Scrolling thru Pinterest and see “49 birth photos that will...honestly I was crying and can’t remember the title” and I made the mistake of looking at the pin. I’ve given birth, I know what happens, why did I even look? Bc I’m a moron. Once I got to the moms clutching their brand new baby and the dad holding back tears I absolutely lost it. I cried for a good 20 minutes. I’m out of control.
DS was acting up all morning not listening to anything I would tell him to do. While I was trying to get him to chill out I randomly said "I really want ice cream right now." He stops fighting me and as sweet as can be "Mommy I get you ice cream cone, we need ice cream cone." I start laughing because of course a 3 year old will hear the word ice cream and behave then I start crying because he was being so sweet about it.
SIL texted to tell DH she’s taking her kids to Disneyland in September and I got jealous! I listened to some sad music and sang along with some stuff that usually triggers me to cry to release some tears. Dude, pregnancy makes your crazy!! If I had an audition for crying on cue right now, I would nail it!
I watched Sarah's Day birth Vlog yesterday and it sent me into a full bawling fit...holy cow. I'm so anxious about labor and watching that video made it so real!!! Its all worth it tho.
Another pregnant sob story- I have a new yoga client who wants in-home training from me and DH for a couple of months. I have known this client for a long time, since I was a teenager, and about two years ago, his wife was tragically killed in a car accident (he was also in the car with his granddaughter at the time). He’s reaching out to me to help him with yoga and wellness coaching, and the thought of bringing some help and peace to this man just makes my heart bubble up with emotions. He’s such a good person, and his wife was an absolutely beautiful soul. I hope we can bring him some peace and wellbeing.❤️
Oh, my god, I can’t stop lately! This morning, we found out a coworker who left his job due to misdiagnosed cancer passed away in his home last night, in the company of his wife and two daughters (younger girls, one in high school, one just entering 9th grade this year). He was misdiagnosed for more than 10 years by Kaiser as having diverticulitis, when he in fact had colon cancer. By the time it was actually diagnosed about four months ago, it was stage 4, and he decided it was too far gone to waste his last bit of life trying to fight it.
As if this part wasn’t sad enough, when I woke up this morning, I saw my husband laying on our bed hugging our 8 year old daughter in this wonderful, protective dad hug, and I just couldn’t stop myself from crying, thinking how my friend will never hug his two beautiful girls again. Ever feel like life is trying to get you to stop wasting time and just live for the moment??? ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ RIP Brad ❤️❤️❤️
The parents of the toddler who died on the cruise ship were on The Today Show this morning. I had to turn it off. My heart goes out to her family and those who witnessed the accident.
1) I couldn't reset the garbage disposal without my husband's help and he was out of town. 2) I heard an old favorite song and I cried because music is so beautiful.
I cried because my in-laws massive mountain dog jumped up onto me when we got to their house. I warned my husband to watch out for her bc she is still a puppy but she is 90lbs now and sometimes gets too excited, but it still really scared me. What if it punched my abdomen area with one of its massive paws?! I started freaking out because when it happened, nobody even saw, and I was so pissed, my FIL was like “it’s a dog, what do u expect!” I wanted to be like I don’t give a shit!!!! Any other dog I’ve been around hasn’t MAULED me. I went upstairs and cried (I think I was exhausted too, but still it made me so nervous and even irritated that was his response). My mom would’ve slapped her dog if it did that to me while preg.
1 We pulled both of my 6yo front teeth this weekend and I am so sad because he looks so grown and not a baby and WAHHHHH pic in spoiler
2. Also, because I feel like I miss out on so much because of work and I am so sad about it, then looking at bills and how much we spend and debt, I dont think it would ever be possible to take a step back, at least not in the next 5 years. I dont want to SAH when my babies are in school every day. I want to spend my afternoons with them and help with homework and cook good meals and not always feel so freaking stressed out.
@ktmaesim Every time I walk in my OWN home I’m hyper vigilant about my 100lb dogs. I’m so paranoid one of them will knock me down or harm the baby. DH has yelled at me for laying on the couch with them several times. You can’t be too safe!
@klmcguire Cutie! Wait until the grow back in. The top two took several months for DS but his grown up teeth changed his little face so much!
I cried this weekend bc DS climbed onto his high chair and fell and he started crying. Most of his falls are him just tripping while running around and it doesn’t even bother him but this one he bumped his head and I know it scared him and hurt.
