Pregnancy Brain

Ugh! I hate that pregnancy has made me stupid!

I was just at my local grocery store to get a couple of items. When I got home I realized that I had left my phone in the little basket that I left at the self checkout. Of course I realized this after I has already put dinner in the oven. I knew my husband would be on his way home soon so I used my Google Voice account to send him a text. A few minutes later I was wondering why he hadn't responded when I realized I had sent the text to myself. I re-typed the message and just before I sent it I double checked the number I was sending it to and sure enough I had entered my boss' number instead of my husbands. Then I had to sit there for a minute trying to remember my husbands number.

Thankfully I eventually remembered and the message got through to DH. He called and the grocery store has my phone and he will get it on his way home.

This is just my most recent example, but I've been plagued with stupidity for most of this pregnancy. Can someone reassure me that when the baby comes I might regain at least some of my mental faculties?

This sums up my last couple of weeks. I am making the stupidest mistakes that I would normally never make.... at least not on such a frequent basis. Recently at work we suspected an employee of being under the influence and took him to be drug tested, the next day I was talking to a manager about my baby brain antics and he laughed and said I'd better be careful or they would be taking me to get tested next because it just wasn't like me to act like this lol!

Oh gotta love pregnancy brain. DH constantly says: "It's okay, you're pregnant stupid." I get so mad at him, the other day he did something dumb and I told him since he wasn't pregnant he had no excuse for being stupid Stick out tongue
