Stupid things I've said and done that I'm going to blame on pregnancy

Sounds aweful huh? But how else can they be explained?
Things I've said:
"So you're a nurse? No... I meant you're a nurse. NO! I meant you're on a nurse today? AH! Sorry! You're with a nurse today?"
"No, I'm not nauseous, I just feel like throwing up!"
"I can't find my shoes!" to which my husband responded "They are in your hand!"
"Where are my glasses?" response "You're wearing them."
"Do you want to color" "yes ma'am" "Okay... but do you want to color?"
Things I've done:
-I have to pin numbers on childrens back and then give the parent a corresponding number in order to pick up their children. I knew that I had taken 2 off of the hook, but I couldn't find the second one. I asked the mother if I had already given it to her, she said no, so I gave her another one. About a half hour after the mother left I found the missing number! I had pinned BOTH of them to the little girls back!
-I was making dinner at my mom and dad's house and I needed to get the rice out of the pantry. I kept opening the refrigerator and getting mad because I couldn't find it. Finally my mom asked me was I was doing, "I'm just trying to make rice." "What are you getting from the fridge?" I laughed and walked around the corner to the pantry, after I got the rice my mom asked me again "What were you getting from the fridge?" "Nothing, I did't realize it was the refrigerator!"
Okay... that's all for now. Most of this happened the week before I found out I was pregnant! I've heard it's only going to get worse! Pray for me!
So it's been a LONG while... but I'm finally posting something!

5 tests later...
Okay... so I knew I felt funny, not like something was wrong but something was definatly different. I felt sick all the time, everything was louder, everything smelled stronger. My monthly was late, which I was starting to become accustomed to, probably because I was stressing my self out with "I want to be pregnant" and every month I would test and 15 -45 mins after I tested I would start. So I didn't expect anything different. Well, I waited until I was 5 days late before I convinced myself to go buy a test. So I walked around walmart for about an hour before I actually went back to the pharmacy dept. Then I walked around for another fifteen minutes before I picked up the box. I finally went home and sat down at the computer and played solitare for about another 45 minutes before I convinced myself to actually take the test. I went into the bathroom hurried up and did what I had to do and threw the test in the medicine cabinet before it had a chance to tell me "NO" again. I went back to my computer and played another game of solitare before the anxiety was almost going to kill me! I went back into the bathroom and opened the cabinet and there on the test were 2 lines. I set it back down and left the room for a minte, then went back in and picked it up again. My husband was sleeping between shifts and I didn't want to scare him, so as much as I wanted to yell I didn't. With test in hand I walked into the living room trying not to cry or fall on my face and I said "Petey" it was too late I was crying. He opened his eyes and looked at me, then he closed his eyes again. "Petey, wake up" He noticed this time that I was crying. He looked around the room and then at my shakey hand and said "Are you pregnant?" I started balling, I've never been so happy! We talked about for a while then I got up and went to take the 2nd test. After that one came out positive I called my cousin to bring me some 'offical' tests. Then I took one more before I went to bed. I fell asleep and when I woke up I was sure I was just dreaming, so I went into the bathroom and took yet another test. It was still positive, and I still felt sick. I was finally convinced.
Our baby is due on or around April 10th. We're hoping for April 12th... that was my Grandma's birthday. I really don't care if its a boy or a girl as long as the baby is healthy! I'll keep everyone updated on Dr visits and all of that good stuff! I'M SO EXCITED!
