Messing with my head...

In a follow-up to yesterday's pitiful post, I'm now starting to feel less and less guilty about forgetting my Bloke's birthday, as I think he is up to something...

I'm almost 100% sure that he is pretending to have told me stuff, then pretending I have forgotten, just to get him out of trouble when he has forgotten to tell me something (that's a lot of pretending and forgetting)...

For example, yesterday afternoon via email:

Him: Remember that I'm out bowling tonight with people from work...
Me: It's not called remembering if you never told me in the 1st place...
Him: I definitely told you...
Me: No you didn't...
Him: I did - maybe not that it was bowling but definitely that I was out...

Don't worry - there was no antagonism in this exchange. I'm quite happy to have an evening of eating stuff for dinner that my Bloke doesn't like and watching rubbish TV, plus not having the AC set at 'frost' level (I seem to be over the overheating meltdowns that plagued my early pregnancy).

But it bothers me that I have might have completely forgotten yet another thing... still thinking he's messing with my head....

  2. Cheeky DH!! My memory seems to be getting worse and worse as pregnancy progresses! DH thinks I am making it up to get out of doing things!!

  3. Pregnancy brain is the worst. The bad part is that since Bean has been born, I don't feel like it's gotten that much better! My brain certainly isn't what it once was. I actually left my keys hanging in our front door all night a month or so ago. I NEVER would have done that before. Anyway, all that to say that I can commiserate with you :) And hopefully, your hubby isn't taking advantage!

  4. My husband keeps doing the same thing. We'll have a conversation and I say "Why did you say....." and he responds "I didn't." Or, alternatively, he swears he said something that I know he didn't say. I can't decide if he is using my pregnancy as an excuse or if my brain is really out to lunch. I will say...I have forgotten to include entire paragraphs in my written decisions at work. I know what I thought I said, but it isn't on the paper. So...in my case...I think pregnancy brain is a possibility.

  6. I used to think pregnancy brain was a little exaggerated... that is until I find myself doing and saying many things that make no sense. I've got a bad case of it too. Hope to hear an update from you soon!
