Reasons I've cried

LokiLahve · August 2013

The first 2 days PP weren't that bad and I thought I was going to escape the emotional roller coaster everyone talks about...well I was wrong. I'm crying at the drop of a dime now.

1. Listened to a country song: It Won't Be Like This for Long....complete ugly face cried while nursing LO and not wanting her to grow up.

2. Laying in bed last night, just randomly started balling. DH asks what's wrong....I don't know, I'm crazy!

3. Walmart didn't have pumpkin spice creamer....crying while finishing my shopping even though I know it's too early to find pumpkin creamer.

What are you crying about?

Mamusia2be · August 2013

That LO is still not here!!! I want to donkey punch anyone who asks me why he isn't here yet!!!

Oh I feel you on that. My neighbor drove me NUTS before LO came. Every. Day. "Is the baby here yet?" In an annoying high pitched old lady voice. It got to the point I pretended to be on my phone from the car to the front door so I didn't have to talk to her.

mommabmb · August 2013

I cried every day this week. Why? I have no clue.

MinnesotaMomma91 · August 2013

Im crying about everything too. I ugly face cried last night because it hurts so bad when ds latches onto my bad boob

pb&jojo · August 2013

Love this thread! My emotions went blazers around 5 days pp....they have settled a bit, but I still cry every other day or so. 1. I cry when my husband says the word cry. I.e. "are you about to cry?" 2. Sappy songs 3. Thinking about sleep and how glorious is USED to be 4. Evenings are usually when the waterworks start..usually while we are sitting at the table trying to eat dinner.

jbbolton · August 2013

I cried at Darius Ruckers song too. I love it. I've also cry every night for being over tired and still in pain. When my husband comes home late from practice (he coaches college soccer) I cry the minute I see him because I missed him so bad.

LokiLahve · August 2013

@pb&jojo I was 5 days pp yesterday and that's when it hit me as well. I had a glass of wine after a feeding to relax a bit and the tears started flowing about 30 minutes later.

lydsyjane · August 2013

Here are a few of the reasons I've cried:

1) Our car ran out of gas the other day and we were stuck on the side of the road. I bawled for close to an hour, hysterically.

2) I just look at my baby and am overcome with love for her. Cue the crying.

3) Huggies commercial when the couple finds out they're pregnant.

4) Last night when LO would NOT settle down. I cried my eyes out while holding her and told DH, "I don't know what she wants! I can't do this!"

I could go on and on...

nnikki10 · August 2013

I cried at a dog food commercial !! Yea DH looked at me like I was crazy. I was just like "I just love our dogs so much!!"

AmeliaKris · August 2013

I cry every other day because I feel like I could do better at the whole mommy thing only to realize I'm doing the best I can. Half the time I don't know why I'm crying. Wednesday I cried for 3 hours..yesterday I had the best day ever with Quinnlyn. Its so random.

kmichln · August 2013

Oh lord me too!

I cried because I'm sad I have to share LO now since I'm no longer pregnant.

Because I'm so happy to have this new little guy.

Because even though I'm happy I'm sad thinking about the two children I lost and how I'll never know them like this.

Because dh let mil baby sit LO at 5 days old while I was at school for something I could have done for him or he could have waited fOr then she called me to rub it in.

And now I'm crying again. Wtf is wrong with me?!

WildRumpus · August 2013

1. Pretty much any song if I can somehow relate it to LO

2. My freaking back started spasming last night while trying to swaddle LO. I had to lay down on the floor it hurt so badly.

3. Him being a week old and seeing how much he's changed already

girlmama83 · August 2013

I cried when DB went back to work. When I leaked all over our sheets. When I saw my stretch marks after giving birth.

Mine's been spasming too. I feel like I'm in labor all over again.

WildRumpus · August 2013

@lydsyjane Exactly. Back labor was no joke. That's why I ended up getting my epi; he would NOT turn

NewQueen · August 2013

Personally, I think the pumpkin spice creamer is a legitimate thing to cry about...

