My husband keeps saying, "baby alex, leave some brain cells for mom!" 
Keep forgetting to turn off lights... Forgot my keys the other day... Work with kids, almost put glue stick on for chap stick (thank goodness I smelled it first before applying it haha), and was really hungry, reached for a hard boiled egg still in boiling water... Thank goodness I realized fast before i completely submerged my hand in the water haha.

Answer

Let's see, so far I've:
- put my phone in the fridge and left the milk on the counter
- realized after I tried putting the milk in the cabinet 
- searched for a remote for at least 15-20 minutes that was in my hand the entire time

Answer

Yup! It's totally a thing. I have forgotten everything at some point. I forgot appointments and plans I made in the morning and stopped mid sentence while teaching my son the other day and couldn't remember what subject we were on!

Answer

Just today I had a serious case of pregnancy brain. I took a nap and woke up craving a milkshake. I went to Nettys to get one, paid for it, and left my wallet on my seat of my car. Well i decided while I'm out to get groceries. I went shopping, scanned all my items at self checkout, went to pay and realized my wallet was in my car! So embarrasing. Someone was in line behind me so I had to  put all my groceries back in the cart, go out to my car to get my wallet and rescan everything. I have never done that before. Ugh!

Answer

All the time. Forgetting to plug in crock pot, for got to turn on oven, but put food in there, I have to pause in sentences to thinking the word I'm trying to say. I know there is more. It doesn't help that normally I have moments of forgetfulness so being pregnant puts it on a whole new level lol

Answer

Yes! I was supposed to start baked potatoes for dinner a few nights ago. When my hubby got home, he asked how long they'd been in so far. I said 30 minutes. Then he walked over to the counter and said, "you mean these potatoes?!" I preheated the oven and then left them on the counter top and walked away. Oops!!

Answer

For some reason I was offering a pacifier to my husband 😂. I was trying to put it in his mouth and ge goes like, why are you giving me that?

Answer

I have it really bad. It's actually messing with my self esteem.  I've always been reliant on my smarts, so being crazy forgetful makes me feel like I have nothing to offer. I feel like I can't do anything right anymore even though I am trying really hard. I'm trying to be patient with myself, but it's hard.

Answer

I've been doing that a lot but mostly just forgetting to turn on the oven you see I will turn on the knob to put on 400° but I actually forget to turn the other knob to turn it on i'll be waiting on the oven to heat up but it never heat up

Answer

Yes in the same boat. Forgot to turn on washer after loading it and filling up soaps. Taylor asked me to lay of the meats for dinner I forgot. Taylor wanted me to go outside and meet him at 3 and he showed up honking I wasn't even dressed. Tried to eat soup without cooking it. Forgot to set the timer on my cookies they burned. Let the dogs out on the porch and forgot that I had left them until I thought someone was breaking in... It was my puppy jumping on the door.

Answer

I've been mixing up my words like crazy & when speaking I have to pause & think of the word I was going to say next. I teach Sunday school & I totally forgot it was my co-teachers turn to teach. I came in with my outlines & ready to teach when it want even my turn. She was kind enough to let me teach that week. I really thought it was my turn to teach. Nothing else so far...
