Dumb & dumber

I've mentioned couvade symptoms already- the theory that the partner can adopt a sympathetic pregnancy and therefore have pregnancy related symptoms.  Denver has proven that theory, and I can attest to his suffering of one specific couvade symptom: dumbness, or as we like to call it, pregnancy brain.  

Here is a perfect example.  Denver and I are browsing the internet, looking for a camcorder (is that what they are even called anymore?).  Every website seems to have the one we like listed for the same price, $299.

But wait!  Here is a website that has it listed for $209.

Denver says, excitedly, "WOW that's $50 cheaper!"

I look at Denver like he is highly impaired and say: "You dummy, it's $70 cheaper!"

True story.  And definitely one of those "pot calling the kettle black moments."  Love those.

So true, I call it Fetal Brain Drain. And I have to admit, it hasn't improved a year and a half after having the baby. I can't wait for the camcorder video posts!
