Kelly's Belly w21.5

Kelly is feeling just dandy now, and has a bit more of that glow that people always talk about. She gets all smiley thinking about giving our baby baths, pushing him in the stroller, or pretty much anything. She has even admitted to the nesting behavior they speak of. This is great thing because it means a clean house and more cookies for me to eat. Although I have to put up with the vacuum cleaner when the TV is on. Is that the universal cue for, "Get off your hindquarters and help me clean," or what, my mom did the same thing? Not to worry I picked up on this subtle hint of the female mind and dusted a little and took out the trash.
With the nesting instincts and the glowing comes this other strange side affect that apparently is common. It appears that creating another human occupies part of the brain that usually is attributed to little things like remembering right from left, common vocabulary, general motor function and other skill sets common to daily function. The overall clumsiness I can understand, biomechanically there has been a slight shift in her center of gravity that would throw most of us off. This could explain why a typically graceful individual trips over the dog and breaks a few dishes but that still doesn't explain the slightly less than optimal brain function. Kelly is a amazingly intelligent person gifted in the art of teaching, management, and organization. In fact the only reason I have a chance at noticing is her otherwise impeccable record. I know the whirlwind of hormones has strange affects on people but I can't understand how any of them would be linked to brain performance. For a while I thought since Kelly is actively "making a brain" that some of the neurons, synapses, and nerve endings usually available to Kelly may have been in a sense "deployed" to our baby boy to set up camp there. Only to return when things looked like everybody had learned the ropes. This is far from scientific journal and you guys probably don't want to hear my hare brained theories, but this is the only way I will get them published. Mostly you want to see pictures and hear what has been going on, so I will add a few more, at later time.
Either way we continue on, excited about our news, as the baby room begins to fill. I will continue to do research on this great mystery and study both of my subjects carefully, keeping an eye on them, mostly to make sure she doesn't really trip over the dog.
