You are trying to drive your car only to realize the car is not turned on and the keys are still in your coat pocket.

That had to cause some tears.

When you get in the car without shoes on on multiple occasions.

Sometimes I ask DS to raise his legs when I'm changing his diaper, and then I wait lol. Our DD who is 28 months 'helps' during her diaper changes.

When you are doing laundry and go to switch out loads just to realize you never turned on the dryer for the previous load.

Or when you think you did a whole load of laundry and fold the entire basket of dirty laundry. Yuck!

You almost get in the shower with your bra or underwear on because you're trying to hurry so fast before your baby goes hysterical.

aislinsmom · November 2013

You can't remember if you've showered or brushed your teeth yet.

when you put the bottles in a pot of water to sterilize and forget about them until you smell a horrible burnt plastic smell and come find them completely melted to the pan.

When you're walking around the house with your boob hanging out because you forgot to put it away after nursing. I almost answered the door like that once.

You forget your own phone number when someone asks.

When you dream you fed your LO for another night feeding and wake up to them crying convinced you JUST fed him!! Thank goodness I track in my phone! This is almost nightly!

Skalbrecht · November 2013

You wake up patting the air or your stomach because you think you are burping the baby, but they are already back in bed and so are you.

RoosterWrangler · November 2013

I woke up in a panic last night because I thought I had fallen asleep with the baby on me when he was actually sound asleep in his room. I don't think my fiancé appreciated being woken up to the sound of me frantically yelling, "WHERE'S THE BABY?!?" Oops.

Skalbrecht · November 2013

So glad it's not just me air patting and panicking!

This happened to DH and I the first week week we were home and we each thought the other one had the baby. DH leapt up and ripped all of the sheets off the bed meanwhike DS was soundly sleeping in his PNP silently laughing at us.

I did the opposite. I woke up at 6:30 am in a panic thinking I had accidentally slept the whole night without feeding her. This was in the first few weeks when I still needed to feed her every few hours. It took a minute for me to realize I had fed her a few hours earlier.

This would happen to me all the time with DS1. I would wake up thinking I fell asleep with him in my arms and that I had dropped him. It was such an upsetting feeling.

ravenclaw1 · November 2013

I sleep with a teddy bear (I know... It's silly). I woke up one morning in Alice's first week home, and my bear was buried under the covers down by my stomach. I freaked the hell out, thinking it was Alice. It took me about 30 seconds to realize it wasn't

I totally did this at Carter's! Never was able to come up with it. She was like how about email and I had a hard time with that too!! I think the cashier thought I was a moron.

When you stop up the sink to hand wash something and forget to turn the water off because you get distracted by LO.

Amen! Add to this leaving the house without deodorant.

Last night I finally got to cuddle with MH in bed. I was cradling his arm when he rolled over. I freaked, thinking his arm was LO and nearly yanked his arm out of its socket to "prevent the baby from falling". Of course our little guy was fast asleep in his crib...

I do this with my glasses a lot too.

Mine is when you have baby's legs in his one piece before you realize that you didn't finish putting his diaper on. And not learning from the first or tenth time you have done it.

I wake up at least once per night thinking I fell asleep nursing and frantically look for DD in the bed or floor before seeing she's in pnp next to me.

wlux · November 2013

When you leak through a breast pad at night and you are too tired to get out of bed so you grab the most absorbent thing in arms length and shove it in your bra. (Yeah... Just did that)

ejb23 · November 2013

Just thought of another...when I take DD out of her carseat in the store as she's fussy then forget to buckle her seat belt when we get back in the car. Ugh mom fail!
