I must admit I have always been a little clutsy, but rarely forgetful before I was pregnant. Now, I am more clumsy and forget things so easily. One time I was at my parents house and had to lock up my dad’s van. The next morning I get a call asking what I did with his keys. I was like, “Didn’t I hand it over to him?” I checked my person and behold, I absent mindedly put his keys in my purse. Good thing he had a spare so he was able to drive the car to work. Since then, I’ve tried to tidy up and keep things organized so I minimize things I need to remember. I’ve even created a To Do and Upcoming Events list on my big white board by our bedroom to keep me on track. However, as much as I try to get organized and slow down my thinking process that absentminded cloud sneaks up on you. Just as recent as yesterday after my Doctor’s appointment I deposited cash into my ATM without the required envelope to identify where the cash was being deposited. I had just previously deposited into my BofA account and for some reason just followed the same depositing process with my CalNat account, which I forgot for that instance was different. I called customer support and branch supervisor immediately to make sure my money was well accounted for and was safely into my account. Thank goodness it was not too much of a hassle and they just reminded me that next time I should use and envelope:)
As the day draws near in anticipation of our new arrival, all I can really think about is all the needed preparation that has to happen before he arrives. I surmise that contributes to us pregnant women being clumsy and forgetful, aside from our hormones going here and every where. Speaking for myself…my mind is in a fog at times trying to watch what I eat, how I carry myself, how it will feel when contraction starts and of course the actual labor and delivery praying all with go well with mommy, baby, and daddy. Yes, I also worry about baby daddy checking to see how he is emotionally and mentally with the anticipation of our baby.