I amazingly had no tears yesterday but the day before I burst into tears because my cat wanted to play and was meowing for attention incessantly. He was driving me nuts. I couldn't take it. LO not being here yet has my emotions all in a twist.

lyndz333 · August 2013

Awwww I think I'm over the hump of crying but in my most awful I cried over Americas Got Talent. So stupid. I wanted to let you ladies know that it does get better and the water works will stop! Stupid hormones just gotta work themselves normal!

ELauren88 · August 2013

I cry everytime LO cries, because I feel like it's literally breaking my heart.

I cry when she wakes up in the motn and I can't sooth her.

I cry when I think I'm not doing good enough.

I cry when certain songs come on the radio.

I cry when my mom asks me if I'm ok.

I cry if LO won't nap.

I cry when MH and I talk about parenting decisions.

This list could go on and on.

What are you crying about?

I've never heard that song so I looked up the lyrics and oh man the tears.

JHarris8166 · August 2013

Songs!
The baby had gas yesterday and I felt terrible. He wouldn't let me out him down without crying. I almost ugly cried in BRU.
I cried while holding our Dr Browns bottle set my parents bought for us.
When baby cries I have to really try not to cry.

Still an inside baby...but I almost started crying yesterday to Amers Got Talent. And the day before to Mastrr Chef! I laughed a lot reading these posts but then at the same time got super tearyeyed a bunch too. Im all over thr place!! Eek!! I also ugly cried the other day like a whiney toddler cuz im tired and grumpy. Lol acid reflux at night is apparently training me for the baby! And im totally failing! !

BlondieBia21 · August 2013

@stephw32- I actually got upset bc of pumpkin creamer last night, too. Why the hell do they have peppermint mocha out already damn it?! It is fall, not Christmas time!!

Totally bawled at this commercial during motn feed-

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Gza-yfENn_4&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DGza-yfENn_4

And pretty much any song that I can somehow relate to baby. I also ugly cry when Fi leaves for work sometimes because I get so nervous about his drive and the traffic. One of my close friends fi died in a car accident in Dec. when she was about 20 weeks pregnant, and seeing her new reality with having LO and not his dad, breaks my heart and scares the hell out of me that something similar is going to happen. Yep, here comes the ugly cry.

afrochick09 · August 2013

Lo has consistently fallen asleep around 9. Usually MH and I just stay up until 12, feed her, and then she's out for a couple hours so we head to bed. There was one night where we wanted to try and go to bed at her 9 pm zonk out. Apparently she wasn't wanting that. Ended up fighting just to calm her from 9 til 12 anyway. I bawled most of the time in between, frustrated that we hadn't just let her sleep on her own.

TurtleMomma · August 2013

I can't cry. I want to, but I can't. Best I can manage is to get my eyes to water a little.

That damn Carters commercial makes me cry every time it's on. Mostly because I'm pretty sure I'm never going to have this baby and so I'll never get to experience all of that.

I cried yesterday because DH had to go to work. And then I ugly cried when he told me he was taking the day off.

I cried on Tuesday when my midwife told me I was only 1cm dilated. I'm pretty sure she now thinks I'm crazy.

I'm ready to start crying because my baby is so cute, instead of crying because I'm pretty sure I'll never see what she looks like.

Oh yeah tell me about it. I was balling...almost hyperventilating....but they were happy tears...kinda.

Leahks77 · August 2013

I thought I was finally leveling out... Then LO fit into a 3 month sleeper. And had gained over 2 lbs. Cue ugly cry. Also that Carter's commercial, the iPhone commercial where they are face timing and the girl shows her friend (mom?) her pregnant belly... And the State Farm one with the little boy who said he lost his hair.... I have been caught crying in the living room sooooo many times. Oh, and singing to LO. That always gets the tears flowing. Haha, I'm a mess somedays still I guess...

pb&jojo · August 2013

i just cried when my husband came in from mowing the law and the baby is playing contently on the floor and he says, "so this is what you do all day, must be nice?". i lost it.

kkay1982 · August 2013

My DH bought me flowers. He doesn't do gifts and this pushed me over the edge because it was completely out of the blue.

