Me too, I can’t remember any of my coworkers’ last names, even ones I talk to every day

Pretty sure my brain purged the names of 95% of my high school. I was looking through my yearbook and nothing sounded even vaguely familiar.
Every lyric in every song. I would go to sing something to her, start off with one sentence, and then stare at her with my mouth agape like a nincompoop because all other lyrics had vanished from my brain.
@Linden
Same!! I knew all the songs I wanted to sing her to sleep and was so keen. Now I can sing like one line over and over… Sorry baby!
You would swear I’m having a stroke the way I slur my words sometimes. And I can’t remember half the things I was about to say.

This made me cackle. This is me.

Yes! Not remembering words and the ones I do remember try to come out of my mouth at the same time AND it sounds like I’m talking with marbles in my mouth. It’s so embarrassing. Mine are 1.5 and 2.5 years old and it’s not getting better.
When my first was born, I wanted to sing her a lullaby but I forgot the lyrics to literally every song I’ve ever known except 9 to 5 by Dolly and Bitches Ain’t Shit.

This just reminded me that I sang my baby Colt 45 for the first 3 weeks of her life. It’s all I could come up with!

This happened to me too. All I could think of was Baby Beluga by Raffi.
Short term memory is just gone. Especially for work-related items that my team is driving but I am not working on directly. Luckily they’ve been through me having a kid before and they know it’s temporary.
@Freddie
I had to create a whole new to-do system for small tasks at work that I kept forgetting about.
@Freddie
Is it really temporary? Like when does it come back? I am seven months postpartum, and my short term memory is truly horrifying. I forget important things, too, like the pediatrician telling us to use Motrin instead of Tylenol for teething pain. I need my old brain back!!!
@Micah
Mine hasn’t come back… it’ll be three years next month. Sorry 
But it hasn’t gotten worse and some days are better than others!
@Freddie
Yeah, short term memory hey. 4 years later and it’s still no good.
I just stop mid-sentence all the damn time because I can’t figure out the words for what I’m trying to say. “You know…the thing…the thing that keeps food cold…a refrigerator!” It’s like that situation several times a day.
Also, another…not fully saying the “ing” in words. I have no clue why or how but I now just say “in” like “I’m bakin’” instead of “baking.” I don’t even know what’s going on with this one but I’m making an effort to try and change it because it’s driving me insane.
Lol I was trying to describe Dick Cheney but couldn’t remember the words vice president, I kept calling him an old assistant president.

At first, I read this as “assassin president”

New petition: VP is now the Assistant President. Well, the Assistant to the President.
My ability to do mental math just evaporated. Ugh.
