I Hope this baby is smart

Cause its making me STUPID!

I get up and have NO idea why I got up from the chair or what I wanted to do? ( God forbid if I go to the store without a list, I will walk around aimlessly for hours!!)

DH Sneezes and I say random things like Thank you or I love you instead of Bless you??

It took me 15 minutes to pick out crackers in the store yesterday cause I
changed my mind at least 44 times? Picking out a tomato...ONE tomato took just as long...

My mom asked me to hold her car keys in the store yesterday, well guess where I left them? In the STORE.

I could go on for hours...but you get the point.

PLEASE tell me Im not the only one who has been rendered stupid since getting PG?

Donna! I was like this while I was pregnant!!

And let me just tell you - it isn't much better after I had Ali

Re: I Hope this baby is smart

Donna you are so not alone. I would be in the middle of teaching and I would forget what class level I was in and what I was saying Mid sentence. The kids were like Now imagine being like that and trying to process 2 languages. A couple of times driving home, drove right past my exit and was heading to my Mom's without even realizing it. It was bad. But if it makes you feel any better D is very smart

Re: I Hope this baby is smart

Re: I Hope this baby is smart

I am totally feeling you right now!! I tell everyone the same thing that my little bundle of joy is making mommy VERY stupid!

Re: I Hope this baby is smart

I had quite a few stupid moments. I totally screwed up a grad school homework assignment TWICE and of course it was in the class with the azz professor who had the nerve to tell me he didn't know how I could have misunderstood the assignment since English is my first language.

Someone told me that we actually lose 5% of our brainpower during pregnancy.

Re: I Hope this baby is smart

Oh yes!!

I can't remember people's names anymore and I insisted that DH and I took our "honeymoon" in October, when it was our anniversary.

We played board games last night and I kept forgetting rules.

And I was telling someone how I "wan" at trivial pursuit last year. Ummm...the word is won.

ETA: Oh, and I finally decided to shave my legs the other day for the first time in a while AND I SHAVED THE SAME LEG TWICE!!!!

One hairy, one smooth...extra smooth!!

Re: I Hope this baby is smart

You're not alone! I can walk from my living room to the kitchen and completely forget what I went in there for in the 10 seconds it took me to walk there. If DH asks me to pick something up from the store, I ask him to write it down because it's a guarantee I won't remember.

Re: I Hope this baby is smart

I can totally relate, I've lost my wallet twice in the last week; went to my car without my car keys; picked up my phone & forgot who I was going to call & I can go on & on....

Re: I Hope this baby is smart

I say the exact same words at least once a week!! I actually feel like my pregnancy brain has gotten a little better in the 3rd trimester though!

Re: I Hope this baby is smart

DH keeps laughing at me, because I keep trying to put things like Pens and Tape in the refrigarator when I am done using them.
