Pregnancy brain

brainI intended to blog pictures of the baby's room last night and I completely forgot! I most certainly have pregnancy brain. I am so incredibly forgetful. During the first trimester I mentioned that I would forget things like whether or not I shampooed my hair, but that passed and I was doing really well until recently. Now I'm forgetting bigger things like taking prizes to the front desk, calling people back, blogging! This is crazy. What's worse is that I fear it's driving everyone else around me crazy too. And what can I say? It sounds like an excuse to say "It's pregnancy brain," but it really is. I have so many things on my mind right now. What do I need to pack for the hospital? What do I need to have done at home before baby comes? Do we have everything we need? Ooh I had a little pain do I need to pay attention to that? Did I drink enough water today? Did I forget anyone on the call list? Who will be our baby's doctor? What are we doing for daycare? Who will be our back up sitter? Everything seems so important, but it's all just crowding my brain making me forget everything! You should see my coffee table it's filled with notes, because I feel that I need to write everything down before I forget it. I'm pretty sure this is the worst part of being pregnant so far. I feel like a shell of my old organized self.

Any suggestions on how to deal with pregnancy brain?