My mom sent me a card with a cookie on it and the definition of being a tough cookie. Then filled the whole card with reasons I am and will be a good mom.

I am mainlining Grey's Anatomy while BFing. I think I cry at every episode.

Writing this and thinking about why I have cried is making me cry...

MtB2013 · August 2013

I cry for everything. A fly flies by and I'll Burst into tears

cnthrdlywt2bwZ · August 2013

I cried the day we came home from the hospital and we were with both of our daughters. Just listening to husband and my toddler be so wonderful together just about made my heart explode. I couldn't handle the extent of that happiness.
When I think or speak of it now I get so emotional.
There was only one point in the middle of the night lacking in sleep where I felt an inkling to cry over no sleep.

Missuskeekers · August 2013

I cried before my in laws came to visit out of exhaustion and dread.

shootthemoon · August 2013

Yesterday I cried for two reasons:

1 - cried for an hour because I woke up still pregnant and was just super uncomfortable

2 - cried at a game-winning touchdown in an episode of Friday Night Lights. That I've already seen and knew how it would end.

Alicia1111 · August 2013

Our state fair is this weekend and my DH and I wait all year to get a fair scone, like its unhealthy how much I look forward to them. My DH is trying to get in shape, and he told me we couldn't go get scones...I broke out in the fully ugly I can't breath or talk cry... Once I got myself back together he started laughing and said "I'm just kidding we wouldn't miss out on scones".... Then I cried all over again!

coraggiosa · August 2013

I went to Target the other day with my mom and ended up in tears because I couldn't find any clothes that covered up my PP belly. This morning she dropped off some flowy type shirts that she got from Ann Taylor - I totally broke down in tears. I love my mom.

krb03 · August 2013

I cried when I first got home from the hospital because it was SportsCenter's "My Wish" episodes. I also cried when I realized I gave DS a double-dose of his allergy meds one morning. I was a mess, even though he was fine. It has calmed down since the first week home, but definitely hormonal adjustments!

atoz625 · August 2013

I found 3 trays of meat in the fridge yesterday that I forgot to freeze before we left for the hospital last Friday. DH could only laugh, but I was so mad to realize I wasted the meat!

tarapike86 · August 2013

@stephw32. I totally cry at that song too

TurleyAug25 · August 2013

I am overdue and have cried listening to the National Anthem at a baseball game. I also cried when I forgot to buy canned soup that was on sale

lol I guess i am a little emotional lol

karenaguilar0471 · August 2013

This is my 4th and I expected it to go almost the same, accept naturally, no induction. I was a little worried about pushing but I didn't expect it to hurt so much, it was worse than the labor pain. My hips and huha hurt every time I pushed. I got abrasions and tore where I had an epi with my 1st and the small tear from my 3rd, also the scar from a botched epi with my 2nd was close to opening up. The midwife said it was a tiny tear that didn't need stitches but once I had healed enough that I wasn't in pain every time I went to the bathroom I got a mirror and had a look at the damage and cried, that woman was wrong, I should've had 4-6 stitches down there. My cosita isall messed up and ugly. I'm only 1 week 2 days PP and the last three days since I saw myself I cry every time I think about it. The only good thing that came out of this is my sweet, adorable, cute little baby boy Augustin Andreas Aguilar, my baby and blessing, he keeps me going, my other children are 24 (boy), 20 (girl) and 14 (boy) and don't really need me any more but my baby can't feed or clean or burp or hug and kiss himself, he needs me as much as I need him. Maybe as time goes by the horrible scars will fade and it won't look so bad, I'm also worried about the 1st time my hubby and I have relations after I heal inside, will it be painful, I never had this problem before, he's counting the days until we can.....again, I'm going to have to say something before, maybe if he can control himself and go real slow it'll be OK. I'll probably cry a few times until I know I'm OK, and things can get back to normal.
