Forgetfulness and Pregnancy

It's a somehow known fact that pregnant women get a little more forgetful than usual from time to time. We all are forgetful. It's part of our brain makeup. But add pregnancy to the equation and things can get jumbled. For example, we enter a room with a mission and wonder why we went there. This morning I was in the kitchen and turned sharply into the dining room area, but stopped and froze. My mind completely forgot what I was off to do. But the forgetfulnness that I displayed this summer cannot be justified. In May I excitedly planted tomatoes. Frequent waterings took place in June. By July, the watering was replaced by sheer forgetfulness, an inability to get climb out of the window, and mosquitoes. To get to the garden, you have to climb out a window. It was getting harder for me but not impossible. The summer heat wave and mosquito infestation caught me in a battle between to water or not to water. I guess I chose the latter one too many times because the plants took on a wallowed look and produced only four tomatoes total. I had killed the plants. Weeds took over where soil was supposed to be. I forgot to water on the non-rainy days, which was everyday from July 1st to August 19th! When I did remember, I came back in the house with welts all over my limbs even through clothes and a squished stomach from the window climbing.  And I kept forgetting to water the tree on the front sidewalk. I passed it every morning and afternoon taking and picking up my daughter from school. But it didn't dawn on me. I forgot. So this morning I gave the poor tree a bucket of water. A summer of forgetfulness turned me into a plant killer. Oh my gosh. I've committed murder. Can my defense be lack of memory?  No, I have to get those memory cells to bounce better in my brain or else my poor cat will be next.
