@cpk3535 I love that idea for a STM, and will be stealing that myself for the second child. Brilliant. Also, so sorry your mom was so rude about your name. I think it's ADORABLE! She definitely needs to get over it. And I'm sure when baby is born, she will forget all about it.
Jane the Virgin finale (and the cast interviews about the show)
Though to be fair I probably would be even if I wasn't pregnant. It just feels a little full circle because I originally started watching it because I was pregnant with my first.
Yesterday: My husband forwarded me an e-mail from his boss that was acknowledging the teams hard work and extra hours they've been putting in (they're all salary) and reminding them that this shouldn't be the norm once they hire another person and get back to being fully staffed. His boss also said he thanks the families of the team too for putting up with it and that family time is important. I replied back to my husband saying thanks, DJ made me cry!
Today: I was super cranky this morning and when I got to work I realized I brought my tea that I keep at work home after the entire way in I was telling myself the tea would cheer me up. tears.
@CapricaAndrea I also watch and love Jane the Virgin. So sad it’s over, my two younger sisters are adopted from Guatemala and it’s been amazing for them to see people who look like them on tv.
My mom surprised me with a visit on Wednesday and took care of me all week. She had to go home to Tennessee (9 hours away) this morning. So I've been a blubbering mess all morning.
We watched our first grown up movie in a long time (STM, we don’t do much w/ DD very often) and saw “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood”. DH and I lived down in So Cal for about 6 years before returning to Northern California to have DD, and we miss living there everyday. The movie wasn’t sad (maybe a little at points), but I always get down thinking about how badly we want to sell out of the Bay Area and move back down there. Making matters worse, our daughter really wants to move there now, too. Anyway, I had a good, pregnancy depression cry yesterday. Sometimes things just don’t come fast enough...le sigh 😔
It’s me again... cried watching the episode of Parks and Recreation where Ann and Chris leave town to go to have a baby and live in Michigan. They play Tom Petty’s “Wildflowers” in the background. I think I was crying because all of these friends are parting ways, plus thinking about Tom Petty dying. I’m ridiculous right now!
Angry cry. Last night I made a roast in the crockpot for dinner. I like my potatoes cooked with the roast but opted for mashed so I could use them and the leftover roast for open face sandwiches tonight. The roast was 3 lbs, intentionally large so we’d have leftovers. I just noticed dh took the container full of meat for lunch 😣 his lunch is on the top shelf, in his lunch container, which I showed him last night!!! I’m so mad. Id be irritated regardless but I’m irrationally upset about this.
OMG these emotions. yesterday I was eating a delicious burrito and looked down at my sweet dog who was watching me eat it and suddenly felt so bad for her only ever eating dog food... and started crying. then i gave her some chicken from the burrito.
also the ending of Sleepless in Seattle was on TV last night. 😭
Yesterday, I had to go into work to meet a customer in the morning at my secondary shop, and I was immediately angry with how many employees were in there just f-ing around. Plus, for some reason, I just really didn’t want to be there- my morning timeline was just messed up. I sat at a computer and did some of my work, holding back tears of frustration/anger/depression/whatever. DH was with me, and the emotional wave eventually passed. Ugh...
I love Ted talks but don't go down that road! Its addictive and if you are prone to being extra emotional when pregnant you will just keep watching more videos and crying. Or at least that's how I spent my morning.
I made the mistake of looking at pictures of myself on Facebook from 7 years ago, and how much fun I was having and how FREE I felt and thinner and pain-free compared to my now pregnant body. And I'm basically sitting here going, "Oh, God, am I ever going to get to that point again?" And BOOM. Tears.
We went to a zoo while on vacation, and in the gift shop we were looking at kid/baby books. I was looking at a book of baby animals, and it was SO absolutely cute, and I started crying because I couldn't handle how adorable they are. (Like, mascara-running-down-my-face crying.)
Then, hubby and I were watching the first episode of "Our Planet" on Netflix last night, and the first couple segments were about BABY ANIMALS DYING, and I started crying again. DH (who is a wildlife biologist) kept trying to reassure me that they'd be food for other animals' babies, but I got mad and insisted I couldn't handle watching baby animals die while I'm pregnant.
Lord, twice in a day...so, if you've seen some of my other posts on other threads, you probably know I've had chronic back pain since a car accident in 2016. I've been going to physical therapy since early in the year to help with that (long story short: my old primary care doc didn't think my back pain was bad enough to warrant physical therapy. After 2.5 years of her telling me that, and still having pain, I dumped her, got a new doc who got me a PT referral right away.). Anyway, I've been going since March, and I'm not going to lie, I've felt like I've plateaued with them. I've voiced how I'm feeling, but they haven't changed up the exercises, and one of the therapists there even had the audacity to say, "Well, you're pregnant." So being pregnant means I don't get to feel better? No. Not okay. I'm not fine with a PT telling me that and using that as an excuse for them to not try to help me.
Anyway. My husband is active duty, and he's suffered chronic hip pain (yes, we're both a mess) for about two years. He started going to a PT on base, who has worked absolute WONDERS for him. He and I were talking, and decided I should go see her. So I called my PCP and asked for the referral transfer, and they said they'd do it...
...only for them to call me back and tell me that the base PT told them they no longer see dependents and spouses, just active duty.
So now I'm without a PT and trying to figure this whole thing out. And that's why I'm crying right now. I feel like I've been wasting time and money on the one PT, and now I have to figure out a whole new PT when I thought I already had it figured out. And I'm still in pain.
I teared up a bit because my large pregnant ass accidentally almost sat on my tiny chihuahua. She's fine; I didnt actually put all of my weight on her, but I felt bad for her and then also a little sad about being so large.
My MIL is visiting for the week, and she surprised us with a beautiful homemade quilt for the baby. She included a tag that says, “made with love by grandma.” 😭
Because I ordered a burrito through Doordash and was pretty excited about it, but when I opened the bag I realized that I was given the wrong order and it was someone's IHOP food instead. And that IHOP was recently closed for health code violations, so it wasn't appetizing at all. And my husband's away so I couldn't even send him out for food. First world problems, I know...but my baby and I really wanted that burrito, so tears were shed.
I cried and couldn’t even tell DH about looking at pictures of DD when she was younger. It almost breaks my heart to think I’ll have to give my love to another baby- she’s the only one I’ve ever known!
It's 9:40 and I'm already on round 3 of tears this morning. Our daughter is 4 today! I cried when I woke her up, I cried when her God parents sent the sweetest video ever wishing her a happy birthday and now I'm crying looking at photos of her throughout the years. How many more times am I going to cry today over this?
I was asking DS what he wanted for lunch so I picked up a container with leftover fish and asked if he wanted it before I ate it to which he replied "There no fish momma, Tuff (our dog) ate it all when I feeded him" Y'all I started crying so hard because I really wanted that fish for lunch. He keeps saying "momma I sorry, I love you" I know it's stupid but I'm upset.
We need to sign a disclosure that we are not allowed to link tear inducing media here. @rjgmcmanus Thanks 😭 one of the lyrics made me think this song was for his son who was diagnosed with liver cancer really young. That made me cry even more.
@k_mama91 Yeah, I thought that too. And then I watched it again and cried just as hard as the first time. My other thought was, "Oooh, this is the song I want to dance with my son to during the mother-son dance at his wedding." And in that moment it hit me that I'M A MOM and someday this little being inside me will grow up and have a whole life of his own, and I just started sobbing uncontrollably.
Crying because I'm trying to get dressed to head into my classroom and I'm convinced my hair looks like lego hair. Like, a helmet of hair that's just been put on my head.
