I did not believe this existed.
I admit it. I was a complete cow to my sister when she said
she had baby brain.
“There is no such thing”
“I bet a man came up with that”
“Whatever”
A thousand apologies my beautiful sister.
IT DOES EXIST.
And I am sure it strikes the second your egg is fertilised.
I struggled so much at work during my pregnancy.
Then I had Sophie and it went up another level.
Now I am trying to adult and simultaneously be a
petrophysicist.
I can’t even keep the days straight haha.
Here is life with me and my baby brain.
I literally never know what day it is. Unless its Monday.
Even I know Mondays. Today I messaged someone and said Happy Wednesday.
Apparently its Thursday.
I repeat the same questions to Rob again and again –
“Do you remember the time we went to the Alamo?”
10 minutes later
“hey meow, do you remember when we went to the Alamo?”
5 minutes later
“Do you remember the Alamo?"
To get into my floor at work you need to swipe a security
badge (it has been that way since before I started which was 2009). Last week I
stood in front of the door waiting for it to open for 5 minutes before I
realised it was waiting on me.
I have forgotten to tag off with my bus card several times.
Then panicked. Then tried to run after the bus.
Needed panty liners. Went into Priceline. Spent $94.
Realised later I forgot to get liners. And bought the wrong shade of
foundation.
Realised the foundation was the wrong colour after wearing
it for a few days and wondering why my face looked different.
I literally never manage to shut the fridge door.
...although in fairness, that isn't a new thing.

Lost approximately seven cups of tea. I don’t know where
they went.
Started so many trains of thought and conversations and then
completely forgotten what I was…
Wait.What was I saying?
At the coffee store I often stand there waiting for change
when I haven’t paid them. Or when I don’t need change. Or just because I am
unaware of other human beings around me.
And, it appears that in true baby brain nature, I forgot to hit publish on this post. Isn;t that lovely?

ReplyDeleteHaha its like.. where did my brain go? I have the dumb.
DeleteFinally she believes me! Apology accepted :-)
ReplyDeleteHaha yeah. My bad :P
DeleteHilarious post! I really hoped it was a myth too.
ReplyDeleteThanks hun! Haha yeah, I wished it was. But conversations with me now prove otherwise!
DeleteHow adorable. We were gifted a very similar romper when my eldest was little, she is now 17. They grow up too quickly.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Yeah, she is just so sweet. I have been trying so hard to work on being present and grateful - especially when she is screaming or overtired!
