Weird things that made you cry...

MalVough

I did my registry today, but I bought one outfit. I couldn't resist. It's a kitty outfit. We recently found out we are Team Pink, so I've been thrilled to finally start shopping.

Well, I get home and the SO is less than excited about my kitty outfit (there are 3D ears on the shirt!).

*cue tears*

He's a guy. I know that clothes, hair, etc. do not excite him. At all.

But... my kitty outfit!

His lack of excitement totally hurt my fragile feelings and I had a giant, blubbering cry fest.

What has set you off recently? Please help me remember that this is normal and there will be odd moments of emotion that you just can't explain!

Yup. I almost cried last night when DH we're setting up a game & I was shuffling cards. My phone rang and I couldn't find it- so I asked my hubs to find it. And he didn't immediately drop what he was doing to find it so I got all teary. So so stupid. I was fine like 2 seconds later. I'm not generally a crier either.

I feel your pain.

We recently went to see Big Hero 6, and there was a Pixar short film at the beginning that made me tear up about babies. At least it was dark and nobody could tell I was blubbering.

I cried last night when H brought home the wrong kind of pizza.

@Peledreamsofrain‌
I cried through that short too!

I also cried through big hero 6 and Interstellar. And South Park. And church. And because DH used the credit card instead of the debit to pay for dinner the other night. And during an orgasm a few days ago. I've been really happy this pregnancy but these last two weeks I've had a lot of random crying fits. I hate them.

DragonflyDreaming

@Peledreamsofrain‌ Almost exactly what I was going to write! Big Hero 6, but the actual movie. Teared up like 5 freakin' times. The short film was so sad but so cute! I hugged my pup when I got home.

I tend to get a little sad when he isn't as excited about baby things as I am. When I see something baby related I become OBSESSED with it and then I mention it to him, I guess expecting him to start screaming and clapping and jumping for joy, and all I end up getting is "that's cool". We actually just has a long talk about this the other night. He tried to explain to me that its not that he isn't excited but he just feels like since I am the one carrying the baby and feeling every second of emotion and pain regarding it that everything baby is just much more exciting to me and that he is positive that once she finally gets here and can have that connection with her that I do now that he will become a lot more excited about things. But, still it makes me sad sometimes

I cried on the way home from church cause someone stopped me as H and I were walking out the door and H didn't close the door and come back in so it was that awkward "uh hi, gotta go!" And I felt like such an asshole cause that guy is always so nice to me.

I cried this morning because my husband washed almost all my clothes except for the pair of maternity yoga pants I wanted to wear today. I had to wear regular sweatpants to go out in and I just started bawling. I couldn't stop, but luckily DH and I knew it was my hormones and we both laughed about it afterwards.

goofygoff

I cried when I realized we can't go on our babymoon.  Even though the most important thing right now is making sure baby stays put and bakes for as long as possible.  

Then I felt like an asshole and started crying over that.

MalVough

Thank you for sharing your stories! I'm feeling much better. These crazy outbursts can feel alienating and it's like an out of body experience! On the outside, I'm a mess. On the inside, I'm like, "Get your shit together, girl!"

I really don't cry, like, ever. But I've teared up (which is like sobbing to some of my friends) over the following:

- we went to einsteins bagels for breakfast this morning and when we got home, we opened the bag and everyone's bagel was there but mine. (They forgot it).

- the ending to the shawshank redemption that I've seen a jillion times.

- DH not wanting to keep his hand on my tummy for ages to try and feel LO move (he tried but she wasn't active)

And DH not being as excited as me about baby things in general.

mamajack86

I cried the other day as we were packing an over night bag for my DS to go stay the night at my IL's. I almost fell into a full blown anxiety attack over it (he's stayed the night with them plenty if times).

I am not a cryer at all......I almost cried when I saw a mom in my neighborhood playing with her daughter outside. She was teaching her how to drive one of those little motorized cars.

