My DH came to bed late the other night. I got up to pee and came back to bed finding him sleeping, with the blankets partially kicked off the bottom of my side-just below my mound of arranged pillows. I began bawling, then he got upset because I was upset...then told me he'll sleep downstairs so I can be comfortable... Then I cried harder and begged him to stay... Then I needed a hug before I could sleep again. Oh the joy.
Don't know if anyone has posted this yet.... Sorry if it's been done. If anyone has been following Joey +Rory Feek (the wife is dying of cancer) - they made this video the day their daughter was born at home with midwives.... OMG. Bawling!!!! Joey and Rory Feek--- If I needed you

@jmknox I was following it but had to stop because every single time I read anything about them it makes me cry. Not only because it's a sad story, but because I think about what if something like that happened to me or DH and I can't handle that! It's so incredibly sad though.
I've been watching a really beautiful nature documentary on PBS where this photographer set out to follow two sets of mama and baby moose in the Canadian Rockies for an entire year. I became very attached to the mama and baby mooses. And then one baby got eaten by wolves during the winter, so of course I cried. And then in the spring, the other mama has to turn on her calf and drive it away before she gives birth to her new calf, so I cried some more. I don't know if nature documentaries are safe viewing for me while pregnant!
I came home and flipped on the TV and the end of Titanic was playing. I'm not even talking about the sinking-ship scenes, but the part afterwards on the research boat with the old lady and Bill Paxton. I mean who gives a shit about the Bill Paxton parts of Titanic? Well apparently I do when I'm pregnant because I full on cried.
Oh God... another nature show that happened to be on TV. A few weeks ago it was the mama and baby moose. This week it was a family of penguins. The baby gets separated from the mom out in the frozen tundra and nearly freezes to death. Meanwhile, the father gets separated from the other fathers while out hunting and struggles alone for the sake of his chick. Sitting here with tears streaming down my face wondering why nature is so cruel! I can't take it!
My husband was reminiscing about all the stupid things he did as a kid, and how he got hurt various ways...
I said "I can't let the baby out, he'll...SOB... get hurt! He's going to bleeeeeeeeeed."
Cue "Okay crazy lady" look from my husband.
It just hit me that bad things will happen to this little baby and once he's born, there isn't a whole LOT of control I retain over it...
To be fair, my husband was laughing about the burn he got from the grill attempting to forge armor on the open flame, and how he chopped off his finger while attempting to cut carrots at .. age 5! (unattended of course) I calmed down when I reasoned out my son will NOT be doing either of these things. Because ... you know... this isn't the 1970's. And you know... NO I am not going to let my preschooler play with knives or open flames unattended.
I'm tearing up because I have to pass gas every 4 seconds and work in a very small room with 5 people. This makes for very uncomfortable moments...even if it is just getting up and walking out of the room every few minutes....

At church a few weeks ago, they told a story about a puppy with an amputation that was matched with a kid who'd had an amputation. It was the puppy that really got me going. I ugly cried.
I ran across an article about a recovering puppy who had been shot with 18 bbs....... I was balling just looking at the picture and couldn't finish the article.
Baby owls taking a bath. Hysterical sobbing to the point where my husband ran in a panic out of the shower to make sure I was okay.... And laughed when he saw I'd been watching baby animal videos - and that was the only issue. He was relived, but he's been shaking his head at me all day and just saying "Owls...."
I am starting on month five now, and I think I have been crying more in
T2 than I did in T1! Typically, it is feeling bad about
being low-energy and a bad housekeeper b/c of it. By the time I get home
from work, I am wiped!
Recent reason to cry # 5,642 -- my
husband's event was delayed, so he is nowhere near home to get me some
Mochi ice cream along the way back, which I am hardcore craving right
now. And? He has the car.
Anyone else have some to share? I can't be the only one crying over differing things (can I? Eep!).
DH worked late the other night and my back started itching in a place I couldn't reach and I was already laying down in bed so I had to get up to get something to scratch with.
I watched air bud...and was full on hysterically sobbing when the little boy took buddy out and tried to leave him to save him from the evil clown man.
Because my husband wasn't over the moon excited when I told him the baby was moving around. @satto_takai I agree. I am crying a ton more in the Second trimester.
Because my boyfriend turned the lights off during my nap....and he knows I like to nap in the dark. Full on hyterical crying. HAHAHA Typing this makes it so much worse.
Been crying since finding out I was pregnant. Uff People at my job make me cry, so inconsiderate.... Knowing I am pregnant and still getting me in trouble. Today I cried as I prayed, but trusting in God. I have my 20 weeks appt. Today and no car. Thankfully we found a ride to the nearest bus stop and will be able to make it. And lastly, crying because I feel isolated from my family when i need them the most. They sure know Im pregnant and no transportation, and no calls to check up on me.... They ones that have helped me are not even family. Smh....
While leaving a store today I was walking up to my car and a lady was about to get out of her car, I was standing between the two cars and she opened her door and wind took it right into my drivers side door. I was inches away from grabbing it to prevent it, but I missed. There is a 12 inch ding (line) with red paint down my door. I got all the insurance info and then got into the car. I broke down crying so hard while driving I had to pull over, I was hyperventilating and just couldn't pull it together. After getting home and looking it over and trying to rub the red paint off. It doesn't seem that bad.
It's a snow day and I was watching the new "Fuller House" on Netflix, thinking that it was silly and corny and just not for me.... and then it got to the part where they all overhear DJ on the baby monitor talking about how she is overwhelmed... and now I am full-on sobbing.
The doctor asked me about my family history, specifically my mom's ovarian cancer. She's been cancer free for five months. The OB stepped out so I could get control of myself back.

I bawled my eyes out when I watched that!!!!!!!

Did anyone see Greys Anatomy last night? It had the water works going for real.
