You all know about pregnancy brain, right?
I remember when I was pregnant, I would forget things all the time. Where my purse was, where the phone was, what day it was, where I was going once I started to drive.
In fact, I think I am still suffering from some form of memory loss, but that's another tale for another time.
When you're pregnant, you're also very emotional. You snap easily. You cry easily. You get angry for no good reason, and when you do, it comes without any warning at all.
No matter how nice of a person you normally are, watch out - a pregnant lady is not someone to mess with!
Take my sister, for example. This is a girl, who I swear to God, is sweet as pie. And, no word of a lie, even MY friends like her more than they like me. Because she's just the nicest person ever.
Her teachers all loved her as a child, saying on her report cards: "If only all children were as pleasant as Gina!"
Now? My sister is pregnant. And let me tell you - she's had some serious mood swings!
For instance?
She told me she wants to sell her nice pull-out couch she only bought a year ago, because she doesn't need it anymore, since the room it's in is becoming the baby's nursery.
I emailed her and told her she should, in fact, keep the couch - just move it to the basement, so she has an extra couch for when her basement is finished.
Then, the wrath of my sister arrived in my inbox:
whats wrong with you? like for real, get over it. I DONT NEED/WANT THAT COUCH IN MY HOUSE TO DO NOTHING FOR THE NEXT 5 YEARS IN THE BASEMENT, SO YOUR KIDS CAN SIT, SPIT AND DESTROY IT. it would do nothing, and who would i put down there????? no one. we have a double bed upstairs already if we have guests. whats wrong with you?????????
and wtf you think that couch would go in my basement when its finished anyway? where? its a 2 seater. like i would obviously need a big couch like yours. so get over it. i am not keeping it, i am selling it and using the money towards shit we need NOW.
omg i never knew your love for this couch before. weird.
Okay. Seriously? I had to laugh when I read this email because, really? This is not my sister! This is her evil pregnant mind taking over her thoughts! When will my normal sister come back? I'm scared!!!

And even funnier for me that it is the same kind of thing my NON-pregnant sister might email me, if she was feeling particularly fiesty that day, LOL
Oh sisters... I hope yours returns to you soon :-)
And what IS up with your obsession with that couch. I mean, come on, Loukia for real? It's just a freaking couch!
Sorry, I thought it'd be fun to channel that pregnancy fury for a minute.
I remember getting into a HUGE fight with Sweetie Pie over something completely stupid. A daycare was being built near our house, and they'd sent the zoning thingie in the mail. And I argued with my husband about where the line in the picture was compared to our house.
He was disagreeing with me and I got into such a fury I threw my plate at his head. I'm not even kidding. In front of our almost three-year old.
For the record? I missed. And I do regret it. The missing, I mean. Because, clearly I was totally in the right.
I have a sister as well and we were both pregnat at the same time (I deliver 6 weeks before her) and our family said we should just have it out till one of us had our shirts over or heads, hockey style, afterall we are Canadian. The worst part is we are the best of friends.
Tread lightly... ;-P
I was a little scared for your life for a sec, and then I noticed Gina commented and only threatened to get you back, not murder you, for posting this on your blog!
I locked my husband out of the house for not hanging up our Christmas lights correctly. I also told him to call 555-gof*#kyourself to talk to someone that cared.
Yikes.
And you should hear my sister and sister-in-law. Omg. I may need to just wait until they have had their babies to talk to them again...yikes.
xo
It's like hearing myself when I was pregnant!
You better run, Loukia! She's going to get you good. :)
Glad to know you are two loving sisters :o) Thanks for this Monday smile and Gina, breathe girl breathe... hope your pregnancy is going well... @lauratoogood
I thought I was a happy pregnant girl, but now I'm wondering if I say/do random stuff like that. Huh.
