Pregnancy brain

The funny, frustrating, embarrassing...let’s hear it all!

I inspired myself to start this post while reading through baby boy names. I read “Joey” as “Gooey”. Time for bed 😂

I have a couple pairs of jeans that are low riders, which I can still button underneath my belly though they are definitely just past comfortable. For some dumb reason I wore a pair of them to work the other day and had the A/S after work. Annoyingly the gap in between was too little time to go home, but too much time to want to sit in the lobby and wait, so instead I chilled in my truck reading either this board or FB or the like. Because I was not that comfortable and for the most part in private (why I mentioned the truck; higher up) I unbuttoned and folded down my jeans. I spent about another 20 minutes in the car reading or whatever it was I was doing on my phone, collected myself to go inside and got out of the truck to go my appt. I was halfway across the somewhat busy parking lot before I realized I had never refastened my jeans. Luckily I was wearing a hip length shirt that day but still had to walk very carefully the rest of the way to the building. Luckily, as it was near the end of the day, not too many people were headed in to appts and I got to be alone for a moment in the elevator and fixed my situation.

I messed up 3 orders this week 🤦🏼‍♀️ mixed up 2 clips and forgot a teether... Thankfully my customers have been super understanding, but I'm really annoyed with myself 🙃

Nothing yet this time but last pregnancy I left my keys in the front door overnight (I guess we live in a safe enough neighborhood) and threw out our kitchen scissors. I spent weeks searching for the scissors before I finally believed DH’s suggestion that I had thrown them out.

This morning when I made my coffee, I emptied the jar. I went to put sugar into my cup and instead put it into the empty jar. I use brown sugar so straggler grounds got stuck in it. I dumped it into my cup, stray grounds and all and called it a day. I've also nearly dumped the grounds right into my cup several times 😑

Oh my gosh, I have so many. LOL

Just last night for example, my H asked me why I put the trash in our recycling bin. No clue. Our trash and recycling bins are different sizes and different colors. They are very obviously different, yet somehow I mixed them up. 🤷‍♀️

I have also starting spacing off when making myself a snack and returning ingredients to the wrong places. Yesterday I tried to put a carton of milk in the pantry instead of the fridge. I only realized my mistake because the carton wouldn't fit on the shelf 😂

For DS2’s birthday, I went to bake him a cake. As I was getting the ingredients, I found we didn’t have flour, crisco, or sugar. I was very confused. So, I luckily had box cake mix in the pantry to use. During the prep, I needed oil, and what do I find? All the ingredients that we were “missing.” I had completely forgotten we had a whole other cabinet full of baking supplies 🤣

I have a notoriously bad memory in general. I do like to blame it on having 3 kids in under 3 years but 🤷‍♀️ It’s just horrible. I often leave my keys in my kitchen cupboards or in the spot I put butter in my refrigerator door. I’ve also put milk in the bathroom closet only to realize the next day that I did it, wasting the gallon... my dogs probably get fed 2-3x what they should on bad memory weeks and I’m guilty of leaving my house and driving 30 minutes to town only to realize that I’m barefoot. 

Thankfully the barefoot catastrophe was resolved by Target’s carside to go and a pair of $8 flats that I still love... 🤣

I keep looking for things that are right in front of me. Most recently at the zoo today I said to my friend “damnit I think I let my water bottle in there” (the snack store) 
she looks at me and points to the water bottle...right in front of me ℓσℓ 

::edit to add...I started typing this last night and fell asleep ℓσℓ ::

I shouldn't even admit how often I've attempted to unlock my house door with my car keys. And I don't even have a car key.... it's a key fob! I just stand there hitting the unlock button and getting frustrated when my house continues to stay locked.

Thank you all for sharing these and making me feel a tad bit better this morning!!  

I told a manager yesterday that I did NOT include a very important number in the quote I gave her.  Come to find out this morning not only is it included, it’s listed very nice and neatly for all to see.  I’ve apologized 10 times already 🙈  

I have about 100 others but this one today was the worst because it effects so many other people.  

ETA: unnecessary words

I pack my SO lunch every day. Yesterday, he opened his lunch box and found my sons yogurt inside instead of his pudding. Whoops. 

prpl11butterfly

@jcbh2018 bet your son was thrilled! Lmao. MH has given his lunch to N on accident and take hers 😂

I can't even think of an example, because of pregnancy brain. I have the worst memory in the world. I also have an inability to find the words I'm looking for, or I will just say the completely wrong word that may or may not have a similarity to the word I actually mean.

This is me to a T. In fact my BFF's sister has a notebook of the crap that comes out of my mouth. For example, DH likes to say "You're Killing me Smalls". I said it once and he told me that I was never allowed to say it because I didn't know what it's from. I replied with "Isn't it some references to biggy smalls?" ....mhmm yea...he made me watch the Sandlot that night lol.

I was feeding the dogs the other night and was yelling at DH because I thought he didn't put the scoop back where it goes (which he often does).....the scoop was in my hand.

