Preggo brain

Um, yes. And it's *bad*. I was at weather.com yesterday trying to find out how hot it was going to be, and I couldn't remember our zip code. I am constantly forgetting what I was going to say, what I went in the other room to do/get, everything. It's like I'm half asleep or on drugs or something. At least DH has a good sense of humor about it and seems to be amused by this, so I can laugh at it rather than pull my hair out!! :LOL

Thanks, Amy! I just called me DH to tell him your story and we both had a good laugh. He keeps wondering why I cannot remember his new work phone number and these stories are helping him understand the true extent of preggo brain! Thanks for sharing.

DH did ask me "you did remember to put on pants this morning, right?"

:LOL

Today I couldn't remember the password to log on to my computer!

Aubrey, being a linguist, I could actually explain that one to ya, but it'll have to wait til I stop laughing so hard. That is a great one!! :LOL

zjande -- at least you replace it with a word -- I just go blank. Ex.is to DH I say "can you look in the (5 second pause) freezer!" yes, that's what it's called, very good, Julia for remembering basic vocabulary. Another one I forget was "sidewalk", i.e. "I was on the (5 second pause) sidewalk!" Meanwhile DH just waits patiently (eyebrows raised) for me to come up with the word !

Lucky everyone is patient with all of you! Mine is so bad I think DH is getting a little ticked off...I can hardly keep anything straight by the time I get home!

I've handed the hairbrush to my daughter and asked her to please brush her teeth far, far too many times lately. And, vice versa. Once, she asked me "is your brain all mixed up?"

Yesterday, I put the cheese in the freezer. Any way to fix that after it's already been done?

This week when writing a check I asked for the date. After the gave me the day, I stared at my check and finally said "What month is it?" After she and I finished laughing (OB receptionist deals with pregnant women all day long), I finished some paperwork, and then realised I'd dated the check 04.

I also keep forgetting to do things I'm in the middle of. I didn't finish putting away the groceries, and the dog got an early crack at this food. Left the yummy leftovers in the car, and couldn't figure out why the car stank the next day. I had to drive back to my house when I was half way to a friends because I'd left the steam cleaner on.

I also do the (5 second pause) thing.

I need a keeper!

Thank you, mamas, for sharing your pregnancy fog stories!

I was driving to a weekly meeting last Monday that I've been attending for months. I suddenly found myself in a totally unfamiliar part of town on a road that had abruptly turned into two lanes, and I had no idea how to get to where I was supposed to go. I turned around, but would linger at each red light thinking, "How in the world do I get there?" I almost just gave up and went home, but I was hoping that if "autopilot" had gotten me so lost, if I could just get to somewhere that I *thought* was familiar, maybe autopilot would take me the rest of the way. It ended up working, but I was 30 minutes late and quite the amusement for the other mothers in attendance.

couldn't remember my daughter's birthdate today...

I have my 2 yr old finishing sentences for me.... "Do you want to get in the ....?"..."bath, mommy?"

I have similar things happpen to me all the time! I make calls, then forget why I'm calling. My spelling has gotten worse.
I simpathize with you.