I am crying tears of joy because it it 74 and cloudy in Baltimore and I have on pants and long sleeves and it feels like HEAVEN. And it’s like 8.5 weeks until FALL! AKA the best season EVER.
Sunny and 74 with a breeze in KY 😎 @anniemarie887 I literally just told dh I’m so ready for fall- pumpkin patches, jeans, changing leaves. Definitely the best time of year!
@anniemarie887 & @k_mama91 YESSS. It is 78 here and I want to go sit outside for the remainder of the day! HEAVEN and gah I am so ready for fall. Bring on the Pumpkin Spice, College Football and Halloween Decorations!
Cried because one of my friends went on my registry and purchased The Velveteen Rabbit for us. It just came in today, and I just read it for the first time since I was a child. I had nearly forgotten how it ended. Major tears over here. Such a touching, sweet story.
I BAWLED my eyes out watching the new Queer Eye episodes especially the one featuring the 60ish year old man who runs the Croatian club...ugh when he talked about his dog I just could not take it! Also if anyone watches, we should talk about Antoni's questionable recipes....
@bookworm492 I loved him in season 1, because he's adorable, and now he just annoys the crap out of me!!! He literally made FISHSTICKS on one episode! hahaha
Almost in tears this morning...found out my MIL RSVPed "yes" to my shower. She was only a courtesy invite, both DH and I didn't think she would actually come since she's out of state, and since DH told her he would be out of town and not around for the shower that weekend. But she's coming. Long story short, she's a difficult, narcissistic woman who has made snide comments about our relationship, and yes, even our unborn child. I'm having flashbacks to our wedding weekend, when she behaved terribly--that was 2 years ago and the last time I saw her, and I'm not looking forward to a repeat performance. She's already started making little critical comments regarding the shower, and I'm angry. At least my parents and sister will be there to help, but yeah, I can feel my anxiety rising. Hoping she backs out last minute--she's done it before, and I'm praying she does this time. I just don't want to deal with her. She tries to make everything about her, and I'm just not in a place where I can handle it, nor do I think I SHOULD have to handle it.
@rjgmcmanus That's a legitimate reason for crying!! I'm so sorry your MIL is such a terribly unpleasant (downright mean?) woman. I hope she backs out! Your shower should be fun!!
I cried yesterday while driving home because "Don't You Want Me" by The Human League came on. I don't even particularly like that song, lol.
@ninrms Yes, that is an accurate description. I could write a book about her shenanigans and rudeness. She's just a terribly unhappy woman, and needs to be superior to everyone around her and take them down with her. Praying to God she changes her mind and stays where she is.
Also, I would LOVE to be crying for your reason right now, lol.
@rjgmcmanus - It could be the perfect opportunity for you to completely go off on her in front of everyone with every nasty thing you've ever wanted to tell her. Then you could just be like "ops my bad! Pregnancy hormones made do it." 😈
But perhaps that is a tad immature of me to suggest. Just saying, it's still an option 😉
@mrszoobear Oh, believe me, the thought has already crossed my mind. I already told DH that I cannot be held responsible for anything that comes out of my mouth if she starts acting up at the shower.
@rjgmcmanus I was just dealing with something similar yesterday- my own mother (who is a whole other set of problems) suggested a baby shower for us (I have an 8 year old and don’t really want an official shower for baby # 2) and all I could think of was how the people nearby me that I could invite aren’t really my friends, most of our real friends are hours or even states away now. Also, I had to think about inviting my SIL, whom I have a really uncomfortable relationship with, just out of obligation. Luckily for me, I suggested that since I’m a STM, maybe we can set up a gofundme-style gift request for this baby, like a diaper and supplies fund. My mom started to like that idea. I might still have to see some people, but again, I have no control over what I say to them during this pregnancy. They will experience my pregnant wrath if they trigger it!! I hope everything goes well for you ❤️❤️❤️
I cried to myself yesterday as my mom (for like the fifth time) let out a big frustrated sigh over the fact that we’re naming our second daughter Elliot (“Ellie” for short). I wanted to have a moment to tell her, “I know you can’t stand the name right now, but I hope that when you meet Ellie in person, you’ll love her and her name.” I couldn’t find a moment to say it in private, though, so I just held it inside. So disappointing 😥

DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT, watch the mr Roger's trailer with Tom Hanks if you don't want to sob uncontrollably.
Hahaha!!!
