...and then the hormones started attacking my brain cells

Hormones. The big wig scientists still aren't sure how or why the capacity and normal functions of the female brain start their perpetual downward spiral once sperm meets egg. One thing I know for sure is that the decline is swift and unrelenting. I can't remember things I did last week, yesterday and sometimes by the end of the day I can't remember what I had for breakfast. This can be alarming but my sister Jose helped me come to the realization that if I just calm down and relax through it I likely won't remember my pre-pregnancy grey matter's performance by the time the baby is born!
