Preggo Brain

I like to think of myself as a pretty intelligent and witty person, so I thought I'd skip right through the "preggo brain" that I'd heard about. I was SO wrong, and now I provide Steve with lots of entertainment. This is my favorite story by far . . .

When we were home in Florida for Thanksgiving, we were driving to the bookstore in a pretty affluent area of town. Up ahead, I see a little enclosure close to the road, like almost tent like but totally sealed. Now, obviously, I had been in Louisiana too long, because I totally just assumed people were selling pets on the side of the road. You know, "Get your Christmas puppy, kitten, whatever, here!" I'm thinking, wow, they got a fancy tent to sell some pets. So, we get closer, and I can see sheep. Yes, sheep. I am amazed these people could be so country, to be selling some sheep on the side of a busy intersection. I exclaim incredulously, "Steve, those people are selling SHEEP on the side of the road!" He's like "What?!" I'm getting ready to talk about how country they are when we pass and I see it is a . . . wait for it . . . a nativity scene. And no, they were not real sheep, and not even real people! Steve got a good laugh out of that one, and I had to laugh at my own silly self. I just knew those people were selling sheep! I still laugh when I think of that one.

In addition to that, I've given some amazing one liners. However, in keeping with the preggo brain, I can't even remember them anymore. I think Steve is probably secretly keeping a journal of all of them so he can make fun of me later as payback for all the hard times I've given him when he said something crazy.

At least in the midst of the discomforts of pregnancy there are opportunities for humor and laughter!
