I am not going to survive this PG.

in Austin Babies

I have NEVER EVER been so scatter-brained in my life.  I can't stand it.  I feel like my mind is just fluttering.  In fact, the mommas at the last few playdates can probably attest to my flighty-ness.  

So, I lost my debit card a few days ago.  I swear it's in my car (I mean I use it to get fast food every time I put my keys in the ignition).  And today, I accused my husband and the restaurant I had lunch at yesterday of holding my purse hostage.  I came home since the manager of the restaurant isn't coming in till 3pm so I could sulk and it is sitting on the kitchen table.  

I had pg brain the last two pg's but NEVER this bad.  I can't even remember what I walk into a room for.  I get the car and I kind of feel like I am aimlessly driving at times.  WHAT is wrong with me?!  

At least I haven't lost my children... YET.

Thanks for listening.  Now off to apologize to my husband and the restaurant for my absentmindedness.

    You need to do puzzles.  Like word puzzles and challenging brain things.  I have a Mensa daily calendar just so I'll do something every day.  Maybe after dinner or during some alotted time in the day you can sit down for five minutes and commit to helping yourself out.

    When I took a certain rx, it made me terribly forgetful and loopy all the time.  (I'm still afraid some nesties think I'm a total space cadet bc I met with them during this period.)  When I finally got off it, my neurologist  encouraged me to read and do puzzles as much as possible.  Something about keeping the grey matter active will keep your brain functioning much more effectively.

    Good luck.

    LOL pg brain is awful. I am always the first one in my office and I always deactivate the alarm. When I was pg, I forgot the code one morning. Could not remember it for the life of me. Entered in a bunch of wrong codes, the alarm went off and the cops came with their guns drawn. So embarassing.

    Yup.  I feel ya.  My brain feels cloudy.  I don't know why I walk into rooms.  I walk in the wrong direction (which sucks because I suffer from fatigue also, so it is wasted energy). 

    I have told my DH that he should prooooobably "check my work" while I am pregnant this time...but don't do it with me knowing because I will get mad because he doesn't trust me! ha! 

    I left my wallet at the pump at the gas station.  I went to go get dinner at McDonalds and panic'd cause I couldn't find it.  I called the station and someone (thankfully) had taken it to the cashier.  *doh*

    My boss likes to say that you lose 10% of your brain power for each child you have, so he's down 30%.  Wink  That makes the Duggars down 200%?  (I feel your pain and this kid isn't even out yet!)

    i can so empathize. #3 has really fried my brain. i am often talking to people and have these weird awkward pauses...my brain really has to think to come up w/words. i don't even make sense on a message board!

    I can't even imagine adding pg brain onto having two little ones. It took me five (5!) trips to the car and back into the house today to finally remember all our stuff before heading to the park.

    I'll keep an eye out for your guys and scoop 'em up if I see them wandering around asking, "Are you my mommy?" Smile

    I know alllllllll about your PG brain.  If you want me to call in the mornings and remind you to eat, brush your teeth, that you have 2 kids, etc., just say the word.

    I know the feeling.  My staff at work is about ready for me to go on maternity leave!
