Brain Dead

Yeah.... So... been a while. Yes lots has happened! A Cruise, Amber's Birthday, Halloween, and we are almost to thanksgiving! So most of you know, but I will embellish.
A week and a half before we were supposed to go on our cruise I had had a few little incidents that made me decide to waste my dollar store pregnancy test (never pay 10+ bucks for a prego test when you can spend 5 and not worry about wasting preg tests!! :). Earlier in the week on Sunday I decided I was going to start again eating healthy (like I do every other week!) and I found myself rushing to my car during the middle of church thanking heaven that I wasn't any further parked away than I was or I knew I would collapse! Getting home and seriously binging like a bulimic! Oh so pathetic and ridiculous! I really felt I was going to collapse if my body was not fully nourished that instant! But then at the time, my body had been doing weird things to me anyway so I was just frustrated that there was one more unexplained unnatural behavior. But then when I was brushing my teeth later in the week, my gums started to bleed. This rarely ever happens unless I'm pregnant. So I decided to waste a pregnancy test and I got up in the morning (because I had to pee) groggily took it and waited a little bit, nope. So I went back to bed and back to sleep. Brett always wakes me up to say prayers in the morning to say prayers with him before he leaves and he came over and said to me, "You better not get sick on me for the cruise!"
"What are you talking about?"
"You know what I'm talking about!"
"No, really, what are you talking about??"
"You're pregnant honey."
"No I'm not. It was negative."
"Yes you are."
"Honey, it was negative!"
"Brooke! It was not! Do you want me to show you?"
Of course I said prove it. So he went over to my bathroom counter and brought it over for me to see that..... well it did say positive. Hmmm... I guess I didn't wait long enough.
Funny. Our 5th baby. Really nothing new, but this last time Brett found out before me and he was the one telling me. And yes I was a little sick on the cruise enough that I only gained 2lbs. because I couldn't stomach all the good things that they made! Then when we got home I got my regular sickness of laying on the couch for at least a month dying! I have only the last week recovered my house from not doing anything for the last month and a half. My gracious (poor) husband would come home from work every night and fix dinner for the kids and him while I layed on the couch like I had done the rest of the day. I just have to say, Kudos to him for being such a trooper and takin it for the team ;) Thanks Honey! So yes I'm about 4 months along and haven't written anything because I was dying on the couch and now I'm just Brain dead! Pregnancy has a tendency to do that to me. So here's my disclaimer: If you meet or talk to me while I'm pregnant or shortly thereafter (especially when I'm still morphined up!;) and come away thinking..... she's kind of...... air headed..... scatter brained..... or just plain dumb. Please know that these are just side effects of the many wonders that my body can preform! ;) Being thus brain dead, I don't know how much I'm going to be writing. Just a fair warning ;) I'm not even going to proof read this!
