They say that during your first trimester of pregnancy you can become a little forgetful. They call it pregnancy brain, brain fog, and pregnancy forgetfulness. I don't remember having it when I was pregnant with Kroten, but I definitely have it this time. BAD! I feel like I have someone else's brain, it is not like me to be this ditsy. I forget appointments, I have forgotten and skipped meetings, I have done the stupidest things, but nothing as stupid as what I did today.
(I cannot believe I am going to tell this story.)
Today Kroten and I went to Old Navy to use a gift card I got for Christmas (thanks Jason and Melissa, I LOVE IT!) I was running late and supposed to go pick up Jared at 4, it was now 3:58. So I put Kroten in the car seat and got him situated with his drink and snack and started to drive away. I was on the road about to turn onto the freeway when I looked in my review mirror to check on my son and realized that...
HE WAS NOT BUCKLED IN!
OH MY GOODNESS.
(I cannot believe that I did that. I have never, ever done that before.)
So I threw my seat belt off, flipped around and buckled him in the best I could. The light turned green and I finished buckling him with one hand. I still cannot believe that I did that.
What else am I going to forget???

Last year I blogged about how I managed to buckle Evie in, but apparently forgot to buckle the car seat in. Didn't realize it until her seat slid onto the floor. Pregnancy brain gets the best of us sometimes.
at least you didn't forget kroten! can i just tell you that i am wishing we were neighbs on this blustery sunday afternoon? i need you to come rescue my sewing machine!! i think i broke it....and i was on such a roll.
I have always refused to believe in the pregnancy brain... but wow, it has hit me at times too and I get super embarrassed!!! Let's keep our heads on our shoulders!
we've all been there, truly!
I totally know what you mean about pregnancy brain. I've had it really bad this time. I tried explaining it to my mother-in-law and grandma-in-law. They both laughed at me and said that was basically the most ridiculous thing they'd ever heard, but I know it's real. Maybe I'll have to direct them to your blog. :)
It's true and it's real. I read it in one of my science books so it MUST be real.
Hey you're welcome! Thanks for the shout out on your cute blog! :)
P.S. What happens if you're normally a ditzy person to begin with?? That's gonna be me!
