Why my pregnant self is crying...

slartybartfast

I'm crying but it appears to be a chemical reaction to the horrible amounts of gas I have. If any of you are wondering why you've been flatulence free the last few days it's because I've got it all.

I cried the other day in the car because I was thinking about how much we all used to go to Cracker Barrell and don't as much anymore. I just sobbed and sobbed, and when my husband asked what was wrong, I cried, "I miss Cracker Barrell!" 

Then the other night we were riding home from visiting family and I cried because the seatbelt was touching me.

@yellingbanana my husband just started playing Destiny last week. Now Mighty #9 came out and he's all over that.

@yellingbanana Battlefront is the hotness at our house right now, but we also we hooked our PS3 back up to play Skyrim. Lol

phoenix870509

@dmontgo you had your PS3 unhooked? DH got a switcher so that he can have all of his systems hooked up to the TV at once. Just press a button and he can go from PS3 to PS4. No such thing as an unhooked system in this house (except the Wii, because it overheats and melts the pads into my furniture...not cool)

dmontgo

@phoenix870509 Technically it was hooked up upstairs, but we're renting an older house and it's hot and uncomfortable to play in the guest room since there's no fan. We brought it downstairs again though. We would keep it down here all the time, but our entertainment system is too small to house both without one being on the floor.

We also have an Xbox, N64, PS2, and Sega. One day I want to build a cool station for them all to fit in!

I'm sobbing watching America's Got Talent right now!

@dmogmo sounds like you need a new entertainment system! Reasonable excuse to do some furniture shopping  
We just have a tv stand that has a couple of cabinet doors under. Only 4 shelves, but they are dedicated to my systems/games so it works out nice. Bought it from Walmart actually, and it's lasted about 6 years so far.

The reason I cried today is because it was so hot when I went outside I went back in and cried. My DH must think I'm crazy at this point.

Our downstairs "entertainment center" consists of 2 bookshelves we put together. We've got the PS3, PS4 and XBox One hooked up down there. Upstairs in the multipurpose second bedroom we've got the N64, PS2 and an Atari Throwback hooked up to one small TV, and one of the 360s hooked up to the bigger TV. The Wii was also hooked up there, but alas it needs to be fixed so it stops overheating, so we're hooking up the GameCube. I think the only 2 systems we don't have are a Dreamcast and a Wii U. One day DH will get his prized game room and 70inch TV and hook up all the systems in there.

I cried this morning because I finally got my bagel with cream cheese and chocolate milk. So good. I cried when it was gone, too. Pregnancy is weird...

The birth announcement threads.  'Nuff said.

Last night, DH was gone most of the evening for a work event so I was home alone - which I don't mind. On FB, a classmate of mine had a videographer with her during her birth, and I follow the photogs FB page, who actually posted it. It's not graphic or anything, but watching the 3-4 minute clip had me bawling. 1) due to the entire event and miracle of life - so beautiful. The look on her face, her husband's face and her mom's face after birth was so sweet. And 2) that I could see the pain on her face while she waited for the labor to really kick in, and that freaked me the F out.

All in all, it was fun to see. DH would never be on board with something like that, and I don't know if I'd want someone else in the room videotaping everything going on when I probably would just want to be alone to deal with the pain.

mysteryship

I cry if DH looks at me funny these days. And he's the sweetest person, but if he needs to clarify something I've said, or if I'm being insecure and he has to say "yes, it's ok" forcefully, I lose it. I keep saying to him while crying "it's not real, I'm just pregnant", but it's no fun for him...

"You Are" by Lionel Richie.  I have heard it on the radio an absurd number of times since I got pregnant and for some reason it makes me cry every time.

phoenix870509

My boss just sent us an e-mail letting us know one of the VPs of the company passed away today. He was a really sweet guy and I liked him a lot. I was on a client call and started crying. I had to tell her it was allergies.

jlcm2015

I was laughing so hard that I started to cry and that morphed into actually crying to the point where I was extremely distraught and had no idea why.

Since then every time I've laughed that hard I've started to cry because I'm afraid its going to happen again and I'm upset with how weird it is.

dmontgo

I was exploring the Bump and came across the most heartbreaking birth story very unexpectedly. I wanted to stop reading, but I couldn't. Just tears and tears. Life can be so unfair.

jandd2014

I cried because DH asked if I changed the batteries in the smoke detector. I was just proud of myself for taking them out in the first place and going out to buy more.

I can assure you t here will be major tears tonight because it's the last time I put ds done as a 1 year old. He wakes up a two year old tomorrow and I'm crying now typing this. It goes so fast, girls. So, so fast. I also cry because he calls me mommy now and not mama.

My dd will be 6 (WTH?!?!) the end of August. She had started calling us Mom and Dad. It hurts when I hear it, because to me she should still be a toddler calling for mama/dadda.

