last night i had a dream that i caught my husband emailing a fifteen year old girl to tell her that he was in love with her and couldn't wait to leave me and be with her because he didn't want to be a father or a husband he just wanted to be a teenager forever. i recounted this dream to my husband and i was laughing at first because i knew it was ridiculous but then halfway through telling him i just started sobbing. i even surprised myself with this one!
@mko_ pregnancy dreams are insane! And vivid. Hormones!
I threw up today after basically being bedridden with a throbbing headache for hours. As I threw up the entire contents of my stomach, the tears were streaming down my face, and i choked and gagged. Naturally, this made me dry heave when there was nothing left to throw up. This has been a sucky, unproductive use of a day off. Now I need to go adult, but all I want to do is stay in bed. Sorry this turned into a bitchfest!
@mko_ I had a very, very vivid dream that my husband was cheating on me and I literally woke him up in the middle of the night, absolutely furious, lol. And I logically knew it was a dream, but it was SO real and upsetting!
My hubby (in an attempt to be flirty) kept poking at me and messing with me and wouldn't stop. I had a horrible sunburn so it was annoying and I asked him to stop a million times. Finally, I just busted out in tears but was laughing at the same time. It was weird. And in front of my FIL. Oops. I think he got the hint then. LOL.
My dog is staying with my parents while my husband and I go on vacation. She is up there for an extra week before we leave (tomorrow) because we live far away and we were visiting last weekend so it was easier to leave her then. I miss her so much. My mom sent me a picture of her (when I asked her to) and I started crying.
Happened a week ago but it definitely took me by surprise. My mom, sisters, brother-in-law, and my daughter and I braved IHOP on a busy Sunday for brunch. I knew it would be busy, but I also forgot how small/crowded that place feels when it’s busy. My mom put our name in and they told her around a 10 minute wait which didn’t seem so bad, I suppose. I got there a few minutes late but it seems they sat a few people that came in after her before us since we had a bigger party. One of the waitresses/hostesses looked at the list and told us they could seat us now at one of the big tables in the front (I guess instead of where they might initially have put us with people still camping out there...)... so my mom just said OK. BIL was already complaining of the wait and being hungry since he’s a dill hole. We didn’t realize at first this was a high top table and my daughter is 3. Ugh. On her best behavior this may not have been a big deal, but she already was getting antsy so my mom gave her a toy (with wheels, no less) to keep her busy. When I saw the table set up... crowded in and higher up I have my mom a look when the waitress asked, “ is this all right?” And I sort of just shook my head but said... “fine...” mostly as to not make everyone else (BIL) wait longer for food. Within 3 minutes or so my daughter “raced” the car off the table into a group of other diners (at their feet, not on the table) and then also refused to sit up on the raised seat and was slumping to the point of almost falling off a few times. I just started tearing up and without anyone noticing at first I just started quietly sobbing. Just the feeling of being overwhelmed in public and knowing I’d be the one busy chasing her around and hopping on and off our stool. Blarg. When everyone else noticed I felt really stupid but I couldn’t stop for at least a couple minutes.... I did make my mom be the bad guy and take the toy away and she gave her a book to look at and it surprisingly worked! She didn’t try to escape but she was a bit whiny until she saw her food. Ohhhh, three-year-olds.... In a way the whole ordeal worked in our favor since it seemed to make BIL a bit more on the quiet side which is for everyone’s benefit.
@LostinUtopia what a frustrating breakfast experience. Dh doesn’t understand why it’s not my favorite to go out to eat. I have a 4 and 2 year old and they constantly need me, my help, or just to be nearby me. H spends most of his meals able to eat. I’m so exhausted after meals out. I also now will turn on a kid show on my phone. Maybe I’m not the best parent at times, but the sanity I get when I turn on Baby Bum - it’s such a relief.
I've got a good one. I cried on a bus (in public) because the bus was late and I missed my appointment. It wasn't really an important appointment and I rescheduled. Then, that night I had a dream that I missed another appointment and cried in my sleep.
