Pregnancy Brain

Yes.. I promise you, this is real, and it has taken me on FULL FORCE! I swear I have been the clumsiest, most FORGETFUL pregnant woman.. and there can be no other explanation.

Saturday my husband and I decided to go for a drive and upon returning I took my daughter out of her car seat, house keys in hand, unlocked the front door and went straight to the bathroom (another pregnancy perk!) leaving my husband and son in the dust. I’m pretty sure they made it into the house by the time I was stepping out of the bathroom lol.

A few hours later I realized that I needed to run to the store to return some redbox movies that I kept forgetting to grab every time I’d leave the house.(I refused to be charged for one more day) Except there was one problem.. I couldn’t find the car keys ANYWHERE. Retracing my steps from our last outing I recalled unlocking the front door and heading straight to the bathroom.. they weren’t in there, and they weren’t in the door.. The keys weren’t in their usual spots either..

I asked my husband if he had them, or if he knew where they were.. He did not have them, and he was just as stumped as I was. So he asked me when the last time i had them was and I told him.. we actually retraced my steps, but this time, Hubby looked somewhere I had never even thought of.. The trashcan in the bathroom! I HAD THROWN THE CAR KEYS IN THE TRASH! wow.. that’s a first. We certainly had a laugh, and I finally got to return those stinking movies after 30 minutes of searching.. This ladies, is why my husband is the best. :-P HAHA

Later that weekend, 6am Sunday morning to be exact, My daughter woke up, empty bottle in hand. When I walked into her bedroom to change her diaper etc. She handed me this empty bottle with an expression on her face like, “just get the milk, and nobody gets hurt”

So I left her room and headed downstairs to fill up her bottle, Only to slip and fall down the stairs on my butt. Thankfully, It was only 10 steps and there was no tumbling involved ;-) Little Baby Girl is fine, I walked away with an achey back and a pulled muscle in my leg.

Finally, This happened not 15 minutes ago when I ordered A Quizno’s Sub. I told the girl over the phone that our address was 972, when really it is 927. I had her driving up and down our street looking for 972.. After she called me twice telling me she couldn’t find the place, I stepped outside and tried giving her directions, When I saw her driving by I said, “i see you I’m standing outside” she stopped and said… “Ohh your 927! you told me 972!” WOW….. boy did I feel stupid.. And here I was thinking this delivery girl was directionally challenged. After apologizing 3 or 4 times and tipping her larger than I think I’ve ever tipped a delivery person, She went on her way.. Hopefully, they’ll still deliver to me! And yes, I let her know that it was the pregnancy brains fault, not mine. ;-)
