Tonight I bawled my eyes out over my son having more clothes than me... DH asked what was wrong, I replied "it's so much laundry." luckily it's all different sizes so I won't have to wash them all, all the time. #boohormones
Not so much a ridiculous thing to cry over, but I had my first real pregnancy cry today. I've been pretty good at not being too emotional so far, but that all went out the window tonight. I started crying because my due date is in 28 days, and I just realized I only have approximately 28 nights left where it's just me and my husband. I really love our quiet nights just hanging out watching tv and playing video games together. The fact that it's never going to be the same in 28 days terrifies me so I started bawling. He then spent the rest of the night comforting me and being super sweet. Then I started crying because he's so sweet and I love him so much. I'm still feeling kind of teary. Lots of emotions tonight.

I'm starting to feel that way too: we went to some yard sales this weekend and I just thought: only 5 more weekends left where we can really just do random things like this.

DH is definitely feeling this too. He wants to squeeze in one last Pirates game before we reach a point when I could go into labor at any moment. I'll be 36 weeks tomorrow so not too much time left! I feel this way a little bit but to be honest, I'm a huge homebody so usually I'd rather be at home than out and about anyway. But there is a concert this summer that I'd love to go to if it weren't for baby. I jokingly told DH that we should go anyway and just bring baby with us and he was horrified. It's Fall Out Boy, Wiz Khalifa, and Hoodie Allen so it's REALLY not going to be newborn-friendly lol
@karaelaine1991 Oh all the good concerts this year are in June! I've also wanted to see Weird Al (maybe this belongs in the FFFC thread lol) and it's June 6. Booo-urns!
We are big homebodies too which is why for me, going to yard sales is a "big weekend plan"! Lol.
In the same vein of doing things or not doing things because of baby - DH and I had a couple of laughs over the logistics of possibly trying to attend this event, then later I cried privately in shame that it bothered me so much... The Door County Beer Festival is June 20th. Every season in NYC for 4 years we went to the seasonal beer festivals, and once we moved here last year we went to all the local ones we heard about (which was 2). A five year tradition - done and over with.

That stinks! Guess there's always next year, right?
Last year for DH's birthday we went on a beer cruise up and down the rivers here, and he enjoyed it so much that we decided it would be his birthday present every year. Little did we know that I was 4 weeks pregnant at that point! I'm still going to get him the tickets, but this year he's going with his best friend instead of me (LO will be about 4 months old and I won't want to leave her with anyone late at night at that point). I think it's actually better this way because I'm not a huge fan of beer and I was DD last time so I didn't really get my money's worth out of the ticket - I know his friend will! But I am going to be sad to miss the hors d'oeuvres, they were fantastic last year!
Along the same concert line, FI and I got together at a Dave Matthews band concert and and we wanted to celebrate our 2nd anniversary with one. Just so happens Dave is playing at a venue 20 minutes from our house on June 14. I'm due June 12. Wah.
I cried last night when I realized that the last chill night at home pre baby for DH and me was March 22. LO is being delivered on Thursday and we couldn't even have on last sit on the couch and watch tv night. Then I realized I won't have another night where my fur babies get all my love and attention - and I cried some more. The hardest part of being in the hospital for the last 6 weeks has been missing my fur babies.

I really, really, really couldn't wait for this year's Rocklahoma concert. It's all I've been talking about for a year. Unfortunately I'll have to wait, I'll be 39 weeks pregnant and even though it'd be a funny birth story, I don't think I'd enjoy myself.

I don't know much about beer festivals but maybe there would be a way to recreate it at home? Or maybe you could have a sitter and go on a date to a local bar with handcrafted brews? Just a thought...
Still working two jobs, about 52 hours a week, graves. I cry everytime I have to get up and head to work at midnight. I just want someone to tell me I can't work this much this far into my Pregnancy... I desperately need that permission, otherwise I'll just keep truckin and cryin.
I'm so sorry! You are growing a person! You should be home with your feet up, now I want to cry for you. Please stop working, and if you have to work, than you are my hero, I worked til the day before with my first child and that was tough at a desk, and I was only 18!
@AngelGurl83 discuss options with your OB. If it's becoming hard for you to work and you can afford it I'm sure he would write you a note or give you a letter to try and lighten your load.
Today was the first day that my daughter who is 15 months old has worn shorts since she's been walking. I realize that this morning my husband let me pick out her clothes before I went to work even though he was going to be with her all day. I am now crying in the car at work.
I had my 36 week appointment yesterday and I cried at the doctors appointment, on the way home, and I cried at work all because I just realized how much weight I've gained. Then when I got home and my SO layed out all day and he was really tan and I can't get tan so I started bawling because i can't get tan. Haven't had crazy emotions like this until just now. SO had flowers on the counter when I got home today just because I had a bad day yesterday. So glad I have someone so supportive of my crazy emotions
I have cried over hearing songs about beer. Funny thing was even when I did drink, I hated beer. I think it's just the fact that its been since August since I have had anything.
I miss beer also lol I feel horrible but a cold bud light especially since its sunny would be awesome ! But it will be awhile even after the baby's born
I cried the other day thinking about the baby going off to college.... Ridiculous. And then the following night was hysterically crying while picking out a baby memory book online and I found out there was a page for his little footprints and handprints... I lost it. They are so tiny and adorable.
DH was being a total butthead the other night, and said something really vindictive that made me cry. Then he called me hormonal for crying, which made it worse. (This was one of our worst nights of the year, related to the bad hotel I posted in the Gripes thread. He's normally great.)
I am going to remember this to decide when I'm no longer pregnant, whether it was hormones or whether he was just that big of an ass. I am thinking it wasn't the hormones...
The other day I was petting Samurai and thinking about how he and LO were gonna be besties (hopefully) and then I realized how old Samurai is (7) which means the ewok will be 7 when the cat is 14 or 15. I was basically courting grief in advance, for my cat being old(ish) SEVEN YEARS FROM NOW. Stupid

