Ha I have to laugh I've been having a case of this...
What's one of the moments you've had?

- searching high and low for my phone after coming home from work.... It was in my work shoes ">

I washed my hands with toothpaste. At least they smelled minty fresh.

I swear I have it bad this time around! 

I bought a new wreath and hanger the other day and went to put it on the door and the hanger didn't fit. I was super bummed. DH came home and saw and says "I'm surprised you haven't hung the new wreath yet". I told him I tried but the hanger didn't fit our door. And he was all, maybe that's because it's upside down....hah I didn't even think about it having different sides.

I tried to unlock our front door with my automatic remote for my car... More then once...

I was giving a presentation at work and the last two words in every sentence would just vanish from my head.  I just started saying "and... now the baby has eaten that sentence, too" and everyone was amused.  I think I still got my point across but it was unnerving not remembering the words that were literally there a few minutes before.

I keep forgetting I just fed my dog, so I feed her 3 times in a row sometimes.  She's gaining weight, too.

Words I've used my entire life temporarily take a leave of absence from my vocabulary. My phone is never fully charged anymore because I forget to plug it in at night and don't have time to leave it attached to a power source during the day. I try not to let it get too bad, though. A coworker said some rude things to another coworker and blamed it on baby brain (her youngest is five years old and she's not pregnant again). I thought that was a little excessive but kept my opinion to myself.

One of the doctors at my cancer research clinic diagnosed me with pregnancy brain last week when I sent an eMail to her about a patient on a first-in-man study because she's the primary investigator for the study, and in the eMail, I gave the blood sugar readings that the patient was apparently going to have in two days rather than the night before and that day.

I spent an entire minute trying to plug my phone charger into my hot cocoa.

I was driving home from work last night and missed my street!
While I am at work, I'll go into the back room to get something off the shelf and while looking for it forget why I was there. Have to go back out front to figure out what it was, but start doing something completely different instead

I lose my words constantly. I had it bad with my first pregnancy but it's a million times worse this time around.

Pregnancy brain has caused me to forget how to properly explain myself, or use my full vocabulary.  :-P

My husband asked a well-endowed friend who recently had a baby about where to buy large size maternity bras, and texted me the answer midday. He got home from work and said "did you google that store?", and at first I had no idea what he was talking about. Then I said "oh I'll look it up right now!" and he left to walk the dog. 30 minutes later he's back, "did you google that store?" (I'd been at the computer the whole time), oops I forgot. I'll do it right now. Turned back to the computer, 5 minutes later I shouted to him, "what was I supposed to be doing?"

My SIL is pregnant and they are not finding out the sex of their baby. I said to my friend "I can't wait until they have their baby so I can find out if I'm going to be an aunt or an uncle!"

I didn't catch on.. even when my friend was laughing her head off.

Wow, this is embarrassing. I don't even remember this post.
I had a root canal this day and was on pain meds.
Note to self pain meds does not make for quality posting X_X

Lurking, but I packed all of DS's lunch yesterday except the important part the sandwich thank goodness the sitter said she would just make him a PBJ, and then I used the wrong CC at the store even though I had just talked to DH about which one he wanted me to use to get the most points...that and I constantly forget what i am doing it as it is happening. My DH has a terrible memory, so it is really bad if he has to remind me what I am supposed to be doing.

I get flustered teaching and forget what I was saying constantly. I have to write really extensive notes over something simple like allusion so I know what needs to be said when I forget even though I've taught the same thing for several years.
