Baby brain, another embarrassing one!

[Redhead]

I wrote a note to DH this morning to please put the spreadsheet in the washing machine. He was on the phone when he read it and gave me the weirdest look. I meant bedspread!

I keep getting blank when thinking of words, usually people's names. I'm scared I've got dementia or something. I really hope it's just baby.

Oh that's a good one! Yay, not just me.
I guess time will tell if it's baby or "just us"...

lol, and it gets worse with each pregnancy. i'm a real space cadet at the moment and will often sit there and give people this blank look cos ''i know they spoke, they said something to me but I just don't know what they were saying or what it was about... hhhmmm maybe i'll just smile and nod and see if i can get away with it!! why IS she looking at me strangely." lol.

I have taken to warning people "i'm a half wit, please excuse me" lately.

i forget names of inanimate objects and fruit/veges. DH reckons he 'speaks wifey' fluently now!

OMG I love reading these ladies. you have made my day! xxx

Awesome mamapan,
Glad our total "duh-ness" can bring happiness into others lives!
Stay tuned, I know I have more tales, and as far as the others are concerned, if we've done it once, we'll do it again!

Grub17, I think my DH needs to learn to "speak wifey"...

thought it was just me lol

my real preggy brain moment is reading words and thinking WTF
to me it looks like swear words or drugs
i reread and its nothing like that lol

but ive given up on spelling too

Okay, firstly I swear this is not made up to add another post here!
This really just happened!!
I just went to the kitchen at work where we have a filter tap that dispenses both boiling and drinking water.
I went thru the whole process of making my arvo milo, including adding milk with cold water!
I didn't even think it was strange that the milo hadn't melted!
Took a sip (yuck!) and then realised my error!

So, there is todays "C is for Dog" mistake!
Can I get thru the rest of the day unscathed??

its not just the pregnancy brain as I am not pregnant but I swear I never got mine back after I had my babies.

I am going to a meditation class with a couple of girlfriends tonight and was talking to DH this morning when I said "hey dont forget im off to my masturbation class tonight!"
I didnt even realise what I had said until DH looked at me and said "what?? they have a class for that?"

So dont be expecting your brains back ladies cause I am still waiting for mine!

That's has gotta be one of the best!
But, you have me worried about getting my normally well functioning brain back!

Ah, I'm lucky i wasnt drinking, it would have gone all over my computer screen! LOL

And I do agree with you, my youngest is almost 2 and i'm still a major space caddet!

lol hungry hippo, i'm afraid my brain didn't return post DS but it only had 10 months to recover before i was preg again lol.

I did a doozy yesterday. getting DS's evening milk... open cupboard, take top off cup and put on bench. close cupboard, pour milk onto cupboard where I should have put the cup (which i left in the cupboard). Lucky I realised asap and it wasn't a huge mess! ddderrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

someone once explained it to me as your brain is busy doing so many other things ie caring for other children; growing a baby etc that the superfluous stuff is put aside for more important stuff iykwim. So while we appear dumb, our brain is actually working really hard doing all sorts of stuff and meeting demands it doesn't usually. Not sure how true that is, but it sounds good!!! lol.