Ugh! I ended up arriving to work one time last pregnancy with my slippers still on instead of my shoes. That was a slightly awkward day.

I keep losing my way mid sentence lately. It’s happening at work and at home. Tonight I was telling DH a story from my work day and literally just clammed up in the middle of a sentence. I didn’t say anything for so long that he finally said “are you okay?” All I could do was shrug and say, “I’m fine, but I can’t remember what I was talking about.” 🤦🏻‍♀️

Yes the brain just completely jumps track mid sentence, I’m like wtf man!

sammygirl18

I’m more in the saying the wrong word camp. My sentences flow nicely but the entirely wrong word will come out! Most of the time I feel like I notice, but I have been corrected so I wonder how many times people just let it go...

I’m an inspector and keep finding myself losing track of what I was saying. At least I have a checklist to follow 😂

Part of my job entails grabbing the outgoing mail and dropping it off in the drive-up post office box on my way home from work every day. Several times in the past month I've driven straight home, pulled into my garage, and shut off the car, only to see the mail is still sitting there on the passenger seat. 🤦‍♀️

So I recently got 2 email reminders from DMV. I usually do all of my stuff online, but when I tried, the system told me I had already done my registration renewal. I tried again in order to verify all information I had input was correct. Same message. Crap. I call the main DMV help line, who of course the voice message tells me has a heavy inbound call volume and a wait time of over 15 minutes. Reading bump posts in the meantime, I finally get a person who tells me that message is not abnormal and I can do the renewal by phone. Sends me to another line, another wait time. I finally get a very nice lady on the line who takes my info and says "hmmm, you're registration isn't due until 2020". Ummm, ok but how is that possible, I just got 2 recent email reminders? She says "let me check something. Yup, those were reminder emails for your vehicle inspection." Only 50 minutes on the phone to find out that brain hiccup 🤦‍♀️

I was describing a picture of a frozen waterfall to my DH and trying to say that the way it was frozen made it look like something else. But I said it was a frozen waterfall that looked like a waterfall....

I cleaned the dog's water and food bowl. Went to put them back down and feed him. Filled one bowl with water, went to the pantry, got his dog food, poured the packet right into the same bowl that I just poured the water into instead of the empty bowl.  OOPS!! I'm losing it!

😂 I did the same thing with our rabbit food last week. My 6 year said “mommy...I thought we couldn’t do that”

As I was walking to my car tonight I reached into my purse to pull out my keys and instead I grabbed my metro card, but didn’t really note that I wasn’t actually holding my keys. Got all the way to my car and it was locked. And I kept pulling on the handle thinking “why won’t my car open!!??” ...Until I realized I hadn’t actually pressed my clicker because I was holding my metro card instead. 😑

Trying to print some stuff at work, this particular thing doesn't have print button. 

*Alt+p*...*alt+p*... *alt+p*..."wtf, why won't this print? Let's go computer, get with it here." *ctrl+p* "finally, oooooohhhh"

I pulled the drawer under the oven out because I wanted something from the freezer. (our freezer is like a big drawer under the fridge...)

@jenferlee82, I thought of you today when I lost my way mid-sentence. 😂

I am rH negative and my H is positive. I was explaining to my H how and why I have to get rhogram shots:

me: So I have to get two shots. I get one at 28 weeks, and then the other one.....
H: ........
me: .......
H: .... Galentine? the other one what?
me: huh? What other one?  

I had completely forgotten what we were talking about.

I just got a haircut and walked out without paying. The guy was just like, "take care now" then I realized and walked back to pay, so embarrassed!!

 It pregnancy related but when I was about 19 I had to put my cat down. My mom and step dad were working and I took him on my own. I was so distraught when I left the vet I walked to my car without paying ($300...) I’m sobbing walking to my car and the lady comes chasing me down “you forgot to pay for your cat!”
😫
I was so embarrassed and sobbing trying to pay 🤦🏻‍♀️

cheznet

@perfectlove09 that sounds awful! We had to put my cat down in December and it was soooooo hard on both of us, even though she was originally my cat. I know exactly how you were feeling.

galentine

I just answered the phone at work..... but forgot to take my earbuds out first. 🤦‍♀️

junebabyh

I put the milk away in the pantry last night. Luckily, H found it no more than 5 min later. Can you imagine if it had stayed there all night?!

sammygirl18

Had an something that needed shredded but I really had to go to the bathroom, so I stuck it in a book on my desk for safekeeping. Get back from the bathroom and start freaking out because I lost the paper. Retrace my steps going back to the bathroom, go through all my drawers, then it dawned on me...my bad

Today I held me pee during my MFM appointment because I knew the regular OB would want a sample. I had to pee so bad when I got there. Guess what I FORGOT TO GRAB THE CUP. Then had to wait an extra 30ish minutes until I could per again because of course I couldn’t when I tried.
