Pregnancy Brain! Let's share your best moments

These stories always make me smile so I thought I would share my best one so far this pregnancy.

I woke up this morning feeling incredibly nauseous and the first thought in my head was "OMG what if I'm pregnant???"......

W.T.F? granted I had been having some crazy dreams and wasn't fully awake when this question jumped into my head but I think its a whole new level of pregnancy brain when you forget that your pregnant lol

Ok now lets hear yours ladies!

  • Lol! That's hilarious! Mine aren't too bad, but embarrassing none the less. I'm an 8th grade math and science teacher and I told the kids the second man to walk on the moon was Buzz Arnold (?). I also keep mixing up my waxing and waning crescents. The sad part is, I know the difference, but my mouth just says things when I'm on auto pilot.

    I think some of the kids are thinking they know more than I do. :-)

  • I'm constantly starting sentences but not finishing them, and if anything distracts me when I am talking (a bird flying by, etc) I completely lose my train of thought.  So there is a lot of "ummm, aaaaah, yeah, what was I talking about?" in my brilliant conversation these days!

  • LOL!  All of those sounds like some of my moments.  However, the best one was when I left work to go home.  I got on the subway and was halfway home when I realized that I had driven to work that day.  Yup!  So I have to go all the way back to work and get my car from the parking garage and head home.  I told DH what happened and why I was so late.  He must have laughed for an hour.
  • I was at work and needed to go drop something off for a coworker and jumped in one of the company cars. I put the key in and then tried to put the car in reverse. Well, it wouldn't shift. I tired it numerous times and was about to go in and have one of my other coworkers come out and see WTF was wrong with the car. But before I embarrassed myself doing that, I figured out the problem. I had forgot to turn the key on!!!
  • This one isn't mine, but from a friend who recently had her first LO. I think it's pretty hilarious. 

    She had been craving lots of chocolate milk in her pregnancy, and went to the fridge to get some. She took it out and put it on the island. Then turned back around for a glass. Then she re-opened the fridge looking for the chocolate milk, saw it was gone, and immediately started reaming out her DH for drinking all the chocolate milk! Her DH had been there the whole time and saw her put it on the island 2 seconds before.

    Omg these are all sooo funny but this one is my fav!

    My gems have been washing my face with conditioner, pouring orange juice in my cereal, and oh my gosh, I had three when I started typing this and now I forget, holy crap.

  • These are great ladies!

    I drove to work on Thursday and had walked all the way to my office before I realized I was still wearing my fuzzy slippers! Thank God I didn't have court that day.

    I also keep mixing up my sayings like "don't court your chickens till they're in the bush" or "Don't look a gift horse in the nose" there have been some pretty funny mix ups.

  • I started driving through the car wash with my window open. Quite refreshing on a 40 degree day :)

  • So my boss and I tried to call in for a conference call and the person didn't pick up. So he leaves her a message and concludes with "you can call either one of us back, I'm at extension 5519 and Sheila is at . . ." and turns to me for me to give my number.  

     All I could do was look at him blankly and stammer "umm, it starts with a 6 . . ."

    I'd tell them it's all part of your teaching style and if they catch a mama brain misquote- they get 2 extra pts on the next test!  :)

  • I asked the ladies on the FB page a similar question and told something about me, but.... I can't remember what my mommy brain moment was!!!  How's that?! :)

     

    I did leave Costco w/ my 3 year old daughter and started getting really ticked that the "smart key" on my brand new car wasn't working and when I was trying to unlock it w/ my hand on the handle it wasn't doing anything.  A good 30 seconds of trying and getting mad, I realized it wasn't my van. Stick out tongue

  • Haha I guess mine would be almost getting into the shower with my underwear still on.

  • My recent one is that I unloaded a whole cart of groceries, grabbed my purse from the front of the cart but left my son's toy. It was a new toy and his absolute favorite. DH ran right back to the store to get it when we got home and then deemed me not allowed to make important decisions anymore after that point lol. FINE WITH ME! That toy was sitting right next to my purse but I totally just missed it.

    This is one example of what is happening everyday in my life at this point.

  • I had the water filling the washing machine while I unloaded the dryer... right in to the washing machine.  Apparently washing clean, dry clothes again isn't what you're suppose to do?  ;)

    I also tried to open the wrong car's driver door after a Starbucks run... with the driver still in their car. We both almost had coffee down the front of us from the shock.

  • -Walked in the kitchen when I meant to go to the bathroom

    -Accidentally grabbed laundry soap instead of dishwasher soap (oddly enough, still works).

    -Left my purse in class, luckily my teacher called and had it sitting in her office.

  • LOL it makes me feel a lot better that I'm not the only one.

    I think my most embarrassing one is when I went to give a urine sample to the OB and forgot to pee in the cup. I didn't remember until I went to wash my hands. I tried to go back and fill it but couldn't. I was so embarrassed that I told the nurse that I didn't have to go.

  • Saturday I went right up to the drive thru window without ordering first! Lol my hub didn't notice either. There was a line to so I felt stupid and was cracking up and told the lady at the window I was sorry. Lol

  • I wear contact lenses every day and take them off every night. I have horrible vision (-8.00 and -8.5) so I'm blind with out them, and have to keep my glasses right by my bed. So one night I get up, put my glasses on and go to the bathroom and freak out b/c I can't see anything!!! I panic that I've lost my vision completley and how I knew this day would come! I lost sleep over this. I realized in the morning that I never took off my contacts and I couldn't see a thing because I wore my glasses over them!

    Another morning I actually attempted to put on a brand new pair of contacts on top of my two week old ones that were still in my eye.
