Pregnancy Brain Stories

Have had two "pregnancy brain" moments in two days -- a bit worrisome. Sunday I was grocery shopping and lost my cart. I'd parked it when I realized I had to go back for frozen broccoli and then couldn't find it again. Finally did, but felt like such a dummy. Thought I was going to have to call my husband (waiting out in the car) on his cell phone and ask him to come in and help me find it.

Then yesterday I was driving home from work and followed a sander/plow for a while, then finally passed it. Once I got around the vehicle I thought my headlights weren't working. By holding the steering column gizmo toward me, I got the brights to stay on. I figured it was some weird electrical malfunction. When I got to a well-lit gas station, I pulled in to check things out. The car was fine -- when I'd turned my lights on back in the parking lot at work, I'd only put on my fog lights. Duh! And it wasn't quite dark yet when I was leaving, which is why I hadn't realized it sooner. Man.
