Pregnancy brain - it's real and it's here

I know I've had several moments over the last week or two but I can't think of a single one right now. 

UnbreakableKimmySchmidt

I forgotten to shut the garage door twice in the last week. DH has come home from work and asked, "why is the garage door open?"  ummmm....

I keep forgetting to turn our oven off.... I told H it's now his job to double check.

@UnbreakableKimmySchmidt - you need the garage door opener we have. You can close the garage doors from your cell phone and get alerts if the doors have been open more then a certain time or just check to see if they are open.  It's awesome.

The day before I found out I was pregnant I totally blanked on doing a simple task I do on the same day every month for the last 5 years. It caused quite the incident with a bunch of tech support guys to fix it the next day. Once I got the positive test I decided I blame pregnancy brain!

I told my friend I would pick her up for dinner, but instead went straight to the restaurant. Then after I realized and called her, she said her husband would drop her off. Well, I told them the wrong restaurant! After we finally worked it out and were able to meet up, she walked in and said, "sounds like you have pregnancy brain." She didn't know I was pregnant, so it was fun telling her after that. 

Other than that, I've had so many instances. I firmly believe pregnancy brain is real.

Yesss. I went to the grocery store yesterday.. put my groceries in the truck and specifically put my phone down on top of the waters so I wouldn’t forget to grab it. Forgot to grab it.. got home.. freaked out.. back to the grocery store.. back home still freaking and then I finally remembered. Went out to the car, yup, still right there on the waters.

Hubby and I were making plans to accommodate my work day, an appointment with the midwife, and his own plans for the day. Apparently (so he says) I'd told him that I would work from home. The next time we talked about it, I was all, "Oh, I'll just walk to the appointment from my office." And he mentioned the extreme heat for the day (40 Celsius), and I said, "Oh, I can't take my inhaler, so I can't walk there. I'll need you to pick me up."
He stared at me for a long time and said, "Or... Like you originally said, you could work from home and we'll just go together..."

Haha. Whatever. He says I'm clueless; I say it's pregnancy brain.

I’ve been sending text messages to the wrong people. I haven’t text anything embarrassing or horrible...yet...

I left for a doctor's appointment today without my purse and on less than a quarter tank of gas. No purse = no money. No money = no gas. I didn't realize it until I got to the doctor's office, which is a solid 45 minutes away from my house. I coasted back into town on fumes.

I was typing in our address for a delivery and forgot our zip code. I legit had to google our address. I would feel worse about it but DH forgot it a few weeks ago when we were at the gas station and needed to type it in. Maybe we are both just dumb.

I was looking for my sunglasses when it was on my head the entire time...got out of the house ten minutes later than planned. And so it starts.

Made DS a PB&J....forgot the jelly.

We just showed up 2 hours early for my daughter's baseball game, totally my fault

I couldn’t write a sentence Monday. Like couldn’t finish the letters in each word. The brain is strong!

I helped my dad order something. Put his street address and my city/zip!

I commented about my boobs on a post about crawling.  In my defense, it was kind of my phones fault for jumping around, but it took it being pointed out to me and not other comments on the post for me to figure it out.

I tried to fill my water bottle without taking the lid off first. It sprayed all over & I Soaked myself!

I forgot what sound a goat made when I was singing DD old McDonald. In case you’re wondering, goats now go ‘neigh’.

I usually have to write notes or set reminders so I don't forget... now that I'm pregnant, I forget to even write notes or set reminders. Forgot my overnight bag on a work trip. Had to go to Target and buy enough clothes and essentials to get by for a few days! Sent email to wrong people, forgot to bring stuff with me when I've laid it on top of my purse, forgot how to use the self scan checkout, left my room key in the hotel room immediately after checking in, added two tips on a catering receipt, can't complete my sentences when speaking... pregnancy brain is real!

I couldn't think of any farm animals, so farms now have monkeys and lions.

completely finished my weekly report at work, wrote up and attached it to the email then forgot to press send. It sat in my outbox for 6 hours. Showed up to the meeting to review with the executive team only to find out I was the only one who had the report because it never got send out....whoopsies

Called a coworker I've known for 4 years who has the same name as my husband the wrong name in an email. Spelled jello like jellow. Forgot our address when mailing my dad a father's day package. I used to be able to host a meeting at work with no prep and just improvise my way through it but now I have no direction and use the wrong words the whole time if I don't do serious prep. Sometimes when my husband talks to me now I just close my eyes because I don't have the brain power to listen to him and process what he is saying.

Today my farm had fish and parrots. This would be easier if I could just stop singing old McDonald but DD demands it (by coming up to me and going ‘e-i-e-i-e-i’).

Oh. How could I forget this one. 

BFF was visiting the other day and we saw a squirrel scaling one of my windows. I freaked out and was like ‘OMG, I didn’t know squirrels could do that. How do his feet just stick to the window like that?!’. BFF was like ‘Uhm. It’s a screen. He’s climbing the screen. He isn’t spider-squirrel’. 

Face meet palm.

I turned the heater on my seat in my car this afternoon instead of the vent. It was 90* and took me almost ten minutes before I realized why i was still so hot.

I was backing out of the garage yesterday and side swiped my husbands truck that was parked in the driveway in front of his side of the garage. And 3 weeks ago side swiped a post in a parking garage- of course on opposite sides of my car... I’m really usually a very good driver. If I keep this up the repair bill alone is going to be super expensive!

Gave my 4 year old clothes to dress himself for sunday school. Found out when we were 2 minutes away he had no underwear on. FANTASTIC.

i asked why he did not put his undies on and he said, “because mommy you did not get them out for me”.

cooool.

I'm no hero but I'd like to give myself some recognition and snaps...I planned a week-long intensive training for a staff of 50 for this week, and it has so far gone off without any issues.  I feel extremely proud of my pregnant self. Especially since I put salt in my (one cup of) coffee on Sunday morning.

Edited: because spelling...because of course

I'm a team leader in a technical field. Today I couldn't figure out why my USB drive wouldn't work.... Turns out, it was an adapter for a wireless mouse.

I gave DS some Goldfish crackers with his lunch today. He asked for more, and I couldn’t find the bag. DH and I searched the kitchen for 10 minutes. How does a bag of goldfish disappear?? I found them in the fruit drawer of my refrigerator .

Drove all the way to work today (half hour) and got a call from my wife, asking me to look in my bag to see if I took her car keys. Yep, I did.  She doesn't have a spare so I had to drive home to give them to her. Happy Monday!

Today I used my voice calling in my car to "call Lucy"

spoiler alert

.......Lucy is my dog

I had been thinking about her on my lunch break and I don't know how I thought that was going to pan out. Woof

@galactickates ahahah yesterday I spoke the answer to a text message to my sister...to my boss.  Much confusion! Hang in there, lady!

I used DH's toothbrush this morning and kept thinking "wow, this toothbrush feels really nice on my teeth. When did I start using a new toothbrush?"

I got so lost on the way home from the grocery store that it took me an extra 20 minutes, I ended up on a gravel service road in the forest, and I had to use my gps.

I put one of my earrings on backwards. It was several hours before I notice one ear was just displaying the earring back instead of the flower I had picked out.

I’m super paranoid that I’m going to do this! I’ve been triple checking anything racy or potentially embarrassing to my husband to make sure it’s actually going to him and only him!

Today I tried to say “whimsical” and it came out “whizmacall”

I've been mixing up words and syllables a lot today. Didn't even think to blame pregnancy brain.
