EW. lucky for me it was

“momnesia”

it is real and it is rampant. if you aren’t familiar with momnesia, you probably don’t have kids yet, and you can count this a fair warning. i’ve added a category called “momnesia” and have decided to do a weekly post of all the retarded things i do as proof that i lost thousands of brain cells the day my daughter was born. i have no idea why i just got the inclination to share my shame with everyone…maybe i’m hoping someone out there will have a story worse than mine… some things that hav

Giving Birth Makes you Smarter

Tue, 18 Mar 2008 11:30:03 -0700

Wow, now this is something I had no clue about. Did you know that while we (moms) might get “Momnesia” for a while after giving birth, but we actually get smarter? According to a report done a few months ago they have discovered that not only do we get smarter but giving birth also lowers our risk of cancer. Better hide this finding before the hubby tells me I should have another. (he wants a football team) There are a lot of findings in the link above, read it and comment back here to comment.

Do You Have Momnesia?

Sun, 16 Mar 2008 11:43:00 -0700

Finally they've given it a name. You know what I'm talking about. You walk out of the mall and can't remember where you parked your car. Or worse, you get in your car and can't remember where you're going. Or the very worst: you call someone on the phone, and before they can pick up, you forget who it is you're calling and what you're calling about. It's called "Momnesia," and according to scientists, it's the perfectly normal result of sleep deprivation combined with the most stressful job in

Are You Suffering From Momnesia?

Thu, 06 Mar 2008 17:07:18 -0800

Did you forget your best friend’s phone number yesterday? Or place your keys in the refrigerator? Or perhaps you had a moment when you couldn’t even remember your child’s teacher’s name? If so, you are one of many mothers who are suffering from the new buzz word, “momnesia!” It may sound funny talking about it now, but at the time it might have even been frightening. Doctors believe the cause is a combination of things. Pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding and stress all cause an ebb and fl

‘A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.’ ~ Proverbs 18:24 Two of my good friends—Kevin and Jon—took me out for lunch to celebrate my birthday on Tuesday and I really enjoyed it. Once I graduated from college I lost contact with pretty much all of my buddies and I had really been missing having guys to hang around with. That is one of the (many) reasons I love WPC—there is no shortage of godly men with whom to forge great relations

Momnesia - Tips on How to Cope with The Dreaded Mommy Brain

Thu, 06 Mar 2008 10:05:12 -0800

Have you ever forgotten where you put your keys last? Or went to the grocery store and left that list on the kitchen counter? How about not packing extra baby clothes in your diaper bag incase your newborn soaked through his diaper? I'm sure all of us have experienced some form of the dreaded mommy brain or what researchers now call "Momnesia". I chuckled at the segment this morning on the Today Show because more often than not I have experienced a total brain lapse. I remember being preg

A good friend of mine sent me this link to a very interesting story yesterday. It explains a phenom some call momnesia: From USA today : While researchers say they can’t explain all the ways motherhood affects a woman’s memory, they agree there’s a pattern. Like Massingill, many moms feel mentally foggy in the days after delivery. And they notice that the details of labor and delivery, which are scenes one might expect to be seared into a woman’s consciousness, began to slowly slip away.

Momnesia (Oh, it’s for real!)

Tue, 04 Mar 2008 14:18:13 -0800

I’ve been accused on more than one occasion of being a little ditzy. From putting the milk away in the pantry to leaving my keys in the door, I know I am more than a little guilty. However, I learned this morning that it’s not my fault. The blame lies with my children. Just one more reason to say, “You did this to me!” As if it weren’t enough my thighs and waist grew exponentially after the second child, never to go back to their pre-baby size again. As if it weren’t enough that my disposable

Sometimes I Have Momnesia

I woke up at 5:30 this morning with a flash of insight. I finally remembered where my cell phone was. It had been missing since 3 pm on Wednesday when I put it in a safe spot-- a dining room chair-- while I was straightening up. Of course it was such a "safe" spot, that I couldn't find it. And not only that, I had silenced the ringer because of nap time, so calling myself was useless. Does this ever happen to you? Do you find yourself forgetting things because you are so preoccupied with work

Having made the decision to stay at home with our daughter, I have defended the life of a stay-at-home mother to countless women who are still in the workplace. I do so subconsciously, hardly noticing as I minimize the total exhaustion that has overtaken my body. I catch myself telling people “It’s a blast being with Lily, the days just fly by.” Of course, moms out there know the truth - no 2 year old is a “blast” 24 hours a day. Sure, she’s a riot when she is well-fed, well-rested, and cracki
