My brain doesn’t work

My mum jokes that you can't use your womb and your brain at the same time.  Unfortunately it appears to be too true.

• I had a hospital appt a couple of weeks ago and was nearly at the hospital when I read my appointment letter and realised I was on my way to the wrong hospital.
• The next day I had to run some errands so I grabbed my cell phone, wallet and daughter and left.  The door locked behind me and it wasn't until I got to the car I realised my keys were still inside.
• Yesterday I printed a letter on letterhead but the paper had been loaded worng (not by me) and so the print was upsidedown.  I reloaded the paper correctly and reprinted and one of my colleagues handed the print to me, but they handed it to me upsidedown so I started ranting that it had printed wrong again - except I was just looking at it the wrong way up.
• I was at my midwife this afternoon for a routine appointment and she was going through my scan results.  She said the baby's head measurement was 17cms and I started freaking out.  It took her several minutes to figure out I was thinking 17cms across rather than 17cms circumference.

Please list your preggy brain moments so I don't feel quite so stupid.

bahaha Jo You make me giggle

I had a few silly small preggy-brain moments, like looking for my glasses and getting pissy when I couldn't find them (they were on my head).
Or putting things in the freezer that should've gone in the pantry (or vice versa!! Ice cream in the pantry...not good!!).

My biggest oopsie was turning up to work, not once, but THREE times!!) on days off

I think you mean circumference not diameter? Was that your preggy brain again?

I have been having some wacky ones recently. Last night DH and I went to do the grocery shopping by ourselves (it was kinda fun!). I had the list and he had the trolley. He kept asking me where to go next, etc, and I would just read the list over and over and really couldn't connect how to figure out what next! And that was at 8.30pm lol

Today I prepared some documents to be filed in Court (a daily occurrence for me). I had them all ready to go in the next office, then remembered something that needed to be relayed to Court staff with them. Only I forgot that I hadn't actually delivered them to Court yet - so I rang the Court to see who was taking on that file but of course they didn't have anything about it yet! *rolls eyes at self* A least I brightened up someone's day!!

.

Where do I start?
Can't remember conversations I've had with people, and end up having them over and over again.
Can't remember phone numbers. Include own phone number. Particularly embarassing at Vodafone store when had complete blank and had to ring a diff phone to see what came up on caller id. I have to add that I've had the same number for years!
And then there is all that general emotional/hormonal/overtired stuff... most recent was when waiting in line to use a public toilet, a woman with small boy came up and asked if he could go first. I have been holding on for so long by then that I could barely walk, so snapped at her.."I am 7 months pregnant and dying to pee!". Oops. Luckily she was very understanding!!!

Bahahahahahaha

hahahahahahaha!! I would do the exact same thing!!!

I have a few dumb moments at work, reason why I keep flicking through these forums, I just can't concentrate anymore

Today I was going into work and was looking for my swipe card I looked every where all my pockets, pulled everything out of my handbag, turns out I had clipped it onto my belt oopps, I dont know if I can blame baby brain yet but I'm sure gonna try

tee hee hee ... I've done the standard ringing to talk to one friend and wondering why another answered (of course I'd rung the wrong number!). But DH had a good one the other day (and he's blaming pregnancy) ... we were on our way out in the car, he was last out of the house and just as we were pulling into the street had a sudden thought of "I've closed the screen door but not actually the front door" ... silly man!

We've just moved, so I rang the power company to give them the reading and disconnect the line. It took the call center worker 15 min trying to find me on the system before I realised I rang the wrong company.

A few day's earlier I wrote a letter for my landlord to sign to confirm the least ending early, and I wrote the lease "commences" instead of "terminates" and didn't realise till he pointed it out to me rather confused
