I've always thought that the so-called "baby brain" does not exist. It's a myth. How can being pregnant and having a baby make you more forgetful? However, my actions over the course of today and the past few days have me reconsidering. Here's what's happened:
1. When making poached eggs this morning I cracked an egg into the garbage and put the shells in the pan.
2. I made a grocery list for one item (dish soap).
3. I haven't been able to find my keys for 3 days (this is, apparently, CLASSIC baby brain).
4. When doing laundry yesterday I put some dirty clothes in the garbage instead of in the washing machine (sidebar- why do I keep putting everything in the garbage?).
5. I just changed Freddie's diaper twice in ten minutes because I forgot I'd just done it.
HELP! What's the verdict? Baby brain or am I just losing it?
This blog chronicles my life as a new mom to "wee" Freddie (and now "wee" Elsie, too!). I am an American with an Irish partner and we recently moved from Edinburgh, Scotland to Seattle, USA. We are sad to see Freddie's Scottish accent going but love living in the beauty of the Pacific Northwest. We look forward to welcoming a new arrival this April!
Char, No.1 is in-excusable!! How can you even try to explain that one. Ha
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment William! Maybe next time you should make my poached eggs for me so we can avoid this happening again! :)

Deleteahahahahaha - apparently babies make you lose it!! I blame it on lack of sleep =(
ReplyDeleteI agree. Maybe our intelligence will slowly return once we start getting more sleep!
