Pregnancy Brain Fun - PIP

So I've has numerous moments of forgetfulness, confusion, etc that I have chalked up to pregnancy brain. But none quite as obvious as what my husband found when he opened up the fridge tonight. I'm hoping you all can relate...I'm still laughing at myself a couple hours later.

I should add. Those have been in there since last night when I cleaned up the kitchen. I didn't even notice them when I came home over my lunch break and made myself lunch. X_X

    That's funny. I've just been throwing the scissors in the trash a lot lately.

  • Glad I am not the only one I have put seasonings in the fridge instead of the pantry and keep getting things mixed up at work if I go too fast
  • Yep. It didnt happen so much with DD but this time I put her cheerios back in the fridge and I also put a half a can of tuna back in the pantry. Luckily I caught myself both times.

    I haven't really had any misplaced items yet but I did have to call my husband and ask him how I make bratwurst. We always have some in the freezer for quick easy dinners so I make them at least twice a month. I kept staring at them trying to think what the hell I should do! He got a good laugh out of it.
  • I have notice year I am getting to that stage. I think DH would say I am there.
    I have left out food on the counter that is from dinner and put stuff like you did that should be on the counter in the fridge.
    I try and catch myself but have had a few slip ups. At least I know I am in good company.

  • I had to get the pin on my debit card re set the other day because I couldn't remember it. Still can't remember what my pin was!

    I've done that while not pregnant!

  • I stood at the front door for a good 10 seconds trying to unlock it with the unlock button on the car remote.

    Haha this cracked me up...mostly cause I can picture myself doing the same thing.

    You guys all made me feel so much better, glad I'm not alone!

  • I've been puting my takeout trash in the sink and throwing away my forks. I've also been dropping things alot. It's like my hands just forget to hold on to stuff. And cleaning up a smashed jar of pickle chips off the kitchen floor is no fun.

  • Haha! These all crack me up. I'll forget words when I'm trying to tell someone something. One morning I was making waffles and cracked the eggs into the sink. My husband just thought wtf and let the moment pass and about 5 minutes later I realized what I'd done. I keep starting laundry and leaving it in the washer for days. And don't even get me started on how much I've screwed up my accounting at work since being pregnant. It's a mess.

  • I just re-read my April monthly report and told my boss he ought to have had me drug tested. My finest point was telling him I'd done 4 QMS audits, 3 EMS for a total of 3. Then stated I did 2/6 or 16.7% of something. Ohhhhh my. He's either nice or doesn't read my report. Anyway I'm with ya hon!!!!

  • LOL- I can totally relate. I put my mobile phone in the fridge the other day - I was making a snack and went to put away the fixings and the phone went with them. I had to call it to find it and couldn't believe it was ringing in the fridge.

    I've had all kinds of other forgetfulness, but that was the most recent.

  • Arravellar-how far apart are your kids? Mine will be 4 yrs and at first I too thought my brain was permanently screwed but in the last year or so I was back to my witty norms. This time I just really really suck at math whereas last baby stole my ability to hold a conversation and f-Ed my vocabulary.

  • Haha these are hilarious! I also keep forgetting to put the milk back in the fridge. This morning I managed to remember to put it back in the fridge but forgot to put the lid back on! Right now I think I have pregnancy brain because I can't remember what I have done lately and I know there are lots of examples!

  • I keep going to put the milk away in the glasses cabinet. I also go to the wrong cabinets to find things(like I forget where we keep plates). I hope my brain doesn't crap out too badly because I tutor 3 nights a week and I don't need to feel like my 2nd graders are smarter than I am!
