Good or bad, have you been more emotional? When was the last time you cried and what was it over?

Re: S/O: When was the last time you cried?
I am normally a pretty emotional person. I cry during movies, tv, books, really anything. It's a family thing because all the women in my family do.
But last night I started crying (sniffles & all) during a commercial for St. Jude's.
I'm so sorry.
Last night watching Extreme Home Makeover. They were rebuilding a house for a family that has let the house go since their daughters death. She died in a one car accident due to her texting a driving. They now spend all of their free time lecturing highschools and trying to get the message about texting and driving out to the USA. I cried just about through the entire episode!
I'm already an emotional person, but pregnancy amplifies it for me. I cried yesterday, while switching back and forth between Undercover Boss and Extreme Makeover Home. Everything invokes tears these days.
Day before that, I sobbed while watching UP with my son (unfortunately one of his current faves).
I cried Friday night. I probably was being a *little* overly emotional.
We went out to dinner with another couple. My friend asked me if I was going to be induced with this baby at 40w like with DS. I said, "No. My view of birth has completely changed since then..." and I glanced over at DH who was silently mouthing something to her. I saw him, but I couldn't tell what he said. So, I said "What did you just mouth to her?" He said, "Nothing." We kept going back and forth and he kept saying he didn't mouth anything to her. I was pissed because he was lying about something so dumb.
Then, we got home and we were talking about selling our house. He said one of his employees might be interested in buying the house. I asked him if he showed him pictures of the house. He said yes. I said, "Where were the pictures?" He said, "Facebook." So I logged onto facebook and I couldn't find any pictures of our house. So I asked him where the pictures were and he said, "I don't think they're on FB." I said, "You *just* said they were on FB. Where are they then?" He said, "I didn't show him pictures of the house yet." Ummmm. You just said you showed him pictures. Why are you lying AGAIN (for the second time that night) about something dumb? I was kind of bitching at him about lying twice that night about dumb things. He just got up and went to bed and I slept on the couch. I cried that night.
WHOA! I guess I needed to vent about that!!
After 2 years, Injects, PCOS diagnosis and 2 IUI's, we were blessed with our beautiful twin girls!
Baby Girl #3!
Whoooeeee. I would be pissed as well. I left the house with DS for the first time three weeks ago, because I couldn't be near DH. My Mom left me Dad with us kids in tow a few times and I hated feeling like I was doing something so similar. I know the crying you're referring to. Ours was completely stupid too.
We'll miss you sweet Debbie Girl (4.21.12) and sweet Cindy Girl (8.9.12)
I'm definitely more emotional about some things. Today is one of those days.
Today is the last time I cried, and it's for a really embarrassing/childish reason. When I was in high school my parents bought me a beater car that I drove through most of college. When my sister got her license, my parents made me give her my car and get a new car.
Since I couldn't afford much (they did offer to pay my payments for my last year of college, but would only pay so much), I got an okay car, but it's a cheap car (I have a 2001 Dodge Neon ES and I hate it). I need one, and it's been very good. I haven't had to put any money into except for new tires, inspections, oil, etc.
Last year DH and I bought a new car (for him only -- it's a standard, and I'm not good at driving it, so I've never driven it) and gave my sister the car we replaced because she had driven her car to the ground. My parents each bought two new cars, as well. They started asking when I was going to get my new car. Well, they also just bought my sister a brand new car because she also destroyed the car we gave her a year ago. On top of that, my inlaws have each bought new cars in the last year.
I'm the only one left with a cheap car that I never wanted in the first place, and it just makes me feel left out. We can afford a new car for me, but it's not wise to spend the money on one just because I want one. My car is paid off and in good working condition. I just hate it and I feel like I'm the one who always has to settle for what works instead of getting something nice.
So that's my super childish, embarrassing reason for crying today.
ETA: Now that I've read some of the other reasons the women here have cried, I'm totally ashamed of my completely immature and selfish reason for being upset. I'm truly sorry, and I just want to give everyone here a huge hug.
Not more emotional...PG didn't really affect that for me.
Yesterday, I was cleaing the house, and I came across Luke's memory box. I looked through it and cried.

