What has us crying in the beginning of this brand new year?!

As I've posted in other threads, I've had a few grumpy moments this week caused by people telling me I look big or "are you sure you aren't having twins?" etc. Usually I can just laugh and brush it off but last night after my shower I had a full out break down about it. Snot and tears everywhere! It felt good to cry and let it out and thankfully today somebody told me "You are still so tiny!" Haha!

I watched a scientific video about the journey of the sperm to the egg with all these animations and dramatic music. I cried because I was so grateful that DH has little swimmers that work! Hahaha.

@HGRich What video did you watch? Have you ever seen The Great Sperm Race? It's long (about an hour-ish) but goes into detail about all the struggles the sperm faces in its journey to the egg. I watched it when DH and I were TTC.

@KirstinH88 I don't know, I just found one called the "Impressive Journey of Sperm" on YouTube while I was searching for videos of how the woman's body changes (because I was wondering which organ baby girl was poking). I would totally watch that hour long one though, and make DH watch it with me.

Oh man!  I had a moment last night in the shower and after the shower.  I was *attempting to shave my legs and couldn't.  The RLP was really acting up and my belly has grown so much the last 2 weeks that it popped out of nowhere and is making everything difficult.  I finally gave up and got all teary eyed in the shower. When I got out, my hands were swollen and it took me 20 minutes to get my wedding rings off.  THEN I realized there was still dirt on my foot that apparently I didn't scrub hard enough or couldn't reach. DH asked what was wrong and I lost it.   DH was great and promised to help shave my legs this weekend and said he would scrub my feet everyday if needed.

@HGRich and @KirstinH88 looks like I know what I will be watching this weekend!

I watched August Wilson's Fences. We went on a field trip with about 90 11th graders to see the movie because it is a play taught in our curriculum. The movie was AMAZING and Viola Davis was perfection. I sobbed through about half of it...

There was a mom who was pregnant in DS's class. I think her due date was around Thanksgiving. I noticed that about a month before Thanksgiving, the dad started dropping the daughter off at school. I figured she had went into labor early, but maybe she was just on bed rest. I finally saw the mom yesterday and asked how her baby was and she said "she's ok..." And my heart just dropped because I knew it wasn't a good ok. Then when I was dropping DS off this morning, the teacher asked the little girl how her baby was doing and she said "good." And then the teacher asked if she has come home from the hospital yet and she said "no." 

I am way too pregnant, hormonal, and emotional for all these feels!
