Pregnancy Brain

I pulled a Dutch oven out of the cabinet tonight only to realize that I put it away a week ago with the water and dish detergent still in it. I made sauce and the pan needed to soak overnight. Wtf.

I'm a veterinary technician and daily have pregnancy brain. We keep our vaccines in the fridge but on MULTIPLE occasions I will go to grab a vaccine and open the dryer door... In my defense it's beside the fridge!

I went to Chick fila drive through tonight and forgot to order and didn't realize til I got to the window to pick up food ... my 11 year old daughter was in the car dying laughing ....

I forgot how to make pasta. Just straight up forgot. I put the dry noodles in the pot and stood there staring at them for a solid minute, because it seemed wrong but I couldn't remember how to do it right.

My chewing skills are failing me. The other day I was shoving blueberries into my mouth, and I bit my tongue so hard that it was sore for three days. Tonight I took a bite of an apple, and it just fell out of my mouth. My husband just shook his head.

This made me LOL so hard!

Forgot my wallet while grocery shopping and then out shopping for fun, on a totally separate occasion. Have never forgotten my wallet in my life. H ended up buying me more things than he anticipated Also forgot to buy CRITICAL groceries - the things I was craving and went to the store to buy in the first place.

But most of the time it's just slooooow going up in there. Things that I used to check off the list within the day are now taking days... if I remember them at all! I've gotten better at making myself reminders though - I no longer trust myself to remember ANYTHING, so as soon as I think of something I need to do, I put it in my phone.

I am usually all about lists and post it's, but now they're necessities. 

This.  I never, ever forget anything.  Went to the store 3 times for TP, forgot the TP every time.  I ended up writing it on my hand one day!  But I literally have to write everything down now or I'll forget.  I often wonder what kind of important task is getting missed at work because my brain just won't function properly.  *sigh*  I told DH that he's going to have to start helping me remember stuff.  (Like that will ever happen! lol)

I seem to not have the ability to talk or spell sometimes?! I just spelled 'kitchen' like 'citchen' then couldn't figure out why it looked wrong for five seconds.

I got the butter and eggs out of the fridge this morning to make fried eggs. I put the butter in the pan, put it back in the fridge, wandered around the kitchen for a bit until checking on the eggs a couple min later, but nothing: just burning butter. Apparently, I had taken the egg carton out of the fridge and put it straight back in again. How??? WHY???

Lol!  I'd totally starve if I couldn't make pasta, hahaha.

Same. Our dryer is in the back of the clinic and fridge is in treatment, but there's times I go to get them out of the cabinet. We also keep the prevention in the drawer behind reception for singles and the boxes on a shelf, daily I find myself looking in the fridge for them.

I was unloaded the dishwasher and found the Pam cooking spray in the cupboard where our cups/mugs are (versus in the spice cabinet where it belongs). I don't remember doing it.

@LoveLee85 I have a spelling problem too. "erationally" is not how you spell irrationally

At work today I went to use the restroom and couldn't figure out why I couldn't see anything so I used my phone as a light. Well - apparently I needed to flip on the light switch. Genius. Realized it while washing my hands.

Couldn't for the life of me figure out why my iPad wouldn't connect to the internet.  Messed around with it for over an hour before I remembered that I put it on airplane mode to charge it faster.

I was checking out at the grocery store using my debit card. I took it out of my purse, paid, and then could not figure out where I keep my debit card to put it back! I tried a couple places that didn't seem right and then just stared at it. The checkout lady asked if everything was ok. I took it to my car to figure out where I have kept if for the last two years lol

Someone asked me what I was drinking yesterday and I had no idea.  The cup was in my hand!  I just kept looking at it, then changed the subject hoping no one would notice.  (FWIW it was ginger ale, which is about all I can stomach rn)

I also yelled at the dog, but called him my brother's name?? Sheesh.

I think my husband has pregnancy brain worse than I do. He cleaned up the kitchen last night, and this morning I find one of our chefs knives sticking blade-up in the utensil holder, WITHOUT the protective covering. I just about stabbed my self when I went to grab a spatula.

I wanted to drink some Gatorade and I have the bottle with the sports cap on it. I took the plastic wrap off the outside but didn't take the seal underneath the cap off and wondered why nothing was coming out. I asked my coworker who in less than 3 seconds figured out that the seal was still on