I am about as far from an emotional person as you can get normally, but have had a rough couple weeks. Two weeks ago I found the little girl I watch full time not breathing and started CPR. The paramedics were able to get her heart going again, but she passed away the next day. So I've been an emotional wreck over that the last two weeks.
On top of that my dog has been going down hill over the past year and we made the decision this weekend to call and have her put to sleep. So I just got off the phone with the vet's office from scheduling that. I'm really struggling with the decision because it feels like I'm "taking" her life, but the vets I have spoken to have said that unless we want to watch her wither away in pain she most likely won't go on her own and this is the best decision we can make for her.
Up next in my sad country song is my husband leaving me, I guess!! Thankfully DH is solid and I have no real worries about that. Seriously, though, if I'm dealt one more blow I may just crawl in bed and stay for a while!
OMG, I cry ALL THE TIME now! And I never used to cry before!
The last time was about 10 days ago, long story short, DH was telling me something about an issue he had with the insurance company, and I started BAWLING over it. Bad part...I was driving. In rush hour traffic. Not good!
Probably the silliest one I've had during pregnancy was when we went to get our Christmas tree. DH wanted to just get a pre-cut but I insisted we go to a tree farm to cut it down. We found the tree farm but DH got lost trying to find a place to park (it was a BIG farm). I started crying my eyes out because I "forced" him to go to the tree farm instead of getting a pre-cut. Oooooh so ridiculous. lol.
Yesterday - I smashed my finger and it hurt like hell. I think it was totally justified crying.
Overall I've been slightly more emotional but it's hard to gauge as I've always been a bit of a crybaby. Especially over things like TV shows and movies.

That show made me cry my whole DD pg. I've been avoiding it this go around.

Saturday (Like all day) Husband and I were arguing about things that have probly just been building for a while. We are much better now, but yeah I've been way more emothional, not just crying either, pretty moody at times
I cried yesterday morning while watching "Inside 9/11". But seriously, how do you not cry while watching that?!
Kerri - I'm sorry to hear about your friend.
Wow, the death of that little girl is absolutely tragic. Her poor family.
And I am so sorry to hear about your dog. I had to put down a very loved pet last year and it broke my heart.
Please take care of yourself (emotionally and physically) and grieve in the way you need to, for both events. {hugs}
Can I just give you a huge hug? I can't even imagine how I would deal with the above. I'm just so sorry. Have they been able to share what happened? How devastating!
I cried the other night in the middle of the night after my daughter head butted me in the lip. She wouldn't go back to sleep and I was tired. It was just a rough night and I started crying.
Mine was a "good" cry, I guess. On Saturday, I stayed with DD all day while DH went skiing. We were having a great day ... total cr@pshoot with a moody toddler ... and after her nap, we were making chocolate chip cookies while listening to my iPod in the kitchen.
That "Somewhere Over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World" song -- the Hawaiian one, you know? -- came on while DD was sitting in her chair licking a beater, as happy as she could possibly be. It was snowing outside, cozy inside, and I had one of those out-of-body experiences ... with the song as a soundtrack in the background ... where I felt like my life was *perfect* and I knew I'd remember that moment forever. And then I started to cry, because I'm a hormonal pregnant mess.
DH has a good friend who passed away 2 yrs ago in an accident. Wednesday would have been his 30th birthday. I cried. A LOT on Wednesday.
I actually cried this last Saturday. My husband has been super busy lately and I feel like he is always out doing something while I have been stuck home alone and super bored. So, I broke down and was balling to him about how I needed to get out of the house and I couldn't just sit at home any longer.
It was actually a pretty silly thing to be so upset (especially when nothing is stopping me from actually going out and doing something, lol), but I just wanted DH to take me out on a date or to go do something fun for the day.
I have been pretty emotional lately..
I'm an emotional basketcase these days, and it has gotten worse over the past week.
Bad cry: I cried this morning at my desk while I was stressing about money. I'm a worrier by nature and money stresses my out, but money problems + pregnancy hormones = lots of tears!
Good cry: I watched a youtube video from here last night of a couple finding out they were having a boy. I don't even know them, but I cried at their excited and joy.
Today during my lunch break when I found out I have gestational diabetes. I feel like I fail at being pregnant.
I have been really emotional for the past few weeks altogether!
I would say I'm a moderate cryer. I cry at some movies and tv shows, but I have been crying a lot since becoming pregnant. At one point it was almost every day, either a good or bad cry. I feel like a nut job.
My last cry was also about 5 minutes ago when I read the story of Nella, and I'm at work. The cry before that was last night when I was watching Kennedy's Home Video and the showed JFK's assassination. Yeah, I was bawling. I was also shocked to see the footage of it, even though I've seen this footage a million times. I teared up again when little John John saluted his dad.
About 5 minutes ago, my cousin and I were discussing customer files and I just started bawling out of the blue!
I'm known as the rock of the family, I never cry! My husband calls me ice queen, he says the baby is melting me.
