Total PG meltdown

I am just unbelievable yesterday and today. Last night we got home late, I was starving so DH wanted me to call in a dinner order. It felt like the most impossible task on earth trying to decide what to eat, so I start crying. Then this morning I go out to run an errand, and when I get back he's entirely rearranged our eat-in kitchen. We're getting a new fridge next weekend, so he was trying to prepare. I totally couldn't handle it and I have meltdown number 2. Then he gets frustrated when I tell him he's being mean, so he walks off in a huff muttering something about "pregnancy hormones." I want to be upset at him, but at the same time I feel crazy! Please tell me I'm not alone!

  • The littlest things set me off crying.  Go get a hug and make up.  :o)

  • It's okay - I start crying at anything these days.  I'm exhausted and trying to take care of the house by myself since hubby is deployed is just killing me.  I"m just miserable and I cry at the news, I cry over the guys leaving toilet seats up in the women's room at work (seriously... I did), and I cried when my black lab brought me a dead mouse while I was doing laundry this morning.  Eh, it'll get better... I hope!

    But you're not nuts, I promise!!! ***hugs!***

  • I'm more likely to get angry than to cry, but I understand how you feel, totally.  I know it's my hormones being out of control.

    My husband refuses to help me set up the highchair we bought and I want to put it together now to make sure nothing's broken (esp since he dropped it down the stairs while bringing it in from the car).  He tells me that I'm insane and he "refuses to enable my behavior." 

    I'm pondering murder.  Or at least a serious maiming.

  • You are not alone. I started crying last night because I couldn't fall asleep right away..

    This was my first thought, especially when he said "what is wrong with you?" in such a way that it was obvious that I was completely irrational.

    He came to apologize and be nice about 10 minutes later, but then he wanted me to apologize...I feel like I can't control this, so I did my best Wink

    Pondering?  Oh, if I were you, it probably would have happened!   

  • I've been told by my DH that I'm "much better" with this pregnancy than the last one.  When I asked how so, his response was that I'm not mean!  I think I was in hormone overdrive with DS.  Oh well, it doesn't last forever.
