...brought to you by the fact that I just forgot the word for underwear and said "potato" in its place.
Not joking.

(does it help that MH had been talking about potatoes? No? I'll see myself to some coffee...)

I was writing a check for daycare a few eeeks aginand could not remember the year. At all. Like even knowing DD was born in 2015 and she's 2 and all that did not help me get the year. I just stared at the check for an embarrassingly long time trying to remember.

danvers writing the date is the bane of my existence right now. The receptionist will see me hesitate and go "oh, it's the 12th" and internally I'm like OF WHAT MONTH?!?

I don't think I have any specific cases of pregnancy brain, but everything just takes me forever. Like, if I'm trying to tell a story it's very drawn out with lots of pauses. It's really frustrating for me!

Left my phone in the refrigerator and keys in the pantry. Work is sucking too since I cant remember what projects I worked on just 2 days ago and as crazy as it's been even since like yesterday. Even worse over weekends. I was asked did I work on x project last week, and I just blank stare at the PM.

I went to pump gas and couldn't remember what side of the car the gas tank was on. I've owned this car for 5 years and pumped gas into it probably 300 times.

My keys are constantly 'missing'. My H is going crazy because I keep asking him if he's seen them. They have been in my hand, back pocket or in my purse almost every time. So not actually missing.

I keep hearing things that were not said. For instance, DH was talking about a message board he was reading and I thought he said they contributors were nudists. They are not. DH also had a nose bleed yesterday and I thought MIL told him to stop them, he needed to stop sleeping around. She did not.

I couldn't remember my bank password this morning.
I'm constantly putting things down, but not remembering that I did it or where.

DS was "sweeping" the floor one day, and I forgot what the thing was called. Like, I literally could not think of the word. My friend was just sitting there like "broom?". lol
I've also sat down to do something on the computer, but the second I pull up the browser, I completely forget what it was I needed to do. Ex: sending an e-amil

I went to my hotel room for my umbrella. Changed my shirt, went downstairs, started to leave the building and realized I left my umbrella in the room.

H and I were getting gas a few weeks ago. He pulled up to the wrong side of the pump and I didn't stop him (because it didn't occur to me). Then last week, I pulled into a gas station and was laughing to myself at what my H did. I proceeded to pull into the pump, get out, and wonder why my gas door wasn't on the side nearest the pump. Then I realized I had done the exact same thing. At least I can blame pregnancy brain. 🤷🏼♀️

I'd hate to be the ass that took up two gas pumps that way, but I may use the pregnancy excuse to do it if it happens again hahaha. |

Me again! I'm on desktop and was all sorts of confused when I clicked over to May 2017... because my previous BMB is May 2015. And my current one is obviously October 2017. Derp.

Y'all don't forget the day I told my boss I was going to shit an email. That will forever be one of my most embarrassing moments, but I fully blame it on pregnancy brain.

Tonight on the sewing machine, I kept on stepping on the presser foot and the machine wouldn't go. I was like Shit! don't die on me - machine is like 20+ yrs. A few nights ago, I already had to deal with a major jam! It took me a while to realize that I didn't connect the presser foot to the machine it self!!  So I just went Eff it! and put everything away tonight. |
