every little thing is setting me off today. I'm feeling anxious / stressed / mad about everything. My poor husband. Is this hormones? Anyone else feeling this way?
Last night I got milk out of the fridge and saw our first u/s pic and then started crying because he/she has gotten so much bigger since! (I call it the "happy cry"). Hang in there!
Lol! I relate so much to this post. I'm on my third pregnancy now. Trust me. It gets a little easier when you take time to HALT. That goes for when you are pregnant or not. HALT stands for stop and evaluate if you are hungry, angry, lonely or tired. Try to address the needs at hand after closing your eyes and counting to ten. Sometimes when your hormones run off on you, you just need to take a minute and relax to lower your blood pressure. Am I going to say that I don't lose my temper even though my hormones are crazy?..... Lol!!! Hell no. But this has helped me in the meantime and my family as well, so I hope it helps you too.
I had a bout of crying and panic last night...I wake up some days and don't want to get out of bed, but I have a very loving and caring hubby that I cry too and I hug and love on my doggie. I'm also starting to do pregnancy yoga and meditation when I can at work. Hang in there and take it one day at a time

I was trying to pick out a Father's Day card on Saturday (last minute I know) and starting crying reading them. I was so overwhelmed with the thought of my husband being a Dad to our baby girl. Luckily I didn't run into anyone I knew which is a miracle in my town!

Angry. Always angry. But not normal angry, hangry.
I'm 17 weeks and while I do apologize to my husband when I am grumpy he gets the brunt of it. I don't call him names I'm just short tempered and sometimes selfish. He's starting to feel like this crazy grumpy lady is his real wife and not the relaxed fun-loving woman I actually am. I'm so sick of fighting with him. It's not fair. I apologize but he says that those are only words to him anymore because I say them so frequently. Dang it!
I thought my emotional stage was over, but boy was I wrong. On Sunday, my DH & I were at Caribou for some coffee after church. Made a simple coffee order, and DH got his right away, but I waited over 20 minutes for mine - they totally forgot my order. I asked about it twice, and they never apologized or even admitted to forgetting about it. I started to cry, had to go into the bathroom to sob it out, and my DH got to deal with the ridiculous staff there. It took me like 15 minutes to stop crying. LOL! So embarassing, I had to walk out of there with my sunglasses on because it looked like I had been smoking weed for a week straight my eyes were so red. DH was a champ and was so nice about it. Oh pregnancy......
Re: Crazy emotions!
I think it's pretty normal.
But not normal angry, hangry.
