Honestly, I got choked up thinking about all you First Time Moms out there and how absolutely amazing your life is going to get once they place that baby(ies) in your arms.
I "snunnelled" (my son calls it this, he can't say snuggle yet) with my 1.5 year old son this morning while we watched, "choo choo" and he turned to me out of nowhere and said, "MOM. MOM?!" and I said, "what baby?" and he grinned at me and then kissed my forehead, then turned back to the show like nothing had happened, like it was totally normal (which it is) and no big deal. And I got to thinking about how freaking pumped I am for you new FTMs to have moments like this with your own babies. It's the most indescribable feeling you will ever have, that fierce, fierce love you muck through a lot to get to but in the end it's just something to marvel at. You find yourself thinking and doing things you never thought you could ever or would ever do. I mean, I struggled with infertility, that unknown. Your kids end up being your greatest strength and your greatest weakness, just in the best possible way.
I pictured myself beating up a 5 year old the other day because he got in my son's face, wanting to cut in front of him for the slide. And it felt good. You get so protective, so Mama bear. That's special.

Well, this made me cry at work.
I mean it girl. It's just so epic. Your greatest love. It doesn't ease up, it doesn't go away, it just means more and more.
We might quit church because a family friend turned frienemy has been super critical of my boys and now figures they shouldn't be welcome at our church anymore.
My sister just got engaged!! They've been together for 9years and we all knew it would happen someday but nobody was expecting it. She told me over the phone and I started blubbering like an idiot. I am sooooo happy!!!
@banfrog Stories like that make me so sad. I hope you're able to reconcile the issue, or at the very least to find a church that welcomes your family as all should.

EVERYONE is welcome at church. I don't know your church community, but if you've somehow found one that is unwelcoming to your children, I'm so so sorry and you definitely deserve to find a better one. More likely your family friend is just the absolute worst. Anyone who wouldn't welcome children to any faith community deserves to be slapped really hard by a bony fingered nun.
Also, I'm ugly crying because I follow Humans of New York on Facebook and the photographer is doing a bunch of stories from a pediatric ward at a cancer center. As he put it, war stories. I had cancer as a kid and even though my kids aren't at any increased risk of pediatric cancers it is my worst nightmare and I think about it all the time.

Definitely one of my favorite Instagram follows. I cry a lot about that account.

Yeah he's incredible. When he does heavy stuff it's so well done, and then every once in a while you get an adorable story about a cute little couple in their 80's out on their first date or something. Also his letter about Donald Trump made me want to hug him. He's the best.

I, a ftm, just teared up reading this. Cry-ception?
@DunkinDecaf I think it's mainly just her. We had a falling out awhile ago and she didn't handle it well. She knows my kids are a touchy subject, but she's taken the pains to make sure that if I call her out on it I'll be the bad guy.

Yep, this did it for me. I can't wait to be a mama bear. Also your 1.5 year old sounds adorable.
So I had a bit of a scare and ended up seeing my MW today. She had an u/s done and everything is OK with the LO. BUT she moved my DD back 4 weeks! The thought of moving to the December board is seriously making me cry (no offense D16, I'm sure you guys are great). I already feel like I know so many of you guys I don't want to leave! So even though my new due date is 12/26 I'm staying on the November board!
My husband and I watched a movie last night where the wife dies. I knew it happened, it was in the preview. I could not get it together!! I was ugly crying for a good ten minutes and then started laughing because I knew how crazy it was!
I was going through songs on YouTube trying to find good music to play at our wedding. Every single slow song made me cry. Then I'd turn on something faster and I would instantly feel better. I also cried the other day when we drove through a city that my fiance lived in when we first got together. Apparently I have some extra attachment to that area, so I made him drive by the house too. Oh hormones..
Stupid rabbits keeps making nests in the most unsafe areas in our yard! I keep crying because the baby bunnies are drying because hawks, cats and other predators keep finding them. I can't take finding any more dead baby bunnies in my yard!
Me and dh walked into a maternity store today for the first time ever... I need work pants. I found it on Google, it was Destination Maternity. After seeing a simple black t-shirt dress for $360, a little in shock, we went to the sale section... The cheapest pants on CLEARANCE were $95. Most nearly $200. And they were ugly anyway. I looked at dh and said "I'm going to have to go to work naked... We can't afford this.. Can we go?" And walked out of the store SOBBING. I was inconsolable. Thank god, or next stop was old Navy where I got 2 mat sweaters & 2 mat dresses for $60!!!!!

That's sad. If you love it there and you feel it's the right fit for your family you should just ignore them. I don't understand a "Christian" (I'm assuming here) that acts that way.
I cried bc I was thinking of my bf's mom passing away and not being able to see our kids and then bc I miss my papa! It's been 8 years but I still miss him like it was yesterday. Very emotional lately
@campbaby76DH and I discussed it and we're going to stay at least a little longer. If other people start pushing my boys away, then we'll reconsider. DH figures I might be too hormonal about this right now, he may or may not be right. It'll be interesting because she's one of a handful of people in our children's ministry, so she has the potential of making waves there. At least I know our pastor wouldn't stand for it. He's got a soft spot for kids, especially the loud busy ones.
That Johnson & Johnson Nurse's week commercial where the nurse is singing a song with his patient, a little girl. Made me cry last week and almost made H cry today (and he's not even in that line of work!) so apparently it affects the partners too.
I tried to watch "Max" (the movie about the german shepherd war dog) on the plane a few weeks ago. I got 10-15 minutes into it and could not stop crying. I still want to watch that movie, just this time will be at home, with ice-cream and lots of kleenex.

My mom mailed me a care package this week...including one of the last teddy bears my grandma made before her hands/eyes got too bad to hold knitting needles. Grandma has Alzheimer's now, so we're not really telling her about the baby yet as she'll either forget or it'll be the only thing she remembers for months. Hopefully she's still in a statin the spring when I take baby home to meet her great grandbaby. And yep, tears again thinking about that.
I'm so glad mom kept some of these though, and that she sent it. But right in the feels man.
I called my parents and the call dropped. Inconsolable.
