Pregnancy Brain

A place to write all of our "WTH was I thinking?" moments and other stupid things we do as our growing babies continue to suck out our common sense.

Over the last week I've been writing emails and texts to coworkers and supervisors about the fact that I'm starting leave earlier than planned. I've been trying to say that I "lined up" people to cover my shifts..
But my brain somehow forgot how to spell the word "lined"... And I attempted to spell it as "ligned" multiple times. Literally the whole week. I just figured it out today and I feel like a moron.. I'm sure everyone at work now thinks so as well.

Oh man. I know I had a bad one the other day, but I can't remember what it was... pregnancy brain inception!

I forgot how to get to a town over from ours for our date night and SO had to direct me the right way to go

I've literally forgotten how to do parts of my job. Or I'll be in the middle of something and can't remember what it is I was doing. I had to email someone in a different department and ask them how to do something I've been doing for YEARS and actually helped process out... *facepalm*

i think it was last week but I was trying to leave work and I couldn't find my car keys. I searched for 20 mins before realizing I did valet in the morning because there were no open parking spots

I probably shouldn't even be working for safety reasons anymore. I frequently find myself just staring at my computer thinking "hmmm I should be doing something" when in reality I have like 5 things that need to get done... my poor co-workers have been so gracious to me. Only 10 shifts left!

My brain hasn't so much been forgetting things as playing little loops of things that are upsetting. Like yesterday, a neighbor kid antagonized one of our pet goats and she knocked him back (he's fine, but it could have been bad); I keep seeing it over and over in my head.
Also, I was showing a photo of the freshly-painted nursery to DH's stepdad. The photo was on my phone and DH's stepdad looked at the one photo and then started flipping through my photofeed. Wtf? I was like, "stop, it's just the one photo." He was like "what?" DH and I had to explain to him that it was rude to go through files on someone else's phone. Ugh. Anyway, I keep seeing his finger swiping across my screen and reliving that feeling of, "OMG. What is even in that album?!?!"

I tried to leave the house today with no pants on. In my defense, dst always messes me up (I had a sleep hangover or something) and it's unseasonably warm so I didn't really notice the breeze

I had my keys and purse in my hand and went to slip on my shoes to go out the back door and then realized oops, I need to head back upstairs!

At at four-way stop half the road on my right was traffic coned, but there was also a person sitting at the stop waiting her turn. My brain decided since I couldn't go that way, no one could be on that road and totally blacked out that she was even there. Not too big a deal, but also not safe.

I tried dressing DD2 in DD3s clothes this morning. I was getting pissed because nothing was fitting right. I thought my dryer had shrunk everything and even texted DH that we needed a new set.
The funny part was DD2 was so patient with me and a few minutes later said, "mommy, that's not my shirt."
That's when I realized I had been digging through the wrong dresser drawer.

I have had DD’s Santa pictures booked for months. I have talked about them, talked to her about them, made sure DH was going to go with us. They were Saturday and I totally forgot. At 4:00, im sitting in the living room in my gown and DH said to dd “it’s about time for you pictures”. I freaked out. Haha. We made it with 3 mins to spare.

So... yesterday, in an attempt to clean up my desk before today's investor walk through, I may have recycled/shredded my to-do lists for this week and for the prep I still need to finish before maternity leave. Not sure if it was accidentally, or subconsciously on purpose.

babybison · November 2017

Just missed my mouth with the water bottle and now it's all over my sweater.

@babybison Baby brain has made me SO clumsy when eating!! I never used to spill food on myself before pregnancy, now I wear some part of every damn meal. I planned to eventually sell my maternity clothes on Poshmark, but I think I have maybe 1 or 2 shirts that I haven't basically ruined (yet).

babybison · November 2017

@djd0404 It's like what little depth perception I had is totally gone!

collectiveliving · November 2017

Just, I feel all of these. Too out of it and tired to even come up with a unique one.

babybison · November 2017

I feel like I post too much on this thread. Anyway...
Since it's my birthday month I've been getting coupons and emails that say Happy Birthday. So when I logged on to Amazon and their banner said Happy Birthday Alexa, I was really confused because that is not my name. And then I got legit upset that they would get it wrong. And then I felt really stupid.

Lol @babybison

Sooo I just spent a good chunk of time panicking about car seat checks. There's one on November 18th and December 16th with the local PD. And I was like, "OH MY GOD December 16th is way too late! What am I going to do?! Why did I wait so long?!"

...Yeah...I thought November 18th had already passed. It might've been because when I was looking up infant CPR classes I was avoiding that date because we have a few things that might be going on, but whatever we end up doing we're going to spare the time to go to this thing!

I made some hot chocolate at work this morning. Couldn't find a lid so I tried to carry it to my desk and burnt the crap out of my knuckles. I had to sit holding my hand against my water bottle full of ice for 2 hours until the burning stopped. Made for a not so productive day since typing one handed isn't ideal...oops.

My husband was discharged yesterday from hospital after brain surgery and I had to drive into Boston to get him and bring clothes. It was also trash/recycling day. I had his clothes in one plastic bag and the recycling in another bag. The clothes somehow went into the recycling and the recycling was just left next to the door. I showed up with just his jacket.
