Why My pregnant Self Is Crying 10/13

LMMama

What's making everyone emotional these days?

I wouldn't say I've full-out cried over anything in particular. Last night my DD came into my bed though and this morning she just looked so little sleeping, but she's not so little anymore (she's 4) and now she's going to be a big sister and I teared up a little over that first thing in the morning.

Because DH forgot to return our LO tuxedo after he was in a wedding.

We did a final walkthrough of the house we sold. I cried through every room while holding my son... stupid stuff like this is the bathroom I found out I was pregnant with you in and where my water broke all over the floor, this is the staircase it took me 20 mins to get down when in labor, this is your nursery I obsessed over and then you didnt even sleep in it until you were 9 months old. And then more serious like this is where daddy carried me over the threshold after our wedding, this is where you took your first steps.

My doctor returned my message and told me she couldn't give me anything for nausea and vomiting. She said ginger and saltines help. No s***, what do you think I've been doing? So I shut the door to my office and cried because I can't imagine feeling like this for the next 6-??? weeks.

My Red Sox were eliminated in the postseason this week (no more Big Papi stepping up to the plate). 

Jubileena

That James Taylor song "you've got a friend in me" came on .. bawled! I don't even know why!

@Elyse1384 My husband is a Red Sox fan and I'm just meh. But when Papi was taking his final walk around Fenway I was boohooing like it was me.

My DD randomly lifts my shirt up and kisses my belly and says "it's so cute". I'm sure she has no idea there's a baby in there but it always gets me

Watching Tarzan with my son, and the scene where the little baby monkey dies

Well @mombod for sure got my water works going! 

Was able to see our little nuggets heart beating today. There's almost nothing better. Many tears.

Everything makes me cry. If it has the tiniest amount of feel good feeling, tears. So annoying. I'm not an emotional person so it terrifies my husband. At least he knows it's a pregnancy thing. 

I saw a cat in a tube sock today. Tears. I hate cats, wth? 

Jendink

Watching a funeral service for a fallen police officer. He had a young wife and 2 year old.  It's just heart breaking!  The saint Louis community is coming together to support this family and it's so heartwarming to see. The ugly cry came out

@MotherofDragons I saw that cat and totally get where you're coming from. For anyone needing a good cry....

I cried when they gave DD2 a birthday crown at school even though her birthday is this weekend.  Her whole life was made.

If the saltines and ginger don't help, you can buy Unisom and B6 at the store and it's the same as Diclegis (a prescription used to help with morning sickness.) Weird she wouldn't just give you a diclegis prescription to start with though.  If your NVP persists to the point you get dehydrated and your OB won't do anything about it, you want to consider switching drs.

I watched Unaccompanied Minors, and right at the beginning when the mom was saying good bye... I started bawling. 

I also ugly cried when I couldn't find the diaper bag...

We always do a "my favorite thing about today" at dinner with DD (10 months) who always babbles something when we ask her and I cried when DH told me I said the same thing yesterday.

wifeinraleigh28

I cried yesterday because I was so tired that I needed to take a nap. But we're on vacation!

HollyGolightly09

Oh Lord... Why am I NOT crying?
Let's see, in the past few days:
-Hubby won't discuss the baby with me, and I feel like when I bring it up he changes the subject. 
-We had a security issue at school yesterday and spent the day on lock down.
-My kitten had to stay at the vet. 
-My husband left for work (yeah, you're right.. they are getting more ridiculous, lol)
-I'm annoying myself because I cry so much. (that's not a summary of this post, its another reason I cried.  )

1- I was talking to my MW about maternal outcomes in US hospitals (I mean, it's sad, but not that kind of sad...)

