How do you snap out of harmonal fits?

I'm in such a bad mood today.  First of all, I've been totally disappointed that we won't be able to go on a babymoon weekend because of DH's crazy work schedule and our need to finish things around the house.  I feel like in the past few weeks there's been no time for "us" because of all the crap we've had to do with his family, with the house, with his job schedule, prenatal classes, etc. etc.  Then this morning we were discussing where to go out to eat tonight, and I really wanted to go to this place that we haven't been to since we first started dating.  Maybe somewhere that would require something dressier than jeans?  Romance... maybe???  However, DH does not want to go because he doesn't want to drive that far (it's like 40 min away) so he kinda vetoed that idea.  Then my dog got into the dirty laundry AGAIN and ate yet another pair of my underwear.  I'm feeling totally pissy and sorry for myself even though I'm probably just being a spoiled brat.  I need to get used to the fact that things aren't about "me" anymore.  We're having a baby for !@#$%'s sake. 

Any suggestions for getting out of this rut?  I'm crying like a baby and I totally need to get over it.

I don't... lol. They usually last a few minutes and then I'm normal again. Or I just tell myself over and over that it's just the hormones. Or I just cry until I can't anymore.. It really depends on what's going on I guess.

I went for a long walk with the dog.. I think I'm over it... time will tell when my DH gets home.

I usually just try to not talk much. The other night I was in a crappy mood and straight up told DH that if he wanted to go to bed already that was fine because I was feeling irritable and wasn't sure why.

Usually for me it doesn't last long. I just try to consider how lucky I am for still having my healthy baby living inside me and that is all that matters. It really does help. Not only going off my complications but after seeing what so many other women have gone through The other stuff is petty. I know its hard sometimes, we all have our days. This is what I try to consider when I am having a downer day though....

Music you can dance to

Or a light cardio workout.

And totally cliche but works for me. I tell myself "things could be worse." I know. Some people hate that.

Thanks for the advice.  I think I just need to get a grip... and yes, things could be worse.. I am totally blessed in so many ways.  I have a DH who I love, I am having a healthy pregnancy, and a beautiful house to raise my child in.

I must emphasize how lucky I am to have DH... he came home from work early today because he was worried about how crappy I was feeling.  He brought me roses and took me out to lunch.  Now we're going to spend the rest of the day hanging with the dog and relaxing.
