Baby brain!

You guys, this kid better be a genius because it is sapping all my brain power! Today I was signing an anniversary card for a coworker and wrote "Happy Abnormality!"

What has baby brain made you bungle up today?

  • Haha. I've gotten hit in the spelling department (again...it happened with DS too). Also, yesterday I definitely put the milk back in the fridge and set the cap NEXT to it...not on it. DH was confused when he opened the fridge to find it that way.

  • This is how I feel. But without the drugs

  • I pulled my car into the garage and walked into my house and realized I left my car on. 
    Due May 10th!
  • This morning someone asked me where H and I went on our honeymoon... And I couldn't remember for the life of me. OOPS! H would be so disappointed.
  • I packed for my camping trip the way my H would have. Didn't bring my winter coat.. nearly forgot the bedding.. didn't bring my book... brought my good winter gloves rather than my hunting ones. I felt like such a mess.

  • Definitely affecting my vocabulary. And order of words.
    I joined a call yesterday and the lady asked how I was and I said "How are you? I'm fine thanks.... wait, strike that, reverse it... I'm fine thanks, how are you?!" we laughed.

  • I signed my nephews birthday card with his dad's name (my brother) instead of my husbands name!!
  • I just feel like I'm in a fog. Thinking is too hard and speaking is draining. Especially yesterday trying to get words out was literally nauseating. Trying to take care of a toddler a farm a house and grow another kid while remembering what I am doing one minute to the next is Killing me.
  • I was filling out a job application yesterday and in 2 different spots I wrote the wrong date. No not just Oct. 7 or something close. I wrote 2017!!

    I wrote 2010 on something the other day!
  • I spent an hour looking for the breakfast smoothie I had made for myself. Just to find in about 24 hours later. On top of the fridge. And - since I live in the tropics - a disgusting mess....

  • I thought the dance class I teach was at 5 instead of 4:45, even though classss have been going on for over a month now. Needless to say, I walked into the studio five minutes late with a class of girls in the waiting room staring at me running in frantically
  • I feel you so much on this! Forming sentences have been becoming increasingly difficult!
  • Im already really bad at meal planning so I frequent the store about every 2-3 days. Today I wound up going 3 friggen times because I forgot Milk for DD. Need. Brain. Back.
  • I was looking for my iPhone for hours tonight, went into the fridge for a drink and my phone was placed on top of a Tupperware container ..

    Yesterday someone posted that their baby had a checkup that day. I totally misread 'checkup' as 'ketchup' and spent a good five seconds wondering why an unborn baby would have ketchup.

    I have this habit of taking the cap off a bottle, setting it down on the counter and then inevitably losing it. My husband thinks this is my biggest quirk. It used to annoy him, but now he just laughs. I can't blame it on pregnancy brain, either; as long as I can remember, I've had bottles in my fridge/cabinet sans caps because I've put the cap somewhere and lost it.

  • I put fingernail polish remover on a cotton ball this morning so that I could get the leftover polish off my nails and I definitely almost put it on my eye. Luckily I caught myself when it was thisclose to touching!

  • Thanks for the morning laugh everyone! Lol...these are great.
    I didn't realize that was part of it all...I'm a FTM :)

    I tried to unlock my house with my car remote!! lol I also chopped up some vegetables on a cutting board last night, and when I went to through away the ends of the veggies, I took the whole chopping board to the trash can like I usually do, but this time I threw away the chopping board as well and just walked away! LOL

    LMAO! omg, I'm dying over here with that one lol...
  • I used Sprayway Glass Cleaner on my hair this morning instead of Hair Spray because DH left the glass cleaner on the counter in the spot where I usually leave my hair spray.  Well that was an exciting morning of 2 showers before 7am.....

    Haha! I made a 2 minute pause while dating something yesterday...I was stuck on the year. It took me a little bit to get the 2015 out. Unbelievable lol

    Lol. I've definitely thrown away...or almost thrown away things I didn't mean to. Baby brain can be entertaining, but in reality, the brain undergoes some changes during pregnancy that can cause some chaos for us in the meantime. It's actually pretty cool: https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2015/01/what-happens-to-a-womans-brain-when-she-becomes-a-mother/384179/ :)
  • @beff12 I put antibacterial hand soap on my toothbrush this morning and didn't realize it until it was thisclose to my mouth, and only because it smelled like gardenia. Thank god I hadn't switched to unscented in the bathroom yet!


  • Oh no @LadySamLady! Gardenia does not sound like a good toothpaste flavor haha!

  • Today morning, I measured and took out red beans to soak for a few hours for dinner. When I went back to the kitchen after an hour, I didnt find them soaking. I still don't know where did I leave them!! Did I put it back in the jar or threw it in the dustbin - Can't remember for the life of me!!!! :))
