Pregnancy Brain

I always heard about pregnancy brain, but never believed it.  Now that I am pregnant I understand what it is, as I have had it for quite a while.  I forget EVERYTHING and say random stuff ALL THE TIME.  I used to get really frustrated with this, especially when it happened at work, but then I just started to accept that this is how it's going to be.  At work I tend to apologize for not remembering the exact conversation from two months ago, or even two days ago.  I found that everyone seemed to be pretty understanding with me.  At home, Andy just laughs at me because he doesn't understand.  That's ok because before I was pregnant I didn't understand either. 

Well, this past weekend took the cake when it came to pregnancy brain.  I was out shoe shopping and paying for my purchase at the register when the 20 year old cashier girl complimented me on my fedora hat I was wearing and asked me where I got it.  My response: "Fascinations."  For non-Arizona readers that is a porn shop here in Arizona.  The girl looked at me funny and it took me a couple seconds before I realized what blurted out of my mouth.  Where did that come from?  Why would I say Fascinations?  A porn shop...really?  I had no idea where this came from.  Once I realized what I said I immediately apologized and explained that I have no idea where that came from and I obviously did not buy the fedora hat at a porn shop.  The 20 year old cashier laughed and said "I thought that was an odd response and assumed you can't buy such a cute hat at a store like that."  I then blamed it on pregnancy brain, but because she is so young she probably didn't understand where I was coming from.  Then I couldn't think of the name of the actual store I purchased it at.  I shop at this store all the time when I am not pregnant.  I started to describe the store and tell her it's located in Kierland shopping center.  I think the young girl got a good laugh out of me on that day.  It would have to be my most embarrassing pregnancy brain story to date.  If I have more embarrassing pregnant brain stories I promise to share.
