“…research has shown that pregnant women actually do just as well in cognitive tests as women who aren’t pregnant… Interestingly, in a different study, pregnant women rated themselves as having performed worse than they would have before pregnancy, even though they tested just as well as a group that wasn’t pregnant. So if you think you’re flakier than usual while you’re pregnant, it may just be your perception.” – from an article on BabyCenter.com
I suppose I might be able to get a decent score on the ACT (MIGHT); but I don’t know how else to define paying at the drive-thru window then driving away without stopping to pick up the food, other than “flakier than usual.” Or how about the 10 times a day that I walk into a room for a purpose, then spin around wondering why I just huffed and puffed up the stairs. I find kitchen utensils in the bathroom (that one may be the kids) and open diet coke cans in closets. Research might not be able to explain why I can’t remember what I was going to write about today, but I’ll claim pregnancy brain anyway 🙂

Danielle, I have twice driven away at McDonald’s after paying for my coffee. I wouldn’t go back because I was too embarrassed. That is an awful feeling. Might just be an Evans trait and not pregnancy at all!!! Love you, Aunt Claudia
Aunt Claudia, That’s really funny. Maybe that’s why my dad avoids drive-thrus altogether 🙂
