I am always thinking 'but I'm smart...why do I need to use the calculator on my phone to add up how much I just spent, why do I stare at it blankly after finding it on my phone and try to figure out what i need to do to work out how much I have left to spend (true story), why don't i have a clue what this person is talking about, and, the big one, what DID i do yesterday???' Given that I am no longer pregnant, I'm calling this 'mummy brain' and am hoping that I return to my original intelligence when I get full nights sleep or stop breast-feeding... It does scare me though that some older women I know warned me when this brain fog started that you never quite return to how you were before...I'm hoping for a new and better kind of normal... So don't worry....or do...but at least you're in great company! oh boy, I so know what you are talking about!
