Pregnancy Brain

I guess when you're pregnant, you're brain turns into mush.  That seems to be what's happening to me anyway.  I also seem to get upset (crying or angry) over things much more easily.  I was already an emotional person, so this is really fun.  It's like my brain is in a fog. 

I think just knowing you are pregnant brings about so much emotion.  There is anxiety and excitement just with the knowledge that inside of you is a life that is growing and changing everyday.  Then, you add the hormones on top of that.  Wow!  Some days I want to cry all day.  Some days I want to yell at people all day.  And some days, I want to do both.

Regardless of how crazy I feel, the thought that I can be a small part of God's creation, whom he knew before the world began and is knitting together at this very moment, is worth every hormonal outburst.  I don't know what the future holds.  God knows all too well how terrible it would be for a person like me to know the future.  I wouldn't be able to plan enough for it or not stress out about it.  I thank God for each moment this child is with us.
