We first began to notice the slip in my mental capacity to remember things when I heard this from my husband, "So are we letting it mellow around here?" Referring to the fact that I had once again forgotten to flush the toilet. Oops! My response, "I've heard that when your pregnant you start to forget things." Which resulted in a friendly argument, err...I mean, discussion about whether that was true or I was just blaming something else on the pregnancy. Well as the weeks have progressed so has my forgetfulness and fortunately my back-up to prove that pregnancy brain is real. Just a few instances that have occurred.
1. While telling Brendan a story, I forgot the name of the person in my story. Halfway through
he says: "Oh, so and so (actually said her name) said that?"
me: "Oh yeah, that's her name..."
him: "Sara, you said her name when you were telling me the story."
me: "Are you sure, I don't think I did."
him: "YES! You said her name."
me: "I'm losing it."
2. Drive all the way to my weekly women's bible study, only to find an empty parking lot and remember they had canceled for that week.
3. Put my lunch in the oven to heat up and set the timer. Timer goes off, I check my food to discover that I had not turned the oven on.
4. I was filling up the sink and ran outside to tell Brendan something. Forgot that I was filling up the sink and almost overflowed the sink.
I'm pretty sure I could go on (and so could my husband). But after talking to several other moms and dads. We have found that I am not the only one to suffer from momnesia. It took a lot of convincing, but I think he will finally admit that its the pregnancy that has induced my forgetfulness.
Any of you mom's have any good stories about your pregnancy brain?
