Why I’m Crying Today

ChasingTheDog

I cry at the drop of a hat anyway but add hormones, exhaustion, and a cold to that and just about anything gets me. Yesterday I cried because my husband didn’t tell me he was sorry I feel like garbage and today I’m crying at Criminal Minds— which is absolute garbage but oh so easy to watch. 

Since misery loves company  I want to hear why you’re crying too.

Oh man. I feel for you @ChasingTheDog

I am not usually quick to cry but my first appointment is tomorrow and I definitely welled up when I filled out the paperwork hahahah

I cried this morning because I read an article about Claire Ryann and her dad on The Voice. 
I also cried when leaving a VM for the nurse at my dr office because I'm still trying not to freak out and I just need to talk it out with them.

Totally get it. I cried calling my doc office too, and it was somewhat routine. Seriously, what is my deal?

It's not a lighthearted cry, so bear with me. I cried because I'm terrified of having HG again (I was diagnosed with it at 7 weeks last time) and I'm in a new job, so I really cannot afford to be off of work like I was with my first, especially since I forgot to opt into short term disability and the window is way past closed, and the one year project I was hired on has a crunch time of the next month or so. I'm trying to hide this pregnancy here as long as I can until I know if my position will be extended or not.

And there's really nothing I can do about any of those things, besides what I'm already doing, so that made me cry more.

@loko08 Hope things turn out well for you.  FX!

 I have not cried yet today, but I'm sure it will happen based on yesterday's events. I was contemplating leaving my Facebook BMB from my pregnancy it with J because one of the women in the group is selectively targeting me and being a general bitch.  I have literally become her bitch eating crackers. So yesterday I kind of snapped and called one of the other girls in our group that I have a phone number for and told her I was thinking about leaving the group because I don't feel very welcome there anymore. Obviously this was an extremely hormonal conversation because normally I would just turn my phone off and walk away for a couple hours. However, I am having an issue with not being able to rationalize things so I keep engaging with her being a bitch to me.  The situation yesterday was me posting something going on with our voting in the Senate and I said is this real life right now and a few of the girls started doing the lyrics to Bohemian Rhapsody back-and-forth and I said "FFTC I don't like that song.  I understand that being a member of the LGBTQ community I am supposed to like queen, but I don't."  Out of that she said "I don't understand why you have to be so divisive about everything lots of straight people like Queen too." It's just turned into this stupid petty thing, and I lost it yesterday when I was going through my inbox on the bump and we had 100's of messages back and forth during that time and really liked each other.  Yesterday was a hard day I will leave it at that.

I cried bc I can't find a decent apple orchard in this flipping desert state!! I need apple cider donuts. I just asked my mom to bring me some from Iowa but I'll have to wait another month before I see her and that makes me cry more!! 

sandbar517

@ivyvines6 I'm sorry you're having a rough time.  Changes in and losses of friendships are horrible.

@loko08 @ivyvines6


We can all cry together.

I cried when I was kid because I saw on Barney that you could save your apple seeds and grow an apple tree, so I started collecting them. My mom asked what I was doing with them and I told her I wanted to grow my own apples with them. She then informed me that apples don't grow in Florida because it's too hot. I cried for a long time over that. The orange tree in our yard was never good enough for me.

I’m watching all the seasons of greys anatomy on Netflix. I’m crying just about every other episode. 

bwow615

I'm also over here crying at all sorts of things shows. O always get choked up at the personal stories on the voice. 

ladystinson

Nothing has gotten me yet today. We had our first u/s (I'll post to the thread as soon as I get the pic on my phone) and I fully expected to cry when we saw the heartbeat. The practice I'm at does an abdominal scan before the transvaginal to check for abnormalities outside of the uterus (great plan actually) so we're just chilling watching and all of a sudden theres the heart! I was so surprised, I had no clue that you could see the baby on the abdominal at 7 weeks (not super clear, but clear enough) but it caught me so off guard I couldn't even process at first lol
Yesterday I cried over a facebook story, mom was in a store while toddler was having a meltdown and an older woman touched the mom's arm and told her "it's ok, you're doing great"
Over the weekend I cried at Dixie Stampede because hormones lol

sandbar517

@ladystinson the story going around about the little boy in Target with the dinosaurs, and the old man who gave him money *TW* because he had just lost his grandson *end TW* totally got me the other day.  Couldn't stop crying at that one for a long time.

ladystinson

@sandbar517 omg I forgot about that one! that was the one that made me question whether I might be pregnant because I'm not generally a crier and that made me tear up

onesmallcoconut

Mostly I just fought the urge to cry.
I needed some alone time after work (rough day) and I got about 15 minutes of it when DS began asking for my attention and it killed me because I wanted to be alone so badly but I couldn't say no to his earnest little face. (DH gave me the option but I just couldn't do it)
So I struggled for the next hour feeling happy that he wanted to be near me and also feeling miserable because I wanted to be alone.
And then feeling mom guilt for wanting to be alone when I was at work all day and he was at dayhome and all he wanted was to spend time with me for the few hours we have together before bedtime. 
*sigh

Mine is from my ultrasound.  We wanted to make sure it wasn't ectopic.  The tech put a wedge under my bottom, and after she removed it, I couldn't move.  It threw my back out, and I barely hobbled out of the office.  It hurt so much I cried.  It relaxed after a few hours, though.

