Comfort and Joy

I will turn their mourning into gladness; I will
give them comfort and joy instead of sorrow.
Jeremiah 31:13

Oregon brain

So, I didn't mean to announce quite so early that I was pregnant with baby #4 but my brain is completely mush.  I told my friend after I accidentally announced on Instragram by posting a picture of my 2 boys in their Big Bro shirts that I had Oregon Brain.  I meant to say Preggo Brain but spell check changed it to Oregon Brain and I honestly feel that way.  I am all over the place.  I have felt great with this pregnancy besides some back pain (such a blessing...best of the 4) but my brain is gone.  I keep saying and doing things that are hilarious.  I am emotional, forgetful, and pretty scattered and if you know me well, you know this is not the typical me.  I am usually very organized and remember most things well.  I guess being pregnant 4 times in less than 5 years has finally done it to me.  I think this is my body saying, enough already...give me a break!  The picture I posted on Instagram is below.  I put this quote with it. "What do you do on a cold, rainy day in Boston...watch a movie while enjoying popcorn".  Should have said "We are having a baby...woo hoo" because every comment I received after that made me realize I had made a mistake.

My high school girls jumped on this in about 2 seconds and I was receiving text after text wondering what the shirts meant.  Oh well...we are over 12 weeks which was my goal but I was planning on waiting a little bit longer.  Here's hoping to my old brain coming back and Oregon brain going away.  If not, I guess I can deal with a scattered brain for 6.5 more months!

*If anyone has asked to follow me on Instragram and I haven't responded, I'm sorry.  I use that for really close friends and family.  I don't mean to not respond.
