What was your biggest "I have no brain" moment with your baby?

Question

I've had two lately.
The first was when we went up to my brother's house. We got the kids out of the car and were unloading the stuff, and I couldn't find the diaper bag. We were over an hour from home, so big problem. Well, we went in the house, and I was all freaking out, then I dropped what I was carrying and found the diaper bag on my shoulder. Duh!
Then this weekend we were at a friend's house for dinner. One of the other kids dropped her plate on the floor. She made the comment, "Well at least I didn't drop it on the baby." Suddenly I started looking around frantically for the baby and couldn't find him anywhere. Then I looked down, and he's in my arms drinking his bottle. Double duh!!

Answer 1

I was going to pick up my husband from work when I left our newborn bundled up and sitting inside the door way ready for our trip. I went out, crunk the car, let it warm up and went to back up when I saw he wasn't in the car. So I pulled forward and ran in to get him, he was still asleep, but I couldn't help to think what if I hadn't needed to back up, I would have so left him and my husband worked thirty mins away.

Answer 2

ok my sister asked me to babysit my niece for the night because her and her husband wanted to go camping....

i love to spoil my niece....i get her all hyped up on suger right before she goes home....because i dont have to deal with it...

anyways, i put on a movie for her....she was laying on the floor right in front of me.... i dozed off for like 2 seconds.....my husband walked in and woke me up....he kept asking where is the baby....where is the baby?

so im looking every where for her i look in my bed, the bathroom, her bed, the kitchen, the backyard
my husband had called my sister and she was about to come home when i realized she was still laying on the floor asleep.....oops!


my husband claims he knew the whole time.....so he is never going to let me live it down......
so i started freaking out.....