I watched This is Us. And I can't stop sobbing.

So, I'm a photographer. A person contacted one of the vendors I work with (a videographer), and said 'My husband is dying, and will never see his teenage daughters marry. I would like to set up a mock first dance for them, so they have that memory, and he gets to do it before he passes." We actually sent the videographer, a dj, and one of us to give a full day. A bridal store rented the daughters wedding dresses and a suit for him. 

It was beautiful. Absolutely heart breaking. 

We were just told the father is on hospice care right now, and probably will not last the weekend. 

And of course that makes me think of my daughter and husband. And how at every wedding I photograph I picture them walking down the aisle, dancing, etc. And it pains me to think about that possibly never happening. 


AAANNNDDD now I'm crying again at my work desk. 

okaykoala

The frickin' Windex commercial where you see the entire life of this girl from baby to mom and her relationship with her dad. It's a bit much. I know. I can't help it! 

fraufarbissina

I just cried reading the advice on having more than one kid from @mommabmb in the STM thread.  I feel like I'm going to burst with emotion!!

@JenniatONU that story isn't helping my emotional state!  So heartbreaking!  Has anyone seen that Windex commercial with the dad and daughter? My lord I've never cried so hard.  

Edit: didn't see the post from @okaykoala so now I know I'm not the only one!

Kaysquared2

Because I’m so tired all the time and have such a hard time eating right now.  Then I realize I’m being ridiculous.

@Poppy0419 I watched This is Us too!  Ugh. Gets me every time.

This commercial, oh my god!

suchaglencoco

@JenniatONU, well that made me cry again! What a beautiful gesture for all of you to have done. As someone who's father wasn't there for her wedding and dance, it hits me right in the feels. 
Seriously, I love happy stories like this of people helping out strangers.

Afm, I cried today while holding DD. She snuggled up against my chest and tears rushed down my face. Motherhood is amazing and I am so blessed and we're hopeful going to be blessed again next year. It's just too much for my heart to handle at times.
Super lame and cheesy, I know. 

bumpemma

I'm crying about everything! Sometimes it's joyful crying that we are pregnant after infertility! Sometimes it's for absolutely no reason - I showed hubby an article about funny things pg women cried over and he's been quite okay with me crying now. 
Call the Midwife has me in tears every episode...
I got my best friend who's due today a book for her first son titled "You were the first" and we were both crying looking at it. It's a really sweet book for the STM's out there!
I also TW (loss mentioned) learnt about my good friends baby loss yesterday, though she is strong and doing well TW and my cat passing away.

How far are you in to call the midwife? I'm halfway through the sixth season and I'm full of animosity towards the writers since season five's Christmas special...

bumpemma

@ivyvines6 episode 8! I have forgotten the Christmas special already. But how much I loved and cried over the episode with the boy with down syndrome. I think I just like the show too much to care about any changes.. but I want to watch from season 1 again soon. 

justsuzie

I cried at work reading the thread about pg mamas in this group dealing with major family struggles during their pg. I cannot even imagine.  

ivyvines6

@bumpemma My issue with the show since that one main character left the show a few seasons ago (I'm trying not to reveal spoilers to anyone just in case) They don't pay enough attention to individual topics to make a point. The episode about FGM had me livid because they could have focused on it better and not done seventeen other things in the same episode. 

I do agree that the episode you mention was incredibly touching. 

bwow615

@ivyvines6 are there still new episodes airing of call the midwife? I swear I was caught up but I think my sister told me there are new ones out? 

momo214

I worked a long day then got a flat tire on the way home. Luckily I make it home but have to be an hour away tomorrow morning and check in a 8am. I cried because my hormonal self felt like DH was just blatantly ignoring me and my tire issue. I may have thrown a Tupperware of pineapple at him.... then I cried rage tears. Don't piss off a pregnant woman. 

ivyvines6

@bwow615 I watch them on Netflix. They just recently added season six to it.

BlackAndGold09

Today... because my 15mo was eating pizza like a big boy and omg were having a baby.

Yesterday... because I lost my phone in target but someone turned it in

ladystinson

@bumpemma I didn't even have to look the book up, just the title "You were the first" got me crying at my desk at work lol

silverhope

@momo214 I probably would have thrown something harder than pineapple tupperware  I hope your flat gets fixed soon. I have had so many car issues lately, so I am very sympathetic to how frustrating that is. I am scared to drive my car more than 30 min for fear of it breaking down.
