silly things you've done while pregnant

[cjane]

Anyone been doing some really dippy things while pregnant? I really hope its not just me!!!

I went to the fruit and veg store the other day. I started by getting some apples, popping them in a plastic bag, then into my basket, then some pears, etc.

But something must have then short circuited in my brain since I then grabbed a new plastic bag and just decided to keep filling it up with an assortment of different things such as onions, ginger, green beans and mandarins - all in the same bag. Obviously I had no idea I was doing it. At one stage the guy behind the counter gave me a weird look and said - do you need some help? I thought he sounded a bit patronising so I gave him an odd look back and said "no! Just getting some fruit and veg, thanks!". And Im thinking to myself - how ridiculous, why would I need help? Its not hard choosing fruit and veggies!!

So then I walk over to the checkout the guy started weighing things and then he got to my "assorted" bag and said "ok so what do we have here?". I must have been in a total daze!! it was so embarrassing!!! All I could do was laugh - especially since he'd obviously watched me doing it - and tried to help me until I snapped back at him!!

After it was all done, he said very nicely to me "by the way, we do have free home delivery so if things start to get a bit tough for you, then just give me a call".

hahaha thats classic.

A couple weeks ago I went and brought some tracky pants from Kmart. They were only $12.. bargin! anyhoo.. got to the check out and in one of them pregnancy dazes and hand the lady my stuff. She says "thats $19". I lost it at her, telling her that the pants were only $12 and I pulled them out of the bag to show her. Yep $12 on the tag. She looks at me strangly and says "Yeah the cokes are $3.50 each"... *hides* I had completley forgotten I had brought them *face palm*... embarrasing. Needless to say I apologised and ran to the exit lol

I've backed into our garage door in our new car. Plus I've scraped the front bumper bar in a car park. My perception and driving skills completely go when pregnant!

these are just so funny!!!

aussienic - what are the fat eyebrows?

As for crying episodes, Ive had plenty. My most embarrassing ones are crying at really silly stuff on TV. Im usually a crier when it comes to anything sad, but I seem to have taken it to a whole new level!

The most embarrassing one was watching a re-run of Full House on one of the digital channels where they find a stray dog that gives birth to puppies on one of their beds. As soon as the dog started licking the puppies I started balling. DH couldn't stop laughing at me. The other one was watching Cyndi Lauper being interviewed on the '7pm Project'. I started thinking about how much I loved her as a kid in the 80's, then she mentioned she still went to Japan to perform during the earthquakes to offer support to the people - for some reason it also set me off! Again - DH found it hilarious. When he asked me why I was crying I said, sobbing "because....she cares....about the earthquake victims!" At least Im entertaining him!!

Ha ha I love these threads

With Moo I made a banana cake, went to make icing for it but didn't have any icing sugar. Well...I sobbed for hours! DH was trying to make me feel better but everytime he said 'icing sugar' I'd start bawling harder it was weeks before I could talk about it without crying! Same pregnancy I wanted a peanut butter sandwich so jumped in the car to go buy some. My car has a reversing camera as well as beepers but I still managed to smack into a car parked opposite my driveway I didn't even realise until I wasn't going backwards anymore.

This time around I just can't keep track of my thoughts, stop mid sentence because I've lost my words, pronounce things weird, cracked the poos at the carrots for being too loud (when I was chopping them)

I used to put things in the most obscure places. I remember once I put my grater in the laundry cupboard. Couldn't find it for weeks

Yeah, I put the box of weetbix in the laundry. Had a massive meltdown because I couldn't find them.

Haha! This is hilarious!

A few months ago I sent DH to work with a container of bolognaise sauce for lunch! I forgot to put the pasta in! He called me at lunch time and said 'um, this is interesting...'

Haha. Oops

When I was pregnant with DS I had major Green Cordial cravings for a while, went to make myself a glass once, thought it looked a bit funny, was just about to take a sip when it clicked, I'd made my glass of cordial with milk instead of water...

[Heaven]

these are hilarious. The one I always remember is I was talking to DH and pointing to the spare blocks of land across the street showing him something and said 'see over there where those houses aren't' pmsl

[MissM]

Love all these! I dont feel so bad!

Ive had a few 'moments' but this one is the funniest (that i can remember)

I went to fill my car with petrol one night (I like to do it myself) and DH was standing next to me talking while I was filling it up well I normally let the bowser click over a few times cos of air and bubbles, but this time i just kept clicking and clicking until I looked down and was standing in a puddle of petrol. It was all in my shoe, petrol had soaked up my leg (was wearing long pants) and needless to say - I got the sh*ts with DH and it was his fault for talking to me ...

Woops ...

[Minque]

Hee-Hee I love these!!

Mine aren't funny but I have a tendency to put things on the stove or in the microwave and walk away and forget about them. I have had to chuck a few burnt-to-a-crisp saucepans out before DH has gotten home to not have to tell him He has found food that I had heated up earlier in the day still sitting in the microwave though.

I've noticed that my vocabulary and grammar has completely taken a turn for the worse too!

Hahah omg classic! After christmas lunch and i asked dp to cut up some ham and make me a ham and cheese sandwhich only in triangles i said. He said no, i went crazy in front of everyone balling my eyes out asking him why would he be so mean to me. Turns out its cause he already cut me half a ham leg up and all i had to do was cut my sandwhich into triangles lol! Everything had to be in triangles, even my apples, godknows how i done that haha! Love the one with the 'where the houses arent' haha psml

Oh my god.. I just about wet my pants reading that! Bahahahahaha!

I find myself having conversations with inanimate objects - I got in a huge fight with the stove the other night but IT STARTED IT!!! It totally wouldn't turn on just to spite me, it had absolutely nothing to do with the fact I hadn't flicked the kill switch so power was getting to it...

What gets really embarrassing is when I do it in public, like when I started having a casual chat to the trolley at Coles last week. There was this little girl in the baking aisle just staring at the crazy lady talking to her groceries I don't know why I felt the need to ask DH's razor blades why they have to be so expensive, but it was very rude of them not to reply!

I've also had a few Lady Macbeth moments when cleaning, talking to a particular spot on the carpet or bench and asking it why it wont go away, or ordering it to get 'out damn spot.'

[Samcougar]

These are so funny!!
I kept putting things in places they shouldn't be but my best was putting a bottle of juice back in the fridge on it's side........without the lid on!!! I shut the door and walked away, DH came home and found juice all through the fridge and on the floor.

Tonight planning on having sweet potato for tea, put oven on, waited 50 mins, switched off, ten minutes later went to get them out - had never put them in oven they were still sat in cupboard. Oh well warmed flat up a bit, scrambled eggs for tea now.