@ab_canada I totally cried when DH thought he could take his time and made us late to my first appointment with dating scan. I had to reschedule for a week later. I was so upset!

We were playing a board game yesterday: me, DH and our roommate. It's a cooperative game and we were trying to kill these monsters... I had this awesome move that was going to kill two of the monsters at once and I was SUPER excited for it. DH tried to convince me not to kill one of them so that he could get experience on his turn too. I was so excited for the combo move I was playing and just started bawling that he didn't want to see my awesome move. 2 minutes later, while continuing to cry, I started to laugh hysterically because of how funny the whole situation was. DH is able to handle my pregnancy emotions, because normally I figure out when it's something ridiculous that's related to pregnancy hormones and laugh at myself because of it.
Anyhoo, DH and our roomie are super sweet. Our roomie got me tissues and DH got me a snack and we continued to play while I sniffled and calmed down.
Teared up yesterday at Wendy's by myself because I was sitting next to a mom of this *adorable* little boy and he was so sweet with all of his questions and his clear adoration of his mother, it made me kind of picture having a son for the first time. (I am getting tears in my eyes just typing this - hormones!!!) Anyway, I had a bit of gender disappointment when I found it I was having a boy, I think simply because DD is all I know and I love her so much I just wanted that experience times two. And I have a brother, who I am not close to, which makes me sad, so I was hoping for her to have that special sister bond. But just sitting next to this sweet boy, for whatever reason, just hit me and made me really visualize a son and it was just a really wonderful experience.
@maureenmce Now you're gonna make me cry! I've been having some small weird feelings about having a boy too. I don't have kids and have little experience with them in general, so I have no idea where any subliminal preference would come from. I guess it could be, somewhat like you, the strained relationship my parents and I have with my brother. Anyway, I've been feeling much better about it. My step-sister had a little boy a few months ago (she lives in Australia so I haven't met the baby yet) and he is just SO CUTE, so I think that's helping - her telling us they were expecting while we were there on our honeymoon is what fully switched me into lets-have-a-baby mode - I had still been a just a little hesitant until then. I've been trying to think about how wonderful it will be if he turns out like H, and that's been making me feel a lot better too.
@hkom Exactly! Before I found out the gender, I was convinced we were having a boy. I started imagining what a lovely person this little boy would grow up to become, just like DH, and honestly I felt a twinge of disappointment when we found out we were having a girl (even though that was my secret wish the whole time). I was thinking what a great helper he would be for DH (and DH definitely was hoping for a boy) and felt a little sad for him.
We just found out Monday that we are having another boy and I cried. I really wanted to have a girl since I already have a boy. I want to have one of each and experience all the fun things that you get with both genders! And all the way up to our anatomy scan, I could have sworn to you it was going to be a girl. I've been craving sweets, I felt more sick this time, my belly is shaped differently, etc. Nope. Doesn't matter that my pregnancy has been different. Still another boy. I think I cried because I was so convinced and attached to a girl. It's ok though. I cried that day (a few times) and now I'm feeling excited about giving my son a brother! Watching them grow up and have that brotherly bond will be special. I just needed to mourn the attachment I had to the idea of a girl. That's all.
Because today is my DD's first day in preschool! She has been doing a couple of hours in the preschool class each day last week, but today's her first full day. I'm just having a hard time because she cried on Friday (she never cries at school) because the preschool lunchtime was so loud and overwhelming. (It's double the size of her class.) And she's also really attached to her toddler teachers. Her best friend is in the class already, thankfully, and I know she's going to be fine, but my DD is normally so feisty and confident and energetic, it absolutely breaks my heart to see her scared or hesitant! I know transitions are tough and they have to happen, but pregnancy hormones are not making this one easy on me!

This is hilarious. So much of our pregnancy behavior is preparing our SO's for parenthood