This mom's husband just passed away recently so that is why I almost teared up. It just made me sad that the little girl won't have her dad around.

mommyofkaylin

When I'm pregnant I seem to always tear up to the song chasing cars by snow patrol. No idea why, but it only happens when I'm pregnant.

Skrittens

I cried last night while looking on etsy to try and pick out a knit outfit for the babe and then a cute maternity gown for myself. I was so overwhelmed....

PuppyLove84

I turned on the CNN streaming feed at work the other day when they were waiting for that probe to land on the comet.  And then it landed, and all the people who have been working on this for 10 years were celebrating and hugging, and I was so happy for them that I just burst into tears at my desk.

So yes, I cried because a probe successfully landed on a comet. Weirdo.

CarterWA

I get all teary eyed when someone does or says something nice to me. The other day someone said I looked really good and I just about had like an emotional break down because it was just nice to hear lol

rowboat4

I started crying the other day because I was laughing so hard, and the it turned into full on sobbing, and DH was just looking at me like wtf?

lib1974

@mwerren‌ that is what is bringing mine on too. BIG TIME. I am not a crier either.

I also had a meltdown this morning about something that happened last night. Too long of a story to get into but the short of it is a girlfriend put me is a super awkward position to have to tell a bunch of strangers my pregnancy story. Not her place, bottom line and I wasn't prepared to talk about it yet and it made me sad because I am on my own. I have been totally okay with it all until now...

I got teary watching The Lion King. When Timon and Pumba were just freakin' talking! I was thinking, "Wow, I wish I had a friend like that.", and got teary. Then I thought, "I do have a friend like that! I love Samantha!", and got teary again.

lisap0924

I have done a lot of crying over food. Most recently was Thursday-H's birthday! I was making him a special meal for his birthday and I realized I forgot one of the ingredients while shopping (heavy cream) so I sobbed, on my husbands birthday over heavy cream.
A little while later they showed the couple that just got married and the husband is an injured veteran (paraplegic) and his army buddies rigged up some kind of apparatus so he could stand and dance with his wife at their wedding.
Bawling again!

I cry every Friday at the end of prenatal yoga when we're going through the guided meditation and the instructor asks us to spend a few minutes "talking to and listening to" our babies. Sometimes I cry trying to explain how loved he is already. Sometimes I cry because I can't think of anything to say. Sometimes I cry because I feel like a robot who can't connect with the baby at all. Thank goodness this part is only candlelit.

I also cry every time I feel disappointed by DH lately. Big or small, he gets the waterworks. I cried last night cause he was too tired to rub my back. Diva much?

Today I cried because they forgot to put the package of coarse sea salt in with my box of frozen soft-baked pretzels. Regular salt just does not cut it.

I feel like my post should have been titled first world problems...

djoliet

I just cried because I let my son have my candy can I was saving for my lemon because he wanted it and mom's do nice things like that haha. I was about to send my fiancé out to get more but it's snowing pretty bad and I felt guilty for trying to make him go out in this weather, so now I have no candy canes =( haha

I feel the same way. But if I remember correctly this is both you and your SO's first baby? This is my SO's 4th child and I feel like he isn't excited with me because this isn't his first then I see that some of the first time dads are the same way too and I don't feel so bad anymore. I know he will love our baby as much as he loves his other kids.

Metal+Momma

I cried in a pet store because the woman working made me feel really upset when explaining what the fish would need, it just bummed me out and made me not want one. I cried again in a 5 below 10 minutes later because they were out of the tea I wanted.

I'm also not a crier, but when I read online Friday that Diem (from the Real World Challenges on MTV) died from cancer at age 32, I just started crying. I cried a lot, at my desk, all over my keyboard, and I could not stop. I did not know her personally. I am not abnormally attached to a television personality. I would normally have felt sad about it regardless, as she was a fighter who died too young. But I was DEVASTATED when I heard the news. That was out of character.

Still, RIP, Diem.