Interestingly, almost every time I am laughing hard right now, it turns into tears. Not just a little tear in the corner of my eye, either; it becomes a full-on sob. The first time it happened, my husband and I were sitting there laughing because I can't flare my nostrils (you know, like when people are mad and flare their nostrils at you?). I admit, when I admit to do this, it looks pretty hilarious. My whole face basically just starts twitching. I'm usually able to laugh at myself for this, so my poor hubby thought nothing of it when trying to teach me how to do it. We were both sitting there flaring our nostrils and laughing hysterically, when all of a sudden I just burst into tears

I had a melt down the other night because DH bought floor cleaner home and my pregnancy brain took that as he wanted me to wash the floors that night.  They need it but that day I had been getting sick all day. I just broke down. My poor sweet husband did everything he could to calm me down but I was just in drama mode! End of the day  poor DH has to deal with two people in his house with toddler like melt downs

beff12

I cried because I'm so tired of being annoyed all the time. DD threw her ham on the floor and the dog ate it and it made me so frustrated because she always throws her food. Aaaaand I cried. What.

Cried today while reading an article about Unitarian Universalists wearing angel costumes to "protest" the Westboro Baptist Church people. Cried again while reading an article about a trans woman's co-workers embracing her after her transition. All the feels.

I'm re-reading the HP series, and yesterday I cried thinking about how under appreciated Neville Longbottom is. 

ashleaf2018

@LinziLoo09 Oh trust me, I definitely appreciated movie-version Neville Longbottom. He was such a hunk in the later movies!

H4aPartyof5

I rarely cry unless pregnant, but even having read the book and knowing how it ends, I decided to go see "Me Before You" this afternoon.  Bright idea, not.  Nothing like trying to hold back tears multiple times while seated two feet away from complete strangers.

So true. and I hate how in book three parallels are drawn between him and peter pettigrew. And one of the things that never added up for me is peter doesn't seem like the type of person that lupin sirius and james would have hung around with in the first place...
Anyways, yes. Neville. Unsung hero.

cayaylonglegs

I stupidly turned on The Notebook this afternoon. I cried so hard I threw up. Good times.

aframe77

Dear god whatever you do don't read "The Thorn Birds" by Colleen McCalough. Some women in my book club recommended it so I downloaded the audio book for a long road trip for work.  I nearly had to pull over I was blubbering so badly.  You've been warned! 

ErikandAfton

I was a hot mess yesterday! My BFF got married so I cried when she got ready. I cried at the church. I cried at her Dad's speach. I cried during mine, and the best man's too! I swear all I could do was cry.

We got piglets today and a few of them got out, it was a total nightmare trying to catch pigs that haven't learned to trust us yet. I finally had to call it quits because it didn't feel right to keep running around in the heat, and I cried because I couldn't keep helping.

Granted, I might have cried anyway, it was pretty frustrating. Yesterday I came close to hitting a few critters with my truck (chipmunks, mostly) and I cried even though I didn't hit any of them. 

LinziLoo09

I finally finished my binge of the new OITNB season today, and it ended on a terrible cliffhanger. ...which made me cry. When DH asked why I was crying, I cried some more while trying to describe the plot to him. 

Seriously though, I don't know how I'm going to wait a year for resolution.

<Also, DH heard me frantically typing and asked, "Are you posting in the 'What I cried about' thread?" HAHA pregnancy>

I think I speak for everyone when I say you should post pictures of these piglets. Because piglets.

Crying because today my body feels miserable. Pregnancy is a lot harder on the body than I realized it would be. I feel tired but nauseated but also my head hurts and let's not even talk about my boobs...bleh. I'm thankful I have the ability to carry this baby, and I feel guilty for complaining when overall things have been fine. I just am going to keep crying until I feel better. Good plan.

mysteryship

Here are some of the piggies. They get less cute as they get bigger, which makes it easier to take them to bacon camp.

@dmontgo I feel you, I'm constantly amazed at how hard this is, even though I was expecting it to be hard. And I have it relatively easy compared to many.

dmontgo

@mysteryship Yeah, isn't it crazy? I didn't believe it would be easy, but thinking back to just how badly I wanted to have a baby, I don't think I really thought about it. I guess it's one of those "You can't know until you're there" situations...

ashleaf2018

@dmontgo Just because pregnancy is hard doesn't mean that you are ungrateful for your baby. We had a previous loss and I am so excited about this baby, but pregnancy has been hard for me as far as having a lot of morning sickness and weight loss. You can love your baby and hate the pregnancy symptoms. I hope your symptoms begin to subside so you can really start to enjoy it more!

Knottie1427847452

@DiFazette You are totally okay in feeling overwhelmed! I too am expecting twins and and am overcome sometimes by how this is going to change everything. It is okay, and at times it will be hard, but when I get overwhelmed I try and just think about the babes inside of me, and I couldn't imagine it any other way. I recently saw a video on YouTube of a song by Nichole Nordeman titled "Slow Down" and it made me sob. Check it out! And then right after that I saw a link to an article about a mother who overheard an elderly man say to his wife, while looking at her and her family, "those were the days, weren't they?" So every time I get overwhelmed I try and tell myself that these days and the ones coming up are THE days! They are going to be amazing, hard but amazing, and you are going to be amazing to your twins, evidenced by you already worrying and caring about how they are and what will happen!

I cried because DS turned two. I also cry a lot because my milk is basically dried up and my nursing relationship with ds is going to end soon. He isn't going to take that well and neither am I.
