Watching the news in the morning. There's always something that gets me.
Also my in-laws were on vacation a couple weekends ago and brought us back a children's book that is about the island (Martha's Vineyard, we go with his family every year). Apparently there was an author signing when they bought it and the author made it out to "Little Baby (last name)". I literally BURST into tears.
I am doing a reading at my cousin's wedding this weekend, and I cannot keep it together. Every time I read it, I start tearing up. I have been crying thinking about my uncle walking my cousin down the aisle and when I think about what my grandpa is going to be like (he gets so emotional with things like this). It's just too much for me right now. I am hoping I can keep it together.. especially since my extended family does not know I'm pregnant.. I don't want to "let the cat out of the bag" until a few weeks after the wedding. I'm afraid it might be too obvious with my emotions though.
Because every time I watch Toy Story 3 (which my son loves right now) I bawl at the end and then it makes me feel like a bad mom because I don't appreciate every moment and feel like I don't spend enough quality time with DS.
DS has a 102.5 fever He's so blah and it's the complete opposite of his personality, it's unsettling. I feel terrible for working all day and am now over emotional about it.
My daughter asked me today why I didn't do the breakfast at school with her today like her friends and their moms and dads. Because I COMPLETELY forgot is why. I'm juggling so much right now, and just totally dropped the ball on that one. I asked her to run upstairs and get something (after I apologized to her), so I could sit in the bathroom and cry. Minus one for mom.
@Sissy42 I'm sorry you feel like you let her down. Kids are resilient, she will forgive you no matter what. You just have to do the same.
And @sapphires-and-diamonds I hope your son feels better soon! We all feel that mom guilt sometimes and it's so hard when your kids are sick!
I almost cried watching my neighbor's little boy run straight into the street tonight. His mom was right behind him and grabbed him but it still scared me! I felt her panic so deeply. She has her hands full with three littles and it makes me worried about keeping track of 2.
This! We were just at DD's open house for school. While in her classroom, my niece pointed out that DD was in the 100 club - the first and only kid in her class. I didn't know she could count to 100. Promptly burst into tears out of surprise and pride and embarrassed myself. Lol
Me (33). DH (37). DD (2.2012). MCs x4. After 4 years & 7 months, due 4.2018!
Oh man, I had a random thought in my head when DH said he had to set an alarm for work tomorrow, of me not waking up one morning and my 3 year old being locked in her room all day until he comes home, and how she would be in a wet diaper, hungry, crying, screaming, confused, scared etc. That i wasnt coming to the door to let her out. I had an anxiety attack about it and started bawling. Wtf head?!?!
We finished reading “Stone Fox” yesterday as our read aloud book (third grade teacher). I cried, a few of my kids cried, it was one big classroom of emotions.
I was driving the other day and a car swerve to miss a turtle crossing the street, I was able to miss it as well then I burst into tears for the turtle that DIDNT get hit.
@tooraloorah, all the 3rd grade teachers in my school can't get through that book without crying either! Thankful 4th grade has a less sad read aloud (although I might cry this year...who knows).
@keeksie84 I kept telling myself that I knew what was going to happen, so I’d be ok. Nope. Lol. I am hopefully showing the movie this week and am better prepared for the scene again.

I got a little teary when Sara Huckabee Sanders got emotional during press conference earlier regarding loss of life of heroes who saved others. Maybe she was sincere, maybe not, but the words hit me.
Because I feel like I'm up to my eyeballs in kids all day and I'm so freaking tired. DH was outside painting when both kids melted down simultaneously (DS was mad that he didn't like the orange I gave him and IDK what the heck DD was screaming about), and I yelled out the window that I needed help. He finished what he was doing before he came in, and all I could do was cry. Normally this wouldn't bother me but I feel like I have no coping skills right now. When I said I needed help, I needed it now. Not 15 minutes later.
He quickly took them to the park to give me a chance to breathe, but shit. Hormones, man.
@kmalls my coping skills with the kids are pretty awful right now too. DH got home from work today, there were puzzle pieces EVERYWHERE, and DD1 was screaming, and DD2 was crying because DD1 hit her about the puzzle, both dogs were barking, the timer was going off for dinner, and I was sitting on the floor in tears. When he got there, I took dinner out, went upstairs and am currently in a mommy time out.
coping skills. what coping skills!? mine are gone. I feel like i'm killing the parent game right now but holding on by a thread in most other areas. SO hasn't asked how my day was or how i'm feeling or even really acknowledge the pregnancy in days (probably longer but I don't want to be dramatic). I don't need him up my ass but geez i'm gone all day commuting in and out of the city, doing daycare drop and pick ups and growing a human, i'd love a how ya holding up? I cry because I don't think he even has a clue hes so checked out to my emotions or me.
Because I feel useless. I spend all day at home killing time, most of it in bed. This no school, no job, no kid to chase around is sucking the life force out of me.
@ekendall09, I'm sorry you're feeling disconnected from SO. Pregnancy in general is hard for them to relate to (for obvious reasons), I think, and the changes it usually brings to the relationship are hard too. I'm feeling similarly - I was the one who really wanted a 4th kid and while DH went along with it, I know a part of him is resentful of this pregnancy and the changes it has brought along with it. I hope things get better for you soon.
@allowachick, that sounds like a tough place to be. Are there good volunteer opportunities in your area? I know I feel a lot better if I get out of the house, even with kids to chase around.

@lindsye absolutely, changes and pregnancy go hand in hand. we have DD about 80% of hte time and I sometimes forget that while i've been through through this before he spent his first 39ish years doing his own thing and not having to worry about how crazy pregnancy hormones are. I do understand both sides.
