Which is my right!
- Yesterday I was taking my blood pressure as I do every week and the cuff had markersfor right and left arm... For the life of me I couldn't figure out which one was which- they both looked the same to me... I was shocked how much pregnancy does affect your cognitive processes and I am only 9 weeks ... I may end up with dementia by the end of my pregnancy.

totally forgot
- My friend and I went to go get lunch one afternoon and when we were finished we left. When I got home I realized I left my purse at the restaurant. Luckily I got it back.

Burned Egg
- I was feeling nauseated and thought I could eat a boiled egg. I put it on to boil, went outside for some fresh air, and forgot all about it. Burned boiled egg smells incredibly bad, and my husband had a new punchline. (We were newlyweds at the time.) "She can't even boil an egg without burning it!"

Phone Calls Were an Issue
- I had a problem with phone calls when I was pregnant. I dial the phone and by the time the other person answered - I forgot not only who I was calling, but why. It happened so much I had to just start explaining myself. Eventually someone said, "Robin, is that you again?" Can you say embarrassed?

Watery Brownies
- I'm 3 for 3 at ruining brownies while pregnant. For some reason, I add too much liquid EVERY time I make a batch while expecting and it turns out to be a nasty brownies slosh in the oven. I blame Pregnancy Brain.
