Preggo brain moments!

zmombie · June 2015

okay so I'm having really bad anxiety today, I need something to cheer me up..
What's your craziest pregnancy moment (from food cravings, to stupid moments)

My most recent preggo moment.. For the life of me couldn't remember why I ever spent money on a back seat mirror for the baby.. (Aside from them being able to look at themselves.) if it's on the back of my seat, what good does it do me? Did I need to buy 2? ((3rd time mom here... I should remember how these work))
So then I went to install the car seat in my car (just to see if it fit) and I couldn't get the buckle thru the holes, it wouldn't reach.. So I had a small melt down because how am I supposed to have my baby with me, I don't have the straps to hook into the car!! (Another moment because they were hanging right off the bottom.. Duh!) so I step back and take a deep breath and realized... It's an infant car seat, it don't face forwards!! I turned it around and all of a sudden everything made sense! The mirror goes on the back of the seat. And the buckle does reach because it's meant to....
I went inside laughing at myself and feeling pretty stupid.

I poured water from my brita pitcher into my cereal the other day instead of milk...

I've noticed that I'm just not as concerned about things lately. Friday night I saw that some of my pajamas were missing out of a drawer and I thought oh well who cares. Turns out DH took me on a surprise weekend get away and had packed them. I normally would have looked for them or even asked him and it could have ruined the surprise.

I think my brain is just too focused on finishing up this baby to care about little things. I kind of like it

My bed frame was in storage at my uncles.
When I went to pick it up the other day I somehow managed to completely forget the head board AND the foot board. The two biggest most obvious pieces and I didn't even notice that they weren't being packed up/unpacked at home!

Lol! I keep doing stuff like putting cereal in the fridge and milk on the shelves, and just other stuff, usually when I'm thinking about other things. The car seat thing was like.. Seriously? For weeks I tried to remember how the mirror worked.

I poured cereal into my coffee!

zmombie · June 2015

Oh no! Lol.

Yesterday I went in to pick up lunch for my hubby at a pizza restaurant. I walked in, paid and turned around. Just as I was about to open the door to leave the cashier tells me my food will be ready in a couple minutes. OH YEAH! I NEED TO GET THE FOOD TOO!

I bought a bedskirt that was the wrong size, didn't even realize it until I put the thing on. And I knew what size the bed was! Also, I locked myself out of the house, went around to the backyard to get the hide key- let myself back in... Then literally did the same thing all over again. I kept forgetting my car keys and would lock the dead bolt before closing the door. I felt insane.

I threw away $11k in commission checks. Yep. Luckily my broker was able to cancel them and write new ones.

And then I forgot my dog at a friends house. Went to have dinner with them and then just left. About an hour later she shows up with my dog! She said they laughed so hard and waited to see if I noticed. I couldn't believe it. You know I am close to my dog when I take her to dinner with friends! How could I just forget her?!

I stood in the shower, for a while one day, holding my loofah in one hand and my husband's head and shoulders in the other. I knew something was amiss, but couldn't put it together.

corndogrobot · June 2015

I put the dog dish full of wet dog food in the dishwasher full of CLEAN DISHES. I meant to put it in the fridge.

zmombie · June 2015

Oh wow ladies!!!! Lol! I'm glad about the checks thing.. That would have really sucked. And leaving a dog.. Well at least he was in good hands. Haha.
I went grocery shopping and started to walk off without the bags.. The lady was like "um, ma'am" oops...

I was leaving for work. Had my purse, my snack, my sweater. Walked out locking the door on the way out......And my keys were still inside. My hubs works over an hour away and wasn't due to be home for four hours. Luckily, my sweet coworker came and got me and then hubs picked me up after. I couldn't quit laughing. So silly.

corndogrobot · June 2015

I also put carpet cleaner in the fridge.

oneblessedmess · June 2015

I went to get gas, pre paid inside, and nearly drove away without actually putting the gas in my car. The only reason I realized is because my gas light was still on.

zmombie · June 2015

Haha oh geez! I am so glad I'm not the only one doing crazy things!! I haven't locked keys in anything just yet.. As I have done it many times before, not being pregnant.. But I did walk out without shoes.. I'm lucky to have pants on!

I was texting my husband today and read the last thing I sent- the last part said ". Lilac" I wasn't talking about flowers. I have no idea what that was supposed to be lol he got a good laugh out of it.

mayraverdinn · June 2015

Okay so on Saturday I was at a restaurant and i honestly don't know how I left my hand bag in the part of the seat side I was sitting on and drove off with my sister, 15mins later I remember I had took my hang bag out and called them to let them know luckily they told me they had it and so I went back for it but that made me late to pick up my mom and grandma and they were out waiting for me in this heat! (111degrees) I felt horrible. I also keep forgetting my purse everywhere I go. I keep asking My Husband 'Mmm babe where's my purse'!? Haha I'm so annoying I bet.

I had to take my dog to the vet today. I drive all the way there are realize I forgot my dog. How do you forget the dog when going to the vet! At least I realized it in the parking lot and didn't walk in without her. I had to call them from my car and pretend like I forgot so I could reschedule.

zmombie · June 2015

Oh my gosh! I like to think that all my brain cells are going to the baby to make her so smart!!
My biggest problem is walking into a room and no idea why.. Going to google something and forgetting what, and saying something and forgetting what I was saying... It's so horrible!! My mum started a new heart medication, and it made her very forgetful, so us having a conversation was really interesting.

I keep putting food in different cabinets and then can't find it when I need it. I put lasagna in the oven and an hour later realized I never turned it on. I put a load of laundry in the machine with soap and everything just forgot to push start. I lose my phone about 10 times a day. My favorite was that two nights in a row I forgot to put away leftovers so I had to throw away half of the food which is supposed to be hubby's lunch the next day. At this point I am just glad I haven't forgotten anything really big. I have nightmares about forgetting my son a lot which then wake me up because I'm crying and frantic.

Forgetting to turn the oven on is always better then forgetting the food in there with it on. With my first I was making French fries.. I turned the grease on, on top of the stove and rain to the bathroom... I forgot to turn it down and was taking my sweet time... Burnt half the kitchen down

My dog was flipping out at the door, digging, barking and whining. So I came out and the house was full of smoke! I felt so horrible and stupid and like I was going to ruin her life because I couldn't even cook! Lol

The worst to date was the other day... I was looking everywhere for my keys to leave for work... finally found them still in the door from the night before! I have both sets of car keys on my key ring, along with the alarm key fob for the house... whoopsie! Hubby wasn't too thrilled with me

zmombie · June 2015

Thank god no one decided to come in your house!! Lol

I do this all the time! Even when I'm not pregnant. It drives my husband crazy. So now the door is the first place I look when they are missing!

I left $150 worth of groceries in my car for an hour before I remembered that I had JUST gone grocery shopping. Oops! Hubby helped me bring them inside.
