At party with baby

I can pat myself for making a baby shower party favor.
Yesterday was he first big social occasion that our family went decked in traditional dress. we wen late. It could have been avoided had I done all the wardrobe check before hand. There was a bigger thing going on in the mindscape. I should have kown that I couldnt fit into the punjabi dresses brought for marriage. What a surprise. The only thing I could fit into was a saree, which I tied in the most unseemly fashion. It being summer, I put some extra candy that we were taking to the party in the fridge. Just before leaving I put them out but after getting into the car and away from home, I realise I havent taken the bowl of extra candy with me and another big surprise, as I enter into my friends house, the gift card is on the table. I reminded myself that I have to write our names on it, but that was way down the list I guess.
In this episodeCandace talks about mommy brain . While recent studies have shown that brain wiring continues into young adulthood, new mommies have changes in parts of the brains for you know who.
Baby boosted brain. That explains it all. Just a little nudge about wanting to visit the Terracota Warriors in Beijing and a whole dream about surviving in China. We seem to be stuck in a tunnel fit for just one man. Countless number of soldiers are in the tunnel, we are about to be run over by them, just before the stampede, we find an escape but not before some pricky acupuncture to our backs. There even seemed to be a prodigious baby coping with falling into water.
Socialising as a mother brins a template with it.
'How old is he?'
-- months
She is -- months
whats his name
--
What does it mean? (my flourish)
--
Whats her name
---
And then about what are they upto.
About the mommy brain, I am yet to power up mine.
