What has been your worst case of baby brain so far?

I swear that if my head wasn't attached I would lose it. And I'm about ready to be okay with that because it's worthless anyways. I can't remember what I ate for breakfast two days ago, what days I made plans to hang out with who, let alone where I happened to lose my wallet yesterday on my 400 mile road trip from Salt Lake to Boise... Good grief, I was already a space cadet before I was expecting, but this is just a whole new level of 'I have no recollection of that conversation'...

Help me feel not so pathetic...

    Picking out juice the other day. I really wanted cranberry raspberry juice. I couldn't find it, thought I found it (grabbed Apple raspberry), then DH found it, and I grabbed the wrong one (plain cranberry.) thankfully DH was with, or I would've gone home with a different kind of juice and been sad, since I had a major craving, haha. DH thought it was hilarious!

    I feel so foggy! My sister warned me it would happen- she's normally very organized but had to write down everything all the time. I can't remember anything! It makes me feel out of sorts and kinda stupid.
    Worst case? Forgetting if I served my customers their salads yet at work.

    I forgot my wallet at the grocery store 3 times when I was pregnant with DS. This time around I forgot what I wanted for lunch and ordered the wrong thing!

    I couldn't spell towels on a list I was making for things we needed to pick up. And to this moment, it still doesn't look right to me. I literally just googled it. I also wore two different types of tall black boots to work last week. They came up the same height on me but the one had a very noticeable zipper on the back. I'm losing it.

    I was closing the windows and doors getting ready to go to the store. I shut everything walked back into the dining room re opened the sliding door and left for the store, leaving the door open. I got to the store forgot everything I needed and came home empty handed. I hope I don't stay this way! Lol

    I haven't had baby brain so much, but I have lost my time management completely! I am one of those people that is NEVER late! I find myself struggling to get out the door in time.

    I am usually a pretty decent driver and very aware of my surroundings but ever since my 6th week of pregnancy (now just past 12) I feel like the worst driver ever! The other day my light was red and the left turn lane was green and I stepped on the gas and got half way through the intersection before noticing the traffic still in line in my rear view and cars going the other direction. I quickly backed into my spot (super embarrassing) and it scared the crap out of me! My DH has noticed and jokes that I've become the worst D.D. Lately because I drive like a drunk person. :( I've felt a lot safer having my husband drive us lately. I hope this improves quickly.

    I left my garage door opener in the car inside the garage, which isn't attached to our house so there was no other way in. When we got inside with my husband's remote, we discovered I'd left the inside light on so the car battery was dead!

    Dh and I were havung a conversation and he brings us somebody both of us have known for years, her name is Jessica. I said Jessica who? He says her last name and I swore to him I had no idea who this person was! Lol I couldnt remember ever hearing the name. Of course it came back to me shortly and now we get a kick out of it.

    I left an entire gallon of milk on the counter after I looked right at it and told my self to put it up. And then I forgot that DH doesn't like turkey lunch meat. The worst part was I was really proud of myself for getting turkey instead of ham. Say what?

    I drove the whole way to work with my slippers on!  I forgot to change into my heels for work and had to go to the nearest Target to buy a new pair.  Thank god it was 8 am and not a lot of people were in the store.  I am sure I was a sight in my business attire and house slippers.  Oops!!!

    This is the BEST! Hahahaha! =))

    All of these are so good... I found my wallet!! Somehow it ended up finding it's way into my mom's purse.

    Another thing I can't handle is answering the phone and forgetting who called. I turn to give the phone to my boss and I'm like "um....it's somebody from some company.... " so embarrassing

    I walked into our shop and asked my husband where the quad (ATV) was. It was right beside me. 

    Then at Easter dinner, I cleared my plate into the garbage and then went to put it in the dishwasher.........it was a paper plate...

    I put my keys down yesterday before my dr appt, thought they were in my purse (I had gone to visit my mom before the appt) and thought that I had locked my keys in my house and couldn't go to the dr. She lives next door to me. I was in tears, she helped me look for the keys and they were literally right next to me. Thank goodness she was there to help me find them or I wouldn't been late to the dr searching for the keys.

    I was out shopping at our local mall on sat. I left and was almost home before I realize I didn't have my wallet. Pulled over to check bags and it wasn't there so I called around Dillard's and they couldn't find it. Needless to say of course I turned around back track all my steps in Dillard's because I swear thAts where I payed it down at. I even went to customer service to leave my phone number if it came up. Anyway after all that searching and no red wallet I decided to go back to my car and there was one bag that I didn't check. My wallet was in my old navy bag. Silly me!!!!!! :))

    I heated up a can of soup for my son, without noticing that it was condensed, and didn't add a can of water.  I remember thinking there wasn't a lot of broth, but I assumed it was "because it's for kids"??  He seemed to like it though.

    This is my most favorite thread! It feels good to feel "normal". Pregnancy does some crazy stuff to us!

    Haha, oh man. I've done it all...like the slippers thing (but I was in jeans and going to a not-so-lovely Walmart so I said eff it!). I lose my keys all the time and I NEVER lose my keys. I have an English degree but forget what the most simplistic words mean or how to spell them. I answer the majority of the phone calls at work and my name recall was already pretty short lived; it's painfully dismal now.... 

    I don't know if this was due to pregnancy brain (I NEVER forget to turn stove burners off, ever), or clumsiness because I didn't actually intend to touch the hot stove burner, but I burnt the crap out of my hand this weekend while "testing" if the burner was still hot. I felt SO dumb, and still do looking at the burns.  :((

    I keep letting the dog out and forgetting that she's outside! Terrible! And I'm constantly heading off to do something and then getting side tracked. This morning I went to do invites for my sister's baby shower and realized that, after paying bills, transferring money, and calling on a furniture warranty, I totally forgot. Again. For day three in a row. Fail.

    Still so good!!! I get so distracted these days. I'm rounding the corner and coming into my second trimester and with it I've gained a boost in energy. Unfortunately my brain didn't get the memo. It's like my body signed up for the multitasking Olympics, but my brain's on vacation. All I can think about is what I'm going to eat for lunch... =P~ such is life

    I searched and searched and searched the entire house for my cat keys... about an hour later realized they were in my pocket the whole time. My husband tried so hard but eventually lost it and started laughing.

    Someone should probably take my car away with the baby brain I've been having. A couple weeks ago I turned the wrong way onto a one-way street, and had to make an awkward U-turn to get out of there. And then a week later I hit a parked car while trying to park. Barely scratched it, but I'm usually such a good driver!

    I left the garage open 3 times in one week and leave the stove on all the time. Husband just follows me around closing things and turning things off.

    I have trouble putting together sentences! Someone cut us off while we were driving and I promptly yelled out "ass boy " ! We have started to use the term regularly :))

    I'm laughing so hard at this I have tears in my eyes!! I struggle to come up with words so I am just at the point where I make things up or I have to explain the word so someone else can tell me what it is.

    I have a standing appointment at the salon with Ashley, my stylist and Jenny my best friend. When I walk in the receptionist greeted me and asked if she could help. I froze. I normally greet them first and walk right past them because they know were I am headed. But I stood there for a minute or two before I came up with Hi. Then struggled to get "I am meeting Ashley and Jenny". We all giggled and they were like yup we know:). I was so embarrased

    Getting ready for work one morning I "thought" I was wearing brown pants. Once I got to work I kept thinking these pants never used to be this baggy or wide at the leg. It wasn't until 1030 that I realized I was wearing my grey pants, which have always fit loose as opposed to my brown pants. It was s very weird feeling knowing I did that!
