I love the concept of Mommy Brain– that between hormonal changes and sleep deprivation new mothers become forgetful. It’s such a handy excuse. For instance, moments ago I was ashamed to realize that there have been several comments left on this blog awaiting my moderation. Oops, Mommy Brain! And then I discovered a draft of the “Four Things” meme that I was tagged with months ago but forgot to post.

So finally, here it is. Thank you for the comments and thank you for reading.
