I swear that becoming a mom has made me permanently more emotional. I teared up today watching Daniel Tiger's neighborhood. He sang the Mr Rogers's song and it made me all nostalgic. I NEVER used to cry. WTH!
I cried yesterday because I stopped for someone to walk across the parking lot of Walmart and they smiled and waved. It's so common around here I have no idea why it made me cry!

Yuppers. I have been kind of under the weather so Sunday morning O and I curled up b/c H had to go to the Urgent Care (he has a Sinus Infection = () and decided to watch The Lion King. No joke I basically cried through the whole movie.

I'm more emotional when it comes to seeing babys being born on tv, reality or not. It never used to phase me before I had kids and now I just bawl my eyes out.
I also am super emotion and I hate it! I'm not a crier at all, but ANYTHING involving a kid gets me bawling! I keep putting myself in the shoes of whomever I'm watching/reading. I was reading a young adult book in my classroom yesterday and I kept tearing up in the middle of class! My students must think I'm so weird! I hate this part about being a parent!
I am definitely more emotional now, but I'm also pregant. Before I got pregnant though, I was more emotional in that I was even more opposed to watching the news or anything depressing at all. Oh, and I definitely get the choke when any kind of birth happens on TV too, like PP said!
We used to make fun of my mom because she couldn't read the Harry Potter books because of how he had to live under the stairs, but now I kind of see her point.

haha in MA you'd be all like "why is this creeper waving at me with his freakyass smile. Put you're face away before I mow you down with my vehicle."

That was me before DS. Lol. But down here everyone waves and smiles for the most part When we went on a cruise I of course took my southern hospitality with me and that's when I realized not every place is the same. I would smile and greet people and they would look at me like I ate their dog or something! Lol

I've always been a big crier, but I think I'm more sensitive to certain topics now than when I was younger.
I couldn't stop crying over the new Publix thanksgiving commercial this year because it reminded me of my late grandma. I literally teared up every time it came on. It was horrible.
And anything related to little kids is also terrible. We had an intern who was very active with Invisible Children, and at lunch on her first day, she started telling us about it and I actually started tearing up at the table. Talk about embarrassing!

This!! I never used to cry, but now that I am a parent, anything involving children just kills me.
I've always been a bit of a sap, much to my own annoyance. But it's definitely become worse.
I was about 37 weeks pregnant with B when I went to see the musical version of The Grinch with MIL and SIL. At one point, the narrator asks the audience to clap/cheer/say Merry Christmas/etc to help the Grinch's heart grow bigger and save Christmas for Whoville. There were two moms sitting the in row in front of me with little boys (probably 4 yo) in their laps and the boys were clapping so hard and yelling Merry Christmas over and over again. I teared up thinking how into the experience those little boys were and how someday I'll hopefully be able to give my little boy a similar experience.
And just to show how far gone I've become, I teared up again just writing down the dang memory.

Yep. I'm not as crazy hormonal as I used to be (obvs), but I do get emotional over things I never used to, and anything having to do with kids... well, yeah. I am a sap.
I know that becoming a mother has made me more emotional and more likely to cry. I have a really hard time watching the news these days. Anything involving children gets me.
It's also strange to watch movies I've seen before. I used to always identify with the child or daughter role, but since having J it has switched. I always put myself in the place of the parent and imagine what they are feeling and it is always more intense!
