My Pregnant Brain

If you've ever been pregnant, you can probably relate to the "I'm losing my mind!" feeling that accompanies pregnancy.  Constantly forgetting things, unable to remember if something got done or not, forgetting how to do things you've done a hundred times.

Well, as I'm sure you can imagine, add two children under the age of eighteen months to the mix, and I've really got no chance at all.  So whenever I do something ridiculous, forget to pack something for the kids, or forget for the one hundredth time to do something on my to-do list, I just blame my "pregnant brain."  It's a pretty handy excuse, actually.  For example, over the past couple of weeks, my husband has been (supposedly) asking me to e-mail him some documents.  Yesterday, he asked me, claiming he has asked four or five times, and although I tend to disagree, I simply say, "I'm sorry.  I don't remember that at all!  Must be my pregnant brain.  If you really need me to do something, you should probably write it down."  Is he right?  Maybe.  But if so, he probably exaggerated slightly.  Am I right?  I have no idea.  I really don't remember!  So, I simply blame my pregnant brain.

Here are just a few other things I have done or forgotten lately, courtesy of my pregnant brain:

• Walked out of the house without my shoes

• Forgot to pay our internet bill, which is usually the first thing to get paid

• Left the water running in the kitchen sink, and then walked out of the house

• Forgot a piece of my son's bottle, and thus, could not feed him (several times) *Don't worry, I have either turned around and gotten it at home, or bought a new one while out and about*

• Put my daughter's dinner in the freezer, instead of the microwave

So, do YOU have any pregnancy moments to share?  Please tell me I'm not the only one!!! :)
