😥 I've officially gained 11lbs. I need to get my fat lazy ass working out again. I cannot emotionally handle gaining my "normal" pregnancy weight of 60-80lbs.
I have gestational diabetes (second pregnancy so tested early) and have to really watch what I eat. I asked SO to pick up Halo top ice cream and quest cookies to have as a treat.. he didn't get the cookies.. called me to tell me what kind the store had so I chose two and thought about them all day.. he didn't get Halo top and couldn't understand why it was a big deal if this brand had the same amount of calories. DOES HE EVEN LISTEN/REMOTELY UNDERSTAND!?
I've been watching The Closer series and apparently it's starting to get to me a bit. I'm sure pregnancy hormones aren't helping either. My oldest (8yrs old) has a field trip today to the Museum of Natural History and I started panicking a bit on the way to dropping him off at school. Legit started crying when I was reminding him of the safety rules if he gets separated from the group and so forth.
Ugh..

My MIL babysat my 14 month old overnight on Sunday night and was going to bring her home Monday afternoon and then watch her while I do my online class. I came home and she wasn't there yet. She didn't get her home until 6:00 pm. My class goes until 7 pm so I couldn't interact with her much anyways, but I was so mad that I had to wait to see her - I missed her!
Crying is how I automatically knew I was pregnant! So I was throwing up terribly one morning thinking well maybe it’s a slight hangover lol then the save the children commercial came on and omg I was in deep tears as if it was me on the tv screen! I then donated my last $20 lol felt really good afterwards! Let’s not start with the movies I’m always crying! Princess and the frog, Matilda, the curious case of Benjamin Button, and many more. My Husband’s always telling me that he can’t wait until I give birth 😂😂😂😂he’s tired of me crying!🤦🏻♀️
I think my husband thought he broke me over the weekend. He made what he thought was an off-hand comment about feeling like he's not doing enough during this pregnancy, and I tried to correct him and explain how grateful I am for all the things he is doing. Unfortunately, the emotions came to me faster than the words, so I wasn't making a whole lot of sense as I slowly disintegrated into sobbing. As I realized how ridiculous I sounded, I choked out, "I just love you so much," and proceeded to laugh-cry while he patted me awkwardly on the back.
I've developed a weird habit to attempt to stem the sobs when I really get going, and my husband and I both find it hilarious. I don't think I can accurately describe the sound I make, but I take a deep breath and then let out a very restricted "eennnnnnnnn" sound. It doesn't really work, except for causing more laughs than sobs... but it does ease the tension until I can actually pull myself together. Hormones are so strange.
My husband wrote me a note for valentine's day Read it right before i went into work. Needles to say i had to spend a few extra minutes in the car getting my hormal self together
Was so excited to get my down body pillow, only to get home from vacation today (after a four-hour drive) and open the box, just to find out I accidentally ordered the "down-free" one. Alternating between crying and rage and about to flip out on Company Store. If I search "down body pillow" what part of your AI brain thinks I want down-free? I clicked on the correct link out of Google originally, but after shopping around awhile, tried to find it again by using the search function on their website, which if you type in down body pillow, the first three options are down-free, as you can see...
I cried today because I was trying to come up with Babylon plans and hubby just kept nagging about the money of it. I just cried and told him it was important to me. And I didn’t feel like he understood why I wanted to go so badly. This is it. Our last chance to vacation just us. And our really only chance to take a vacation this year. Travel is so important to me and he’s just nagging about, “as long as we can pay cash for it.” I get it. Shut up.
Then... I found an amazing deal on Hawaii for April. I was floored at how cheap it is going to be. So that is now our plan!
Not a big deal, but my boobs are very sore and I'm getting overwhelmed by all the things we have to buy still. Spent most of the day comparing car seats, strollers, and cribs. Also still waiting 5 more days till finding out the sex. Excited for baby, but feeling nervous and not ready.
@expectinginseattle I second the overwhelming thoughts regarding the stuff. I'm still feeling that way and had a minor panic attack when I realized yesterday that I have to buy a chair for the nursery. So. Much. Stuff.
I've been *thisclose* to uglycrying for the last 24 hours since my anatomy scan. I'm just so happy and so overwhelmed at the same time. DH and I went shopping last night to pick out an outfit for our gender reveal to MIL and I almost had a meltdown in the baby girls' section. MIL is going to be so happy knowing her first grandchild is a granddaughter. Baby girl was acting half like me (dancing around like crazy) and half like DH (hiding from the camera) during my anatomy scan. I keep picturing what she might look like and how she'll take after us. I keep thinking of all the possibilities--future golfer like DH? Third-generation Girl Scout like me and my mom? Something totally different? But that's years down the line--we'll meet baby for the first time in, omg, 20 weeks. We still have a registry to finish, a diaper stockpile to buy, a nursery to renovate, etc. But I keep envisioning myself giving birth to her and telling the doctors don't even cut the cord, just give her to me. I see why moms cry over everything now. It's so much to take in, especially as a first-timer. But knowing me, my big meltdown is going to happen over a dropped scoop of ice cream or something.
