I'm not sure if we've done this lately or at all, but I thought it could be interesting. I don't know if Pregnancy Brain is a real thing, but it sure feels like it sometimes!

I accidentally put my phone on the top shelf of the nursery closet when i was grabbing a blanket to take to home depot to match paint. Go get paint and supplies. hours later I can't find my phone. Have all my family look for it. I swear its at home depot so i have 3 people at the store looking up and down the isles for it. Download the find my iphone app on my ipad and all the sudden it starts beeping in the closet... i felt like an idiot.
@KMD1106 Doh! At least it's your dad.
@L1C4gal Aw, man. Glad you were able to hit the reset button and start over!
I had to renew my PALS (Pediatric Advanced Life Support) before the end of the month. I waited until the end of the month and signed up for a class last Thursday (because I've been picking up extra shifts to hopefully qualify for FMLA). I went to the class but couldn't find it. I asked a security guard and he assured me there weren't any happening that day. I checked my phone and turns out I went to the wrong location. UGH! So I haul ass (across town) to the correct location and again can't find the conference room. I find someone that works there and she couldn't find it either. We found a security guard who tells me it's in the building across the street. AHHHHHH! I storm in, out of breath, 40 minutes late trying to explain my crazy morning and all I get from the instructor when I ask if I can still take the course, "Nope. Sorry." I end up going to work to see if my boss will let me work (so I don't lose anymore hours towards my FMLA qualification) and he's being an a$$hole like the instructor! Long story longer, I end up having to pick up 2 extra shifts to make up for this mess and end up taking the PALS course on the last day of the month (yesterday). Good thing I passed!

I need the house to unlock the key.
It's time to turn on the bath and take a water.
Luckily, nothing too embarrassing.

Drove to the wrong doctors office.
Paid my water bill twice in two days...
My biggest pregnancy brain issue was earlier this week. We've been down to one car for a few weeks so I've been using my husbands keys (has the non-working car key on them) for when I was at work and he had my working car. He got the part he needed to fix his car and we looked all around the living room for the keys I swore I had left on the end table. No luck, he's getting annoyed and I'm irritated that they aren't where I knew I left them. So we hunted for an hour or more before I pulled them out if my back pocket because I had worked that day. I didn't realize the car key was attached to the keychain. I bawled and for the first time he admitted that pregnancy brain was real. Glad he finally got it!

I also kept walking into the closet where I keep my house cleaners and then leaving only to remember I needed toilet bowl bleach when I got back to the bathroom across the house. 15 minutes of my life I will never get back.

I do have two post-partum stories to share, though. One was with DS. DH and I were so sleep deprived because DS was harder than the average newborn and we had to go in for daily weight checks on him due to his poor weight gain (that's why he was harder than average--feeding was LONG and hard.) When we were driving back from one of the weight checks we missed our turn and didn't notice it for about a mile (we were not on a fast road, so a mile was a lot of time and a lot of turns in the interim, and we entered the next town.)
With DD I had taken her and maybe DS as well to a sandwich shop to pick up an order when she was just about 5 days old. While I was waiting in line someone rushed in and was like, "were you driving the blue corolla?" I was like, "yes..." and they said that it was in the middle of the parking lot blocking other cars. Turns out I had not put the brake on (it is stick shift) and it had rolled into the middle of the lot. Thankfully not into the road, or a pedestrian, or myself or other family members, etc. But it was bad. And I had to deal with it while scrambling with the kids without losing my place in line/order. To top it off, someone's reaction to seeing this fiasco was to say, "how old is your baby? You shouldn't take out a baby who is that young!" Well how the fuck else am I supposed to get lunch, pick up my son, etc, lady? And that's really what you want to say when someone is clearly struggling?! If she wanted to volunteer to do those things for me I'd happily oblige. Not every new parent has family or close friends to do everything for them in the weeks postpartum. ugh.
Pregnancy brain made me... open one pill bottle, pour some into my hand, then open a second bottle, pour some into my hand... then grab the pill bottle lid and try to screw it back on... but it wasn't working... so I kept trying... and then I'm staring down at the lid trying to figure out why it's not fitting... and trying to put it back on top, and it's still not lining up right... is it broken or something?... and then I realized, duh, I'd picked up the lid for the other bottle. I literally stood there, staring at it, for like a minute, before I even noticed. Different size bottles, and diff colors, completely. I mean, really.
