Here’s a good one for you: pregnancy brain is a REAL thing. Either that, or I’m just losing my mind all together…and if you follow me on Instagram then you already know this, BUT…
Last night, I put Lucas to bed without a diaper on. Or underwear (not that he wears them to bed, he’s not potty trained yet). Nope, just his Batman jammies. He had said he needed to go pee pee on the potty shortly before bed, so we had gone in and took the diaper off so he could do his business. From there, we washed hands and brushed teeth, and then he got playing with Jay in his room before bed and, somewhere along the line, just climbed into bed without me thinking twice about the fact that he had no diaper on.
When I woke him up from a dead sleep the next morning, I noticed he was pretty wet, which I assumed he’d just peed out his diaper (he had a lot of water before bed…of course). So I stripped his bed and went to throw his bedding in the wash so I could come back and strip him down…and then I hear, “Uh oh, mommy,”
I get back into his room to find him standing on his mattress (which is now stripped of everything, mattress pad and all). He looks down at his feet and says, “Pee pee bed, sorry mommy.”
And that’s when it hit me. He didn’t have a freakin’ diaper on him.
I told him it was okay and that mommy was silly for forgetting his diaper, and I actually good a fairly good laugh out of it. Jay had to leave early for work that morning, so I was scrambling to get him washed up, dressed, and ready for the day, while also trying to make his lunch and get us out the door on time.
We weren’t on time. But we made it eventually.
Thankfully, the copious amounts of baking soda I doused his mattress with, paired with some serious blowing of fans, did a good job of soaking up the stains and smell. Ay yi yi.
And that is all I’ve got for you today, my friends. One fun and funny fact.
Now tell me…what fun and funny stuff have you had happen to YOU lately?? ;)

Pregnancy brain I definitely real!! This was very entertaining to read!!
Brynn says
Oh no! When I was pregnant I lost everything. But my crowning moment was accidentally turning on the blender with my belly and yup, you guessed it, no lid. Smoothie flew everywhere.
Courtney says
Hahaha, that’s fantastic!
heather @ life in leggings says
oh man, that sounds crazy! i would totally do something like that though, pregnant or not. give yourself some credit ;)
Megan says
I paid for Starbucks then drove off without getting my coffee. I said the same thing to the cashier when I came back. “Pregnancy brain is real!”
Courtney says
LOL! I love it
Melissa says
His reaction is so cute! This sounds like something I would do even without pregnancy brain. My daughter loves being naked (what kid doesn’t?!) and so before he bath I let her crawl around on the floor naked for a few minutes. Well one day I was like WHAT is this big wet spot on the floor? Uh yeah, she peed… and I don’t know why I was surprised about it, as if it couldn’t happen lol.

If you have any Purification left from your oil kit – diffuse that in his room – it will suck the smell right out! We also mix that and lemon with the baking soda when we have had this happen to help.
Can you tell I have been in a similar situation before? :)

This might turn out to be a happy accident — now that he has that feeling of being totally soaked, it may spur him on towards toilet training! (How’s that for wishful thinking?)
When i was pregnant with my 2nd i went to get my coffee from the Keurig, only to discover it wasn’t there. For a brief moment i actually thought someone had stolen my coffee! Then i realized that i had indeed brewed my coffee, i just forgot to put a mug underneath… sigh….
Taylor says
Oh gosh that is too funny!! Have a great weekend!
Emily says
Aw what a sweetie for saying sorry like that! When my oldest was a baby and going through a phase of waking up to nurse every hour at night, my sleep-deprived self went to change her diaper and somehow totally forgot to take the old diaper off. I just put the new diaper on over the dirty diaper she had on and went to put her pants back on!
Catherine says
Even though I saw your Instagram last night, I’m cracking up. And the stories in these comments…I’m dying!
At least you both reacted as well as you could given the situation.
I remember calling my doctor to make an appointment when I was pregnant. I forgot my phone # not once but twice and just had to laugh and say “pregnancy brain” when I finally called back. This happened on more than one occasion!
Julie says
Too funny! I thought you were going to say you went in to get him in the morning, & he was dry! Ha ha sorry, no such luck!
Sarah @ Sweet Miles says
Hahaha! That is both hilarious and frustrating at the same time! At least you had a good laugh about it and I’m sure Lucas enjoyed the fresh air over night! ;) I have found myself putting Adeline’s pants on before buttoning up her onesie, only to have to then take her pants off, and then button her onesie, then put pants back on. All. the. time!
