I think after my first I was the worst though...half way through a conversation and my brain would just drop out. Not a question of me not concentrating but me completely forgetting what I was talking about mid sentence. How does that happen?? I'm mid sentence?!

I got a phone call shortly afterwards to say that dozens of cards and bits of paper were flying all over the road. This week, my husband caught me absent-mindedly putting a tub of cheese alongside the wine glasses in the cupboard. If nothing else, it's great laughing fodder!!!Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09205721394366642669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6004458534993714527.post-62117344855591644752013-07-22T22:32:41.503+10:002013-07-22T22:32:41.503+10:00Hilarious Mel!

I put my kids in the car once and drove away, only to realise 8 hours later when we went out again and I needed the pram that I must have forgot to load it in the car earlier, it's the last time I recall seeing it. Arrrh. I lodged and insurance claim, it was was quite embarrassing telling them what happened.

And I last gave birth four years ago so I can't really blame baby brain anymore. I am frequently doing things like putting the car keys in the cutlery drawer. I can never, EVER, remember where I put down the lens cap from the camera and it's always in the back pocket of my jeans.

My worst (so far anyway) was getting my son all swaddled up in a million pieces of weather-appropriate gear ready to do a mums-and-babies outdoor buggy fit class, and then being turned away by the trainer because I was still wearing my slippers... Embarrassing is not the word. Now my concern is that 3ys on I'm struggling to attribute it to baby brain - help!Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10464963703944512204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6004458534993714527.post-31174559943474250572013-07-20T22:59:01.073+10:002013-07-20T22:59:01.073+10:00Very funny Mel.

Those "experts" don't know what they're talking about, baby brain exists and in fact continues on well after babyhood, it should just be called "parent brain".
