Me: Well, there was this guy pulling one of those...um...those things.
Matt: What?
Me: Um. It's flat and it has wheels? You have one...you pull it behind your car to carry big stuff?
Matt: A trailer?
Me:
Oh, the joys of pregnancy. Not only is my body no longer my own, but my brain seems to have skipped out on the whole shebang altogether.
Tell me I am not alone? Did you ever experience 'pregnancy brain'?
I'm afraid to say that I live with pregnancy brain even when not preg. Brandon just reminded me about the time I asked if a horse/donkey mix was a honkey?
ReplyDelete....and I wasn't kidding....
sigh
I still suffer from it. I can't think of my words for ANYTHING. I say it goes from pregnancy brain, to breastfeeding brain, and then after breastfeeding, well...I think they suck your brain out along with the milk.
ReplyDeleteOh YES. I can remember a couple of really embarrassing instances of being in court trying to speak to a judge, and not being able to remember certain key words for the LIFE of me!
ReplyDeleteOh I do this ALL the time! It's like you can picture it and can describe it but can't think of the damn name! I hear it gets worse with each pregnancy... and that we'll never fully recover. Lord help us :)
ReplyDeleteI STILL have it. I mean, now that J is 18 months old, I probably need to stop blaming my memory issues on that, but you can't make me! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI have it bad this time. Last week, I got out of the shower without having washed my body. I just washed my hair and assumed I was done. Thanks to the pregnancy super sense of smell, I realized my mistake as I was toweling off...
ReplyDeleteMy sister had pregnancy brain all the time! She called often to find the word she couldn't remember....made me laugh every time!
ReplyDeleteall.the.time. Although I don't feel like it got better it just morphed into "mommy mush brain".
ReplyDeleteToday I was late for a meeting because I had convinced myself it started at 11:30 when it started at 11. Thankfully I could blame it on pregnancy brain! :)
Know all about it!! The other day I asked Danny if he could get something out of the truck for me & he just looked at me like I'd lost my mind - I was holding the requested item in my hand & didn't even realize it!!! :)
ReplyDeleteLast Friday at work I spoke excitedly about going on a date night with my husband the following weekend. On Monday everyone asked me about it and I couldn't for the LIFE of me remember what we had done or where we had gone! Somebody asked me on Tuesday if I had remembered yet, and I still hadn't! ;)
ReplyDeleteLove it! I went to work when pregnant with Isaac with a pair of underwear stuffed down my jeans leg. That was one of my worst.
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm in the same boat as you. I'm a little less than 11 weeks along with a due date of 10/10/11 and it's our second. Besides the incessant, mind-numbing and paralyzing nausea - my mind is useless. I can't put coherent sentences together, I forget more than I remember and I am always on the verge of falling asleep. I know I lost a lot of my brain when I was pregnant with our first, but I don't know how much I got back and have to lose with this one... :)
ReplyDeleteYep! I surely do!
ReplyDeleteDon't worry it eventually goes away, but I'm afraid to say it comes back every once in a while. I'm 45, and am going thru it again, hopefully it not early onset dementia, maybe just, OMG - menopause! HA
ReplyDeletehope you are feeling better these days!
ReplyDeleteHey Bekka! Are you doing okay? I was just thinking of you and hoping that you're feeling better!
