Pregnancy Brain

Yesterday of course was another busy Sunday.  We had church and then I had choir for an hour afterwards.  After choir we were trying to quickly leave the church so we could get home and have some dinner before attending the Stake Carol Festival at which our ward choir was performing that evening.  I headed to the hall to grab my coat and noticed there were no coats there.

Jason and Ashton were elsewhere in the building shutting off lights and I thought maybe they had grabbed it for me.  They came back a couple minutes later and then didn't have my coat.  The sister missionaries and a friend of mine were still in the building and they started looking for my coat.  They checked all the classrooms - but no luck - no coat.  I couldn't imagine who would have taken my coat.  I was upset as it is new and I had bought it big enough to hopefully last me the entire winter even with my growing belly.

My friend Anna insisted that she wanted to buy me a new coat.  I told her, of course, that that was completely unnecessary but she was adamant that she wanted to do this for me.  She said it was going to get so cold this week and I had to have a coat and she was taking me out to buy one on Monday.  About 20 after 5 we finally decided it was no where to be found and headed home.

When we got home and I was taking off my shoes I slid open the closet door and low and behold - MY COAT!  Still on the hanger in the closet.  How did I leave the house in December without a coat on?  I felt so stupid.  That night at the Carol Festival I let Anna know I had left my coat at home.  She was so disappointed - she had already been online looking for coats to buy me.  What a sweet friend!!

Ashton informed me that maybe the more brains I lose while I'm pregnant, the smarter the baby will be!  I don't think it quite works that way.
