I am losing my mind! I thought my baby brain was bad when I was pregnant, but nothing can compare to what I am experiencing now. I have always been the type of person who is on top of things. I am a planner and Haws calls me his walking calendar. But lately I can't even remember my last thought!
Just a few examples from the last week:
I was helping throw a shower and as I pulled up to the hostesses home, I realized I had everything except for the paper goods! I had to drive back home so people would have something to eat on. Luckily, I had actually gotten there early so it wasn't too much of a problem.
The next day, Halloween, we drove out to John and Brooke's for a little family party. Right when we got to the house I realized I had forgotten James' costume!!! What is it with the realizations right when I get to the destination? I started to cry... another hormonal symptom, and my wonderful husband drove all the way back home to get it for me.
I have made numerous phone calls only to realize that once I get the person on the phone, I have forgotten why I called.
I went to run some errands with James and forgot the stroller. Not having the use of both hands makes shopping a lot harder.
And this is just this past week! I am going to have to write little notes to myself everywhere in order to get things straight. So if I have forgotten your birthday or to call you back, please forgive me. I am not quite myself these days.

welcome to motherhood! i've heard it takes about 18 months for it to come back and by that time you are pregnant again. some say it never comes back!
haha, you are forgiven! you are doing a LOT right now!
I completely agree with Cinnamon! It's crazy how the mind works like that. Hang in there!
lol...I know the feeling!! You are not alone.. and you do suppossebly get it back ;) If it makes you feel beter a couple weeks ago, I hired a babysitter to go to one of my best friends birthday 'surprise' party got dressed, got my husband to commit, and then completely forgot that night only to remmeber 2 hours AFTER the party!! Same week I also forgot to call my sister on her birthday, my best friend on her birthday, and spaced a dr. appt. Not to mention a thankyou card Ive been carrying in my purse for four weeks to give to a certain person and seen them at least 6 times and have STILL not given it to them!! Your doing great!! the fact that your getting out of the house and trying is all that matters :)
It's the weirdest thing right? And so frustrating. About when T was James' age, I locked us out of the house 4 times in one week. We had to wait outside until our landlord got home. One day it was about 3-4 hours! She seemed a little annoyed after the 4th time. I felt so dumb!
You are doing great Lori! It does it better, I promise.
