Pregnancy Brain

I really didn't think it would happen to me...but today it did. TWICE.

You read in the pregnancy books about something called pregnancy brain but I really thought I was much too intelligent for this to ever happen to me. I seem to be doing fine so far in the work world, but today I experienced what must be PB (as I will call it) twice in a short period of time.

1. I left the house to do a Costco run, and had gotten about 5 minutes from home when I thought "I don't remember closing the garage". I really tried to think hard as to whether I had reached up and pushed that button, and I just couldn't picture myself doing it. Because of the fear of PB, I made myself go all the way home to check. Normally I would never doubt that I did something so automatic, but I did doubt it this time (and if the garage was open, there is so much of value in there right now and the door into the house was unlocked...I wasn't taking any chances). I turned around and made it all the way home, only to luckily find out that I had in fact closed the garage door.

2. I am sitting on the couch, drinking a delicious Smart Water, browsing the internet, as I allow my left hand (holding the gigantic bottle of water), to slip forward (I guess assuming the lid was on it?) Needless to say, it was not, and I didn't even realize it right away, so my couch, pillow, rug and dress are currently covered in a puddle of wasted Smart Water. And I am thirsty.
