What's the worst your pregnancy brain has put you through?

What a hell of a day I've had so far

had to go to the bank. You would think that's a no brainer type of errand right? HA! So I parked the car, got out and left the keys in the ignition. Went into the bank, paid a bill, took some money out and then proceeded to leave my debit card in the machine. Went back to the car and that's when I realized I left it on.

I stopped at the convenience store on the way home to find I had left my debit card in the bank machine. I quickly called the bank and had them cancel it.

I'll go get a new one tomorrow, I don't think I should go out anymore today.

Which got me curious as to who here has the prego brain bug too. I wouldn't mind hearing other stories

Last week I locked the keys in the house so we were locked out. My husband had to break into our own house and he was NOT impressed. (ha)

I prepped an entire crock pot full of pork loin and potatoes and left it in the fridge over night. I forgot to start the damn thing the next morning.

MIL tried to help save the day. She went to our house took it out of the fridge and turned it on low just as DH asked her to.

However........IT WASNT PLUGGED IN!!!!!!!!!!!!

I went home to a cold crock pot full of ruined pork loin and veg.

I cried. A lot.

I was going to the arboretum here to play with my new camera. I ended up leaving my stroller for DD at home and realized it once I was pulling in the parking lot. Oops...grandma was with me so I decided to just let her chase after DD. We went in and I was putting together the camera, turned it on and realized I left the memory card in the computer. So my trip was a bust and it wasn't cheap admission either.

At least I bought a membership that day since I knew I was going to go back and try to save some money.

The other night in the shower I put shampoo on my puff instead of body wash then used conditioner on my face instead of face wash. I was so confused and disoriented when I realized. I couldn't figure what I had washed and what I hadn't so I washed everything (hair, body, face) again using the correct soaps. My husband commented when I got out that I'd been in there a long time.

I've also been forgetting words in conversation.

Last pregnancy I had just finished brushing my teeth and went to put the cap on the toothpaste but for some reason I couldn't find it. I looked on the counter, floor, drawers it was like it got up and walked away. So a few minutes later my husbands brushing his teeth and I see the cap and ask him where is was cause I lost it. He told me it was on the toothpaste he just looked at me like I was crazy.

The worst thing that's happened this pregnancy is I lost my house keys.

THIS. Happens all the time. I then get impatient with SO when he can't guess the word either. It's all so stupid lol.

I forget weather or not I've already said something. I'll make a comment to H and he'll say "yeah you told me that 10 minuets ago"

the worst it ever was, was when I was pregnant with DS1 I was a server back then and forgot to bring people things that they had asked me for.

Yesterday I couldn't understand why my tea bag really wasn't brewing in my mug of water, but eventually decided oh well and took the first sip. Right, I had forgotten to heat the water in the kettle first.

I can't remember anything if I don't write it down. DH is used to asking me to pick up something for him at the store and I get it no problem. Now I instantly tell him to add it to the list since there's no way I'll remember even 10 minutes later.

I forget words too, but the worst was forgetting to turn off the panini press for an hour. I started smelling something burning and wandered back into the kitchen, then panicked when I realized what I had done.

I have sticky notes for EVERYTHING at work. It's really bad. I'm sure they're going to start charging me for them at some point. Excessive office supply usage or something.

My desk and computer monitor are all a lovely shade of yellow these days.

I have verbal dyslexia at times, but it's horrible now. Not only do I switch the first letters of words... but whole words in the sentence get jumbled up. I feel like the Sherriff of Rottingham!

This. My boss told me the other day he was going to come in that night and throw all my sticky notes (that have notes on them lol) away. I said that's fine but when you're late for everything next week it won't be my fault!

Messed up DS's DOB the other day, and when someone asked me when I was due today it took me a good 5 seconds to think of it.

The worst is losing simple words in conversations though -- especially at work when I'm on the phone and they don't necessarily know I'm pregnant, so I just sound like I have no clue what I'm talking about.

I walked into my office at school one day and had a few things to tell my school secretaty. When I walked in, all the things I wanted to tell her went away...Thankfully they helped me remember everything I needed...this pregnancy brain is for real!

I went to the grocery store to do actual grocery shopping.

I came home with Easter candy. I forgot the real food.

Last week, DH pointed out that I put the chips in the fridge.
This week, after cracking eggs to make scrambled eggs, I proceeded to place the egg carton in the spice cabinet instead of the fridge!
Whoops!!

I keep calling the receptionist at work Victoria. Her name is Veronica.

Oops.

I left my cell phone on top of my car this weekend and drove off. Luckily I had insurance but it was still $200.
