I am still trying to figure out what we are going to do. The following month (just before Jensen's arrival) is Corey's 30 birthday. Since I can't go all crazy due to being very pregnant and poor, I am thinking of getting a hotel room that looks really awesome, plus it has a pool table in the room. It would give us something to do besides watch movies that cost $15 a piece! I think I will look into booking it now. I wish we could go on a vacation, but I am scared to  travel at this point - plus I don't think I am allowed on a plan starting in August. Off to find a mini-vaca here in SLC I guess....