I usually don't tear up at stuff either, but I did on Saturday. I went out to dinner with some girlfriends and we went to one girl's house for a movie after. Everyone got a new beer to try in the MYO 6-pack and I had a cup of coffee with some fancy seasonal creamer. (Ooh-la-la) 

They voted on The Purge, and I fell asleep halfway through. 

I'm talking spread out on the couch, loud ass snoring, her bulldog laying on my feet comfortable. At the end of the movie their talking woke me up and I started BAWLING. I kept trying to apologize and reassure them I was having a nice night and did want to hang out, but I was so mad at myself for not really hanging out with them for the film. 

Now it's stupid and we're laughing at it. They've been wonderfully supportive of the "fun" symptoms pregnancy brings. I was just so angry at my stupid fatigue.

I was never a crier pre-pregnancy except for really serious things like best friend dying. But now everything makes me cry. This weekend I cried at the preview for the movie Selma. I have a history degree, I've done a lot of research on the civil rights movement, but for some reason the scenes in that movie just made me completely break down thinking about what people lived through.

I sobbed uncontrollably when our cat got sick from medicine the vet have him and I became convinced the cat was dying and kept telling my husband that the cat had just been there for so much of my life. Btw the cat is totally fine and was just sick for a day.

I cry when I want sex. Totally weird but bc of continued ms my libido is low. Sometimes I'll suddenly feel like sex but DH is already asleep and I will start to cry.

MrsJCool

I am a crier normally, but 100x worse now... just reading this thread had me on the verge of tears a couple of times.  Ugh.

corabrie

My dog kept throwing up over the weekend, and I couldn't stop crying, as I was convinced he was going to die. We took him to the emergency vet; I couldn't wait until Monday to go to our vet. $500 worth of tests later, we were told he would be fine, just wait it out.

anehrkorn

I cried when Qdoba didn't have ranchera sauce and my H brought me a queso burrito instead. (The queso gets too spicy for me after a few bites.) And then I cried even harder because I was crying over a burrito and felt stupid. My H was so sweet, he hugged me and told me it was ok it was just my hormones and went and got me a cheeseburger instead. 

corabrie

@anehrkorn I was devastated when I found out Qdoba no longer has ranchera sauce!  I may have whined about it to the manager.

This made me incredibly sad too! I actually enjoyed watching those because of all the shit they had to do. She was a trooper! Ovarian cancer twice and then colon cancer. So so sad. The picture of her and CT holding hands asleep in the hospital about pushed me over the edge.

skatergrl

Has anyone seen the Delta (I think it's them) commercial where the little girl has to check her bear backpack in the checked luggage and you see the bear go on his journey to the plane and almost gets left? Yeah, that made me cry.

jerzeemomma

I'm crying right now because it just took and hour to get through the Lincoln tunnel and my bus driver is "taking the streets" rather than the highway to avoid traffic. For those of you that work in NYC and commute you know the slow painful hell I'm in right now. This deserves tears, pregnant or not.

corysgirls

My hubby said "Hey, I heard a song that reminded me of you. Listen..." And it was Garth Brooks song called "Mom." I cried like a wee baybeh.

MrsJCool

I cried this morning because none of my bras fit/feel supportive enough, and I couldn't figure out what to wear to work.  It's like my boobs grow a size or two every freaking week (and the were 36D to begin with).

kcbizme

In the training class I'm in today, we have been discussing gratitude. Instructor challenged the class to write down 5 things we are grateful for. Through that entire discussion, I was teary eyed just thinking about everything I'm grateful for.

tabitha722

I cried today because my sister found out she has gestational diabetes and so my mom said that they are changing the Thanksgiving menu to low/no carb and sugar free to appease my sister. I told her that I cannot eat meat, dairy, nuts or lettuce/broccoli (all triggers of my HG), but she told me that GD is a "real medical issue", where my problem is that my "baby is a picky eater".
