Pregnancy makes you stupid. Well, maybe not stupid, but it messes with your mind.
Here’s a perfect example. I mixed up Halloween and Take Your Child to Work Day.
Other examples include…
- Folding clothes that hadn’t been washed yet.
- Forgetting to turn on the crockpot.
- Wearing flip flops to the gym.
Someone may want to give me a call the day before Thanksgiving to remind me about Turkey Day.
What else should I expect to forget?
Favorite Comment From Last Post: “My dad always claimed our Milk Duds. “All Milk Duds go to The House,” he’d say. I remember back when they first brought out those mini “Fun Sized” bars (because I’m old). Even then, I hated the names and wanted everyone in their Marketing Dept fired. To me, a “Fun Sized” bar would be about a foot long and as big around as a Subway Sandwich.”—BluzDude

If that ends up being your baby, Keifer is gonna have some explaining to do.

Ha!

I’ll have to do a bite-mark inspection.
November 6th, 2013 at 9:05 am
You look radiant.
November 6th, 2013 at 9:12 am
Let’s see here… I started and loaded the washing machine but didn’t close it so it just sat there full of water until I realized, I put the milk away in the cabinet with the dishes, I tried to straighten my hair with a hair straightener that wasn’t even plugged in (let alone turned on). Just crazy things lol it’s okay though, the only excuse you need is “I’m pregnant”. =]
November 7th, 2013 at 2:31 pm
I can totally see me doing the milk in the cabinets thing.
November 8th, 2013 at 9:31 am
LOL! Luckily I realized pretty quickly and I didn’t totally waste a gallon of milk. =]
November 6th, 2013 at 9:14 am
Ummm… I tried to make a cup of tea without boiling the kettle first the other day. I dread to think what pregnancy would do to me…

Once I was out of my first trimester I started to ease back into my coffee addiction…I can’t tell you how many times I pulled up to the Dunkin Donut window, paid for my coffee and then just drove off without the coffee. It became “a thing” and the girls made sure to give me my coffee and then let me pay.
November 12th, 2013 at 8:28 am
I can relate. I almost left my hot chocolate in the Keurig this morning.
November 6th, 2013 at 9:34 am
Oh yes, I well remember dealing with my wife’s “pregnancy brain.”
November 6th, 2013 at 10:02 am
(I knew you would love the idea of the candy bar the size of a Subway sandwich.)
Also, Hippie is right.
November 7th, 2013 at 2:33 pm
You two have to say that because you know I’m pregnant. Everyone else is like, “Is she pregnant or just putting on weight?”
November 6th, 2013 at 10:30 am
That you put your blow drier away in the refrigerator because that’s where it belongs when you’re pregnant.
November 12th, 2013 at 11:35 am
That’s where I keep mine now.
November 6th, 2013 at 10:33 am
Sorry about the poor quality, but I just saw this episode the other day: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6B2DTmOJGo
November 7th, 2013 at 2:36 pm
Whoa…and getting to and from the bathroom is pretty much the most important part of being pregnant.
November 6th, 2013 at 12:14 pm
Hello!
I’ve nominated you for a sunshine award! (woo)
Check out my last post to read all about it.

Keep up the great blogging!
November 6th, 2013 at 1:07 pm
It’s okay, cuz you look great. Contrary to what you said in a recent post, you are definitely NOT fat!
November 6th, 2013 at 1:08 pm
A radio moderator of my local radio is pregnant too – and the radio published on this occasion that pregnant women indeed loose some intelligence during pregnancy (and up to three months after giving birth) – but good news: It is only temporarily.
November 7th, 2013 at 2:36 pm
It’s gotta be the sleep-deprivation.
November 6th, 2013 at 1:16 pm
Those preggers hormones make you goofy. Usually, it ends after birth. Mine has lasted 45 years so far.
November 12th, 2013 at 8:29 am
So I’m hearing that maybe it only lasts 46 years.
November 6th, 2013 at 2:33 pm
Glowing! And I don’t mean your zombie baby. 🙂
November 6th, 2013 at 3:24 pm
I’ve done all of these things..if I weren’t single I would worry I may be pregnant. Forgetting to turn on the machine that’s making your meal is like sticking your hand in the garbage disposal while it’s on.
November 6th, 2013 at 4:39 pm
I think pregnancy brain kicked in for me in the third trimester and has unfortunately stuck around. My baby is 3 months today! I still feel kind of foggy and confused a lot of the time. Hope it’s not permanent! HA HA.
November 6th, 2013 at 5:46 pm
Mmm, your baby is so… unique 😉
Cheers

I’m repulsed by the photo but I cannot look away. Very disturbing.
November 6th, 2013 at 7:05 pm
The zom-baby part. I too agree with Hippie.
November 6th, 2013 at 7:14 pm
Where do you even find something like that? I’m both fascinated and afraid at the same time.
I know nothing about pregnancy brain, but I’m probably going to need someone responsible for keeping me and the baby alive because I’ll be out of my ever loving mind considering how forgetful I am without birthing non-zombie spawn.
November 7th, 2013 at 2:39 pm
Know what’s awesome? It’s a bookbaggy purse thing. Totally functional!
November 7th, 2013 at 5:56 pm
What?!? That makes me a little less afraid. Something that practical can’t be all bad.
November 6th, 2013 at 8:36 pm
On the plus side, at least you didn’t put your zombie baby in the crock pot with the flip-flops as you folded dirty clothes. That just would have been silly.
November 7th, 2013 at 2:39 pm
You’re right. It could have been worse.
November 6th, 2013 at 8:43 pm
I forget to turn appliances on all the time. Maybe I was born pregnant.
November 7th, 2013 at 7:08 am
– dirty is not an excuse to mistreat clothes. folding them is good
– food was in the crock and it was plugged in. two out of three ain’t bad, ask meatloaf
– of course you wore flip flops to the gym. they weren’t going to take themselves.
November 12th, 2013 at 8:30 am
Flip flops need exercise, too.
November 7th, 2013 at 7:27 am
I literally just wrote a post about this yesterday. I put dish soap in the coffee maker. You are not alone…and it never gets better. Even once they are out, part of your mind will be an Alice in Wonderland rabbit hole forever.
November 8th, 2013 at 3:54 pm
I read *somewhere* that within three months of giving birth, moms have more brain cells than before.
Sounds like it’s a trade-off.
November 8th, 2013 at 6:25 pm
Don’t forget Take Your Turkey To Work day.
November 12th, 2013 at 11:35 am
You look amazing, mama!
December 5th, 2013 at 4:05 pm
Fair warning: after having the baby, I left the gas stove top on three times in a row. So, for me, anyway, I’m still quite dumb.
December 6th, 2013 at 9:19 am
I occasionally did that before I was pregnant, so I think I’m screwed.