2- My DD blew out THREE pairs of pants today and daycare "accidentally" threw one away. Not upset that they threw them away (they were covered in shit. I totally get it), but because they were so apologetic about doing it

3- I was tired

4- for the only legit one: I was reading a story about a Police Officer killed in the line of duty who had just returned from maternity leave. UGH! Making me tear up typing it! 

shsmart13-2

I just teared up looking at all of the ultrasound pictures that people are posting. I can't wait for mine on Tuesday. Of course, they were happy tears. I am already an emotional person and we have to go to a wedding tonight so of course there will be waterworks.

My intern made me cry the other day.  This is going to be an long year, y'all. 

swanbrooner

Listening to Hamilton and "Dear Theodosia" got me right in the feels

amberp1528

Yesterday I was good on the crying front but could not stop laughing at the weirdest things!! 

HgPa

@swanbrooner Are you me? I definitely also got
teary listening to that this week.

jgil85

I was at the grocery store and heard Tears In Heaven. I started bawling in the middle of the frozen section! 

silliegirlie143

My Mr is practicing lyrics for his band's next gig and I'm helping him remember word order and crying because PREGNANT. He is very impressed (note the sarcasm)

Song: Last Kiss covered by Eddie Vedder

I had a dream I was fleeing the country with nothing but my son in my arms after the election. I woke up crying because holy crap it was so scary and because that is the actual reality for some people. 

I blame knottie{insert 837 numbers here} for the heaviness of my dream after reading the UO thread

Knottie42089123

Lol!!!

I had a craving for BLT sandwiches one day. I just made everything and had it all prepped and ready to go. But then I noticed our bread was moldy. Started bawling! My husband saw me and said "I guess I'll run to the store quick to get more bread" which made me cry more because he handled the situation so well. We laugh about it now haha

delujm0

I think DD has officially weaned...she wouldn't latch at all tonight and just wanted me to rock her.  bittersweet because I definitely wanted her to do it soon so my boobs have time off before #2, but I wish I'd known that last night's very short session was it.  we lasted 17.5 months so I'm grateful for that.

JennMof3

Everything makes me teary eyed. What the heck! I wasn't like this with the last 3! I'm 13 weeks in 3 days maybe it will tapper off eventually. 

mombod

@delujm0 my son just weaned too and even know I knew it was coming and told myself I was ready I still feel a little sad. Im with you... when did my baby get big?

jc_twomamas

@delujm0 and @mombod DS weaned himself around 13 months and I was totally unprepared! It was nice to have my body back for a few months before getting pregnant again. I miss nursing and still get a little sad sometimes though. I would have continued as long as he was willing to! I'm looking forward it again for sure. 

Praying41

I bawled last night at my neices Christmas production and this morning while watching Grey's. Doesn't take much for me these days. I can think about something sad and I feel my eyes well up!

stella1011

Cried earlie today because Charlotte (the spider) in Charlotte's Web died.  My two year old looked at me like I was nuts....LOL

tjvan

I keep tearing up when the new Subaru commercials come on - "put a little love in your heart"

JennMof3

I'm crying because my husband pulled the draw out too far and corner side first the whole thing landed on my big toe. Also because my family (parents, siblings) are shit bags and changed the holidays plans to a day we weren't available and didn't even tell me. 

kfry22

Because my husband was out and I asked him to get cold medicine for me. He called from the store and claims he couldn't find any of the ones I was telling him were pregnancy safe. So now I'm dealing with a stuff nosy, a sick one year old, and my husband has been plowing snow for the last 24 hours.

I was craving fried Chinese dumplings all day and we finally decided to order Chinese food for dinner for dumplings sake.  Food came in only to find out everything was there except the dumplings.  I cried literally while staring at the food.

Every year DH and I take a week-end for ourselves and we each prepare a surprise date activity. I made a reservation for an escape activity I wanted to try with him. 
When we arrived (right on time at 4pm), the guy told that they were waiting for us at 3pm. And he was right! My reservation was for 3pm. WTF Brain?! 
Anyway I was sooo disapointed for DH, that I couldnot be able to remember one precise hour correctly. I thought I ruined the week-end and I got really emotional and made it bigger than it was. 
We had a great evening anyway!