I just cried over the exact same thing. My dog is seven too. : (
I'm crying right now because it's 1:30 am and my grandma keeps turning off the AC and I keep going out and turning it back on because I'm dying of heat and can't sleep. Starting to develop a nasty headache from lack of sleep..... My drive home tomorrow should be amazing........like really grandma can we just keep the ac on for one night ?!? I realize I sound like a spoiled brat right now....... Pregnancy needs to be over for me so I can get back to being a better person lpl
I think I'm also crying because I can't imagine less sleep ... And I'm terrified I'll have a horrible baby and never sleep again.... Does anyone feel that insomnia has aged them this pregnancy?
I thought I was doing so well in terms of not having my hormones affect my emotions - I've really not had any meltdowns at all (even though my DH likes to tease me that I'm "hormental"). Well we were in the car and the song Wires by Athlete came on the radio. I came very very close to bawling my eyes out. In my defence, the song is about the singer's baby being born prematurely, so I guess it's not surprising that listening to lyrics like that would affect me more than they would have prepregnancy.
I don't even know what I cry about sometimes! ! I woke up a couple nights ago crying my eyes out at 3am And Called My Mom lol!! I think I scared her because she calls at least 4 times a day now!

Me too. Buster cat is 13 and I worry that most likely LO will only be a kid when he passes. Which I still can't imagine happening.

Yeah. My cry was mostly cause I was realizing my kid would be 7-10 years old when his/her Praetorian Guard passes. Definitely old enough to understand death at that point, and be really affected by it. I was grieving for my grief far in advance, and for my kids grief, too. Its so far away... Why was I courting such dark thoughts? Makes no sense.
I cry about my cat dying all the time! At least twice a week. He's old and getting stiff in the joints. I want to take him to the vet to see if there's some pain meds I can give him but honestly I can't even tell my husband that I want to do it without tears, much less actually call for an appointment! So yesterday finally I told him that he'd have to call and take in the cat. I know he won't be around too much longer and I just can't quite handle it. Great, now I'm crying and I was just going to get up and make pancakes. MH is going to roll his eyes at me!
@Frogger5 there are glucosamine supplements (Cosequin or Dasuquin) your vet can recommend to help with arthritis. There is also a new-ish injectable medication / supplement that you could try called Adequan that was originally made for horses but the feline practice I worked at in NoLa was using on cats 5 years ago with great results, and the vet I worked for in NYC finally started trying it on cats the last year I worked there, also with good results. I used it on my oldsters when they seemed especially stiff and it did seem to loosen them up (Fun had a lot of arthritis). Cosequin and Dasuquin is a powder you put in the food, and it won't hurt if your younger cats eat it, either. Those need to be given daily, but they're cheaper than the adequan and work well if you keep consistent.
P.s. - all of the above are generally well tolerated and, as of when I was last in the industry (a year ago) were not shown to have any adverse effects on organ function - meaning older cats with kidney issues or thyroid issues should be able to use them without any additional labwork being done to make sure they are safe, etc. Of course, all patients are different, but I haven't yet seen any patient who was 'unable' medically to take them.

if its any help from about 29 weeks I had an insatiable craving for beer (apparently beer is the best pre nat/bfing vitamin you can get if it wasnt for the alcohol) all I would dream about was a beer. Started drinking sparkling water in glass bottles and it fixes my craving. I think the super fizzy savouryness of sparkling water kind of tricked me
I *almost cry.. Mostly stress really bad that I can't take my husky to the dog park without DH anymore, and he looks super bored and sad sometimes during the day and is making me feel guilty that we have to wait for dad to get home before we go
My dog has been acting up, testing me, etc, and I couldn't stop crying because my husband couldn't understand why I was so upset! I can't have a dog testing me with a newborn. It needs to be addressed pronto, and he acts like I'm blowing things out of proportion.
I cried because I made a mistake assembling the stupid glider. DH didn't want to help and then thought I was being silly for crying. What were they thinking with those instructions? Most people who are going to attempt to make it are going to be stressed/ hormonal. Stupid instruction writers (
I cry about my dog getting old all the time and when I think about eventually having to put her down or her passing away, I completely lose it. She's not even 2 yet, just to throw that out there.
My husband even got in on the sad action of thinking about one day not having her around. He wasn't bawling like I was but he covered his face with a blanket and resurfaced seconds later with red, teary eyes.
