Hello.
I feel as though I need to record one of my emotionally challenged moments experienced during this blissfully wonderful pregnancy. I always knew I would once be the pregnant girl with no out of sorts hormones and would be so stable and calm, even with raging un-controllable hormones. But, in reality I Bee Michele Hoffs am no different than the rest.:) So for documentation purposes and to let you all know I am a real woman, here you have it!

"...so right now after saying good-bye, (to talking with family), it was 10:20pm and exhaustion overtook me. I had become a melted slug. So while Joshua was busy cleaning up and & clearing my pathway to the restroom in the middle of the night, there I lay. Then, only moments later these intense hunger pains reminded me that I had not eaten for an eternity (4hours) & was starving! So, after turning down all of J's offerings, I finally agreed with a straw-baby P.B. & J. and there I lay... with the arrival of the sandwich, I wanted nothing more than crawl under the covers and close my eyes. Which I did while Joshua was showering. I then realized that I had not taken my pre-natal pills yet, but again was too tired to move. So with un-touched sandwich in hand and acquired pills, Joshua coaxed me into eating this sandwich that I wanted so badly, but despised it all at once. How is it possible to be so hungry and not want to eat? a very rude trick indeed. So, what did the non-emotional, non-hormonal, strong willed, hard-headed pregnant girl do? the only logical thing really- cry. yep. it sounds so ridiculous as I write this, but there I sat in tears over having to eat a sandwich that I did not want, but oh wait, remember how I did? 
and because of this strange happenings of events, I did eat half of the deliciously gross sandwich by the way, I have awoken in tears again. For remembering how crazy I was last night, for feelings of guilt for dear Joshua & his crazy wife and because I would not drag myself out of bed to help send J off to work & being able to have the car. Oh well. I guess the only thing to do now, is laugh and move on. This is my life..." Bee

I have yet to find a woman who only cries for "qualified" reasons. however I can only imagine how irrational things must become when one is pregnant...... I will pray for you, to be like every other woman and enjoy being pregnant to it's fullest. :)
With MUCH LOVE - E
I think every woman who has been prego can empathize! That sheer exhaustion mixed with intense hunger pains but then no desire to eat and appease them and then the seemingly crazy emotions...hormones can really throw you for a loop I tell ya! No worries - as abnormal as you may feel it's totally normal for your condition! :)
Cute story. You'll be glad you wrote it down! :)
We got together with The Bro's last Saturday and missed you guys! Check our blog for a pic... :)
Take care Brooke! :)
Thanks for sharing your emotional pregancy story. It makes me feel a little bit more normal. Pregnancy horomones are like no other!!! Just wait until you have the baby and are nursing. :)
Brooke--Ahh the blissful moments of being pregnant. I too thought you would be superwoman and have no worries with preg hormones but it is kinda comforting knowing that you too have felt the craziness of being pregnant. Isn't it amazing how our bodies react to building a little baby...so when you feel guilty or feel bummed by the way your emotions work just remember that your body and emotions are just paying a small little price for a huge reward of a beautiful baby. Plus...Josh is a tough one and so loving so I'm sure even though he wonders what the heck is going on...he understands at the same time. He probably wishes he could take all the stress of pregnancy away from you too!!!
Josh I'm sure is loving every minute. All the changes help you recognize the growth your baby boy is making. Your family is adorable and your coming over after our spring break next week. You look beautiful!
I love this post and think it's awesome you shared it! You are totally entitled to every emotional roller coaster those crazy hormones are throwing at you. I promise, you'll survive. :)
Oops, that last post was me signed in under my mom's ID.
