D'oh! moments

[ThePregosaurus]

i don't know if it's my new mommy brain but I totally had a moment today where all I could think of was Homer Simpson's "D'oh!" I mixed up the dates of a baby shower and birthday party that I'm attending. I showed up for the birthday party this afternoon and there was no one else there yet. I walked up and my friend answered the door looking all confused. Then she realized what I did and says, "Oh! Do you think the party is today? It's next Sunday!" D'oh! I'll never hear the end of this one.

Tell me I'm not alone! What kind of mishaps or embarrassing moments have got you all face palming?

I never know what day it is. Last week I just completely forgot to go to a good friends baby shower and still didn't realize until another friend asked me that evening if things were ok.

I also have dificulty remembering what day it is. LO has a drs. appointment tomorrow and I'm terrified I'll forget. I set an alarm on my phone to remind me.

I just can't remember anything...

Last week in the middle of the night, LO was crying and I was shushing, cradling my arm and patting my chest...and LO was still in his bassinet. DH woke up to get LO, saw me and told me he was crying from laughing so hard.

I was comforting my cat last night who was snuggled in bed with us while my baby was in his crib crying away...

The nurse who did our home visit when he was three days old said that when our placenta comes out a little piece of our brains comes with it...

The embarrassment is still burning from this one-
I tend to be a know-it-all with DH and the rest of my family, but I also tend to always have my facts right. But yesterday I told DH about a conversation with my MIL, "You're not gonna believe this, but your mother doesn't think there's such thing as a jackalope! She really tried to convince me they're not real!" To which DH started cracking up and calling me a dumbass. And I have a feeling I will never live it down....

I had a panic moment when I thought I forgot to feed my dogs. My husband looked at me like I was crazy, because apparently I had just fed them a few hours before.

I did this but with letting the dog back inside - I seriously thought I'd left him in the backyard in the cold. I didn't, thank goodness!

When LO was only a few weeks old I did that but was cradling and patting my boobs. I then shook them a little because I couldn't feel them breathing...

This happens to me more than I'd care to admit! One of our cats likes to sleep on my chest, so sometimes when LO wakes up I'm rocking the cat for a bit before I realize it's not Miles....

I've definitely thought the cat sleeping on my feet was the baby on multiple occasions.

I also get confused when the baby wakes me up. I wonder why he is in his rnp - did just fall asleep and forget to feed him? Never mind it's just him waking me up.

Lol. I love all the stories about people cuddling their cats. One of the first nights I had the baby home, one of my cats was sleeping on my chest and I woke up panicking because I was sure I had forgotten to put little mister back in his sleeper. Luckily since then I haven't been that scared but I do jolt awake whenever one cuddles beside me until I realize it is only a cat, not a baby. It is amazing how our little ones have completely consumed our minds.

I've done this!

Also I missed my dr appt last week because I thought it was Wednesday and it was Thursday.

I went to a baby group today. It was awesome. I noticed half way through that I had baby poop on my thumb nail. Wonderful. I licked my other thumb and cleaned off the poop thumb. I'm a nasty bish... It's TMI Tuesday come early.

Just made coffee... Without the coffee... AKA hot water. So disappointed when it chimed that it was ready and I had to start over

My baby will pretty much only eat in a side lie hold so I always prep a bottle before we go to mommy & me. Last week I realized the bottle was still on the table at home as soon as I arrived... So I spent 60m sweating it out and then treated the group of 15 or so women to an awesome display of trying to get LO to latch semi-sitting semi-reclining without a cover... Then I returned home to wasted milk. :/
