Pregnancy Brain

A list of things I have screwed up/ forgotten in the past two weeks:

1. Did not fill out personal time card so did not get paid
2. Didn’t sign a check for my daughter’s school 
3. Decided 20+20+14 = 44, was 10 dollars short for event tickets 
4. Forgot to process payroll for employee- employee was not paid 
5. Forgot my husband’s birthday , like the actual day, i gave him many, many birthday wishes and celebratory items two days before his actual birthday- he did not stop me
6. Forgot how to spell last name (in my defense it’s my husband’s last name and we have only been married for 10 years so technically new to me) got locked out of computer systems at work
7. So many words - all the words…

Hahaha yikes I feel you. My husband reminds me to do my pay every single time, whereas I was the one reminding him before. 
I can't even make a list of everything I've forgotten because I forgot.... not sure how I did my masters pregnant last time but I really don't think I'd do as well this time around... Oopsie!

I am forgetting all of the common words! People keep having to nicely jump in and give me the word so I can continue on...so embarrassing...

"words are hard" is my motto right now. I forgot a weekly standing appointment...that I had an alarm for...

Sooooo many words, nouns especially! I am constantly leaving my phone weird places and at work I have to triple check my notes at the end of the day to make sure I didn't mistype any critical information about my brides' orders/preferences.

This morning I realized I put a wet load of laundry on the couch instead of in the dryer last night 🤦‍♀️

I woke up and freaked out a couple weeks ago because I thought I forgot hubbs' birthday. It was April 18th and I absolutely did not forget, but my brain is still somehow certain that I did.

I put dirty dishes in the bathroom sink. I put sour cream back into the cupboard.

My husband came up to me and said very nicely "sweetie, you've been leaving food out on the counter. I come downstairs after you fall asleep and there are brand new things of milk, pasta sauce, jelly etc all just left out on the counter. " Whoops.

Y'al, I had to ask my hubby's family to wait for me in the hall so that I could remember that in order to leave our place I would need to put on shoes and have my keys. I couldn't remember the most basic things with anyone talking around me and legitimately almost left barefoot

I put the TV remote in my water glass. Then ten minutes later I almost dropped my phone in my water glass. 🤦🤣

@ferret22 Is your phone waterproof...? And did the remote survive?

I know I did something that was almost astonishingly preggo-brained, but I can't for the life of me remember what...

Preggo brain is starting to slow me down at work so I get out later from trying to hold my train of thought while writing my wrap-up notes. I feel so bad for the closers!

My phone is waterproof thank goodness. The remote is in a bowl with rice to dry out lol.

I almost recycled 90 days worth of prescription allergy meds (Singulair / montelukast) because my brain didn’t differentiate between the brown Costco pharmacy bag and the brown cardboard box they sat in (even after I emptied out the other food). Considering garbage and recycling pickup is today, I got lucky that I had a hunch I HAD TO FIND THEM last night.

I started driving to work with my son still in the back 🤦🏽‍♀️ I forgot to take the exit to his daycare

I made two duplicate grocery orders because I forgot I made the first one!  You should've seen my face when I got the second order...

I guess the only silver lining is I'm forced to cook/meal prep for the next week??