DH brought me home an EPIC head cold/URI from work (Children’s hospital, so it was pretty inevitable to happen at least once over this pregnancy), and between the cold and the pregnancy sleeping rules and hormones, I was wide awake at 4:30 this morning cuz I just couldn’t get comfortable and stay asleep and ended up crying for like 20 minutes. Big, ugly, wet, heaving crying mixed in with coughing and trying to breathe.
I don't know about ya'll but for some reason in the past 2 weeks, everyone I work with or lives at the community I work at has decided to let me know how BIG I am and how I am only going to get bigger... One of my senior residents told me I needed to slow down!!!! I love my belly, I have no shame and I actually have never been more comfortable or confident that I am right now... BUT hearing how big you are 3 times a day over and over again has really started to set in and I am losing in on people that are telling me now. Is anyone else being told these things or am I just around a bunch of rude people? If one more person ask me "are you sure youre not having twins" I'm going to freak out
@mom2b77373 I've gotten it a few times, but not daily. I find it all depends on who its coming from and how they say it. My MIL said it with a lot of surprise after I was only gone for 5 days, and it made me super self-conscious as I wasn't really watching what I ate on vacay. But then my work bestie the next day say I was getting bigger and was so excited about the bump and the baby, it made me feel special. Getting told to slow down would definitely put me in an ugh mood.
19 weeks and this week I've cried about everything. And unexpectedly. It totally caught me off guard 😂 I was on the phone about a medical bill (ugh) and kept getting the run around. I just burst out in tears. The lady on the phone was funny...told me to get a cup of coffee. I had to laugh because she didn't know what to do. Anyone else feeling sad one second and fine the next? 🤣
@foodislove, I take most of it with a grain of salt because I work in a retirement community. And I don’t believe woman back in the 50’s really gained as much as we do now... plus they are elderly so no filter. But hearing so much for sure beats me down. I know I’m right where I need to be and feel so good about my body when I get home but nobody wants to hear those things. Especially because I really focus on what I eat and walk 3-5 miles a day at work. Oh well... my baby is growing, kicking, and healthy and that is all that matters 😊😊😊
@mom2b77373 I used to get pestered by the hen house of ladies at work about when was I getting married and that I better have a baby soon because I was in my 30s.
I got to the point that if somebody even made a happy comment about, it really pissed me off and ruined my mood.
Therapist said you really can’t stop people from saying things to you...Pretend you’re wearing a mental sweater that doesn’t let the comments get under your skin. I remember the mental sweater from time to time, but I probably also have given a glare at people too. I guess remember that each person isn’t aware of the stockpile of comments they are adding to- they’re just making conversation, they think!
today I cried because The Bump app told me my baby’s fist is the size of a gummy bear. Thinking about her chubby little baby fists had me all like 😭😭😭😭😭
I don't think I've cried this much in a while. It has been a rough week. Yesterday's crying was because my husband and I got into it about his aunt again. She is majorly bi-polar and I do not want to have anything to do with her and I don't want her around my daughter. She once faked her own death (including having her husband saying she had died) to guilt her sons into talking to her. It was disgusting. Then I just kept crying all day. I miss my family and their lack of crazy.
I’ve uhly cried at the randomest things but today I started crying for the Maryland basketball team. They were so close to upsetting LSU and just heart broken. They are so young for all that pressure!
I was standing on the side of our road trying to decide whether I could take my 2wd car or whether DH needed to ride together in the 4wd. I just couldn't figure it out and started crying.
Watched a Christmas episode of Bob's Burgers and got to a musical number and lost it Kept thinking about how much I love giving gifts and seeing Christmas lights. Total mess.😂
While watching my team for March Madness last night, I cried because a guy on the opposing team fouled out. He's a HUGE dude and probably can't help it most of the time. But the camera cut to his face after it happened and you could just tell he was so disappointed in himself and I got very upset. Luckily my team won so my spirits picked up
I had a little crying fit today because I’m just so overwhelmed. There’s so much going on and so much to worry about. Sometimes it really gets to be too much and there's nothing to do but cry about it.
@mamahmh2 me too!!!! This week has got me crying over everything! My husband thinks I am crazy lol. But between work, housework, and mentally preparing for baby it’s so overwhelming and I cry over everything. Not just crying but irritable as well. I went off on my assistant yesterday then felt so bad I cried
@mamahmh2@mom2b77373 I'm in your club this week. My stress level has been through the roof and it's coming from all sides. I just can't seem to get reprieve. I go from being angry with DH to crying to passed out every night after work. Poor DH has no clue what's going on or what to expect.
@cindler same! My poor hubby just kinda looks at me and can’t help but laugh at me for crying over everything. I feel so bad for him. Right now I’m just really looking forward to my mom coming to visit next week and just 6 more days of work... then it’s time to distress. @mamahmh2 you’re so right! It’s great knowing you’re not alone. That is why I love this app and the support all you ladies share

I'd still like my team to win, but I'd really prefer everyone else tie for 2nd so they all feel good!
